EUT: Vehicle Asset Communicator Report No: 0048-160125-01 Model: VAC4 FCC ID:N5VVAC4A IC: 3802A-VAC4A 1 Until February 1, 1999, this restricted band shall be 0.490-0.510 MHz. 2 Above 38.6 §15.205 (b) Except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e), the field strength of emissions appearing within these frequency bands shall not exceed the limits shown in Section 15.209. At frequencies equal to or less than 1000 MHz, compliance with the limits in Section 15.209 shall be demonstrated using measurement instrumentation employing a CISPR quasi-peak detector. Above 1000 MHz, compliance with the emission limits in Section 15.209 shall be demonstrated based on the average value of the measured emissions. The provisions in Section 15.35 apply to these measurements. §15.209 (a) Except as provided elsewhere in this Subpart, the emissions from an intentional radiator shall not exceed the field strength levels specified in the following table: Frequency Field Strength Measurement Distance (MHz) (microvolts/meter) (meters) ____________________________________________________________ 30 - 88 100 ** 3 88 - 216 150 ** 3 216 - 960 200 ** 3 Above 960 500 3 _______________________________________________________________ §15.209 (b) In the emission table above, the tighter limit applies at the band edges. TEST PROCEDURE The EUT is placed on a non-conducting table 80 cm above the ground plane. The antenna to EUT distance is 3 meters. The EUT is configured in accordance with ANSI C63.4. The EUT is set to transmit in a continuous mode. Established procedures in C63.10 for performing radiated measurements shall be used. For cabinet emission measurements, the EUT transmit antenna may be replaced with a termination matching the nominal impedance of the antenna. For portable devices, the EUT was tested in three orthogonal planes. For measurements below 1 GHz the resolution bandwidth is set to 100 kHz for peak detection measurements or 120 kHz for quasi-peak detection measurements. Peak detection is used unless otherwise noted as quasi-peak. For measurements above 1 GHz the resolution bandwidth is set to 1 MHz, and then the video bandwidth is set to 1 MHz for peak measurements and 10 Hz for average measurements. The radio spectrum was investigated from the lowest frequency generated within the device (without going below 9 kHz) up to the 10th harmonic of the rated transmitted emission. The emissions are investigated with the transmitter set to the lowest, middle, and highest channels. The emissions are investigated with the transmitter set to the lowest, middle, and highest channels, if applicable. The frequency range of interest is monitored at a fixed antenna height and EUT azimuth. The EUT is rotated through 360 degrees to maximize emissions received. The antenna is scanned from 1 to 4 meters above the ground plane to further maximize the emission. Measurements are made with the antenna polarized in both the vertical and the horizontal positions.
