FCC PART 15, SUBPART C - LOW POWER TRANSMITTERS Page 13 Automated Inventory Control System (AICS) Asset Tag, Model GSAM-ATB-01 FCC ID: N6OGSAMATB01 FCC CFR 47, Para. 2.993 - Field Strength Spurious Emissions (a) Measurements was made to detect spurious emissions radiated directly from the cabinet, control circuits, power leads, or intermediate circuit elements under normal conditions of installation and operation. Curves or equivalent data were supplied showing the magnitude of each harmonic and other spurious emission. For this test, single sideband, independent sideband, and controlled carrier transmitters shall be modulated under the conditions specified in paragraph 2.989(c) as appropriate. For equipment operating on frequencies below 1 GHz, an Open Field Test is normally required, with the measuring instrument antenna located in the far field at all test frequencies. In event it is either impractical or impossible to make open field measurements (e.g. a broadcast transmitter installed in a building) measurement will be accepted of the equipment as installed. Such measurements must be accompanied by a description of the site where the measurements were made showing the location of any possible source of reflections, which might distort the field strength measurements. Information submitted shall include the relative radiated power of each spurious emission with the reference to the rated power output of the transmitter, assuming all emissions are radiated from half-wave dipole antennas. (b) Measurements specified in paragraph (a) of this section shall be made for the following equipment: (1) Those in which the spurious emission are required to be 60 dB or more below the mean power of the transmitter. (2) All equipment operating on frequencies higher than 25 MHz (3) All equipment where the antenna is an integral part of, and attached directly to the transmitter. (4) Other types of equipment as required, when deemed necessary by the Commission. TEST RESULTS: Conforms.

Electrical Field Radiated Emissions Measurements - General Test Method • The radiated emission measurements were performed at the UltraTech’s 3 Meter Open Field Test Site (OFTS) situated in the Town of Oakville, province of Ontario. The Attenuation Characteristics of OFTS have been filed to FCC. • Radiated emissions measurements were made using the following test instruments: 1) Calibrated EMCO active loop antenna in the frequency range from 10 KHz to 1 MHz 2) Calibrated EMCO biconilog antenna in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 2000 MHz. 3) Calibrated A.H. Systems log periodic antenna in the frequency range above 1000 MHz (1GHz - 18 GHz). 4) Horn Antennas: a) Horn Antenna, Emco, Model 3160-09, 18-26.5GHz b) Horn Antenna, Emco, Model 3160-10, 26.5-40GHz c) Mixer, Tektronix, P/N 118-0098-00, 18-26.5GHz d) Mixer, Tektronix, P/N 119-0098-00, 26.5-40GHz e) Mixer, HP, P/N R3434A, 12.4-18GHz f) Mixer, HP, P/N R3434B, 18-26.5GHz g) Mixer, HP, P/N R3434C, 26.5-40GHz 5) Calibrated Advantest spectrum analyzer and pre-selector/pre-amplifier. In general, the spectrum analyzer would be used as follows: − The rf electric field levels were measured with the spectrum analyzer set to PEAK detector (1 KHz RBW and 1 KHz VBW for frequency below 30 MHz, 100 KHz RBW and VBW > RBW for Frequency below 1 GHz and 1 MHz RBW and 1 MHz VBW for frequency greater than 1 GHz). − If any rf emission was observed to be a broadband noise, the spectrum analyzer's CISPR QUASI- PEAK detector (120 KHz RBW and 1MHz VBW) was then set to measure the signal level. − If the signal being measured was narrowband and the ambient field was broadband, the bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer was reduced. • The EUT was set-up in its typical configuration and operated in its various modes as described in 3.2 of the test report. • The frequencies of emissions was first detected. Then the amplitude of the emissions was measured at the specified measurement distance using required antenna height, polarization, and detector characteristics. • During this process, cables and peripheral devices were manipulated within the range of likely configuration. • For each mode of operation required to be tested, the frequency spectrum was monitored. Variations in antenna heights (from 1 meter to 4 meters above the ground plane), antenna polarization (horizontal plane and vertical plane), cable placement and peripheral placement (each variable within bounds specified elsewhere) were explored to produce the highest amplitude signal relative to the limit.

FCC PART 15, SUBPART C - LOW POWER TRANSMITTERS Page 21 Automated Inventory Control System (AICS) Asset Tag, Model GSAM-ATB-01 FCC ID: N6OGSAMATB01 The maximum radiated emission for a given mode of operation was found by using the following step-by-step procedure: Step1: Monitor the frequency range of interest at a fixed antenna height and EUT azimuth. Step2: Manipulate the system cables to produce highest amplitude signal relative to the limit. Note the amplitude and frequency of the suspect signal. Step3: Rotate the EUT 360 degrees to maximize the suspected highest amplitude signal. If the signal or another at a different frequency is observed to exceed the previously noted highest amplitude signal by 1 dB or more, go back to the azimuth and repeat Step 2. Otherwise, orient the EUT azimuth to repeat the highest amplitude observation and proceed. Step4: Move the antenna over its full allowed range of travel (1 to 4 meters) to maximize the suspected highest amplitude signal. If the signal or another at a different frequency is observed to exceed the previously noted highest amplitude signal by 1 dB or more, return to Step 2 with the highest amplitude observation and proceed. Step5: Change the polarization of the antenna and repeat Step 2 through 4. Compare the resulting suspected highest amplitude signal with that found for the other polarization. Select and note the higher of the two signals. This signal is termed the highest observed signal with respect to the limit for this EUT operational mode. Step6: The effects of various modes of operation is examined. This is done by varying the equipment modes as steps 2 through 5 are being performed. Step7: After completing steps 1 through 6, record the final highest emission level, frequency, antenna polarization and detector mode of the measuring instrument. UltraTech Engineering Labs Inc.

FCC PART 15, SUBPART C - LOW POWER TRANSMITTERS Page 22 Automated Inventory Control System (AICS) Asset Tag, Model GSAM-ATB-01 FCC ID: N6OGSAMATB01 Calculation of Field Strength: The field strength is calculated by adding the calibrated antenna factor and cable factor, and subtracting the Amplifier gain (if any) from the measured reading. The basic equation with a sample calculation is as follows: FS = RA + AF + CF - AG Where FS = Field Strength RA = Receiver/Analyzer Reading AF = Antenna Factor CF = Cable Attenuation Factor AG = Amplifier Gain Example: If a receiver reading of 60.0 dBuV is obtained, the antenna factor of 7.0 dB/m and cable factor of 1.0 dB are added, and the amplifier gain of 30 dB is subtracted. The actual field strength will be:. Field Level in dBuV/m = 60 + 7.0 + 1.0 - 30 = 38.0 dBuV/m. Field Level in uV/m = 10(38/20) = 79.43 uV/m. Notes: The frequency and amplitude of at least six highest conducted emissions relative to the limit are recorded unless such emissions are more than 20 dB below the limit. If less than six emissions are within 20dB of the limit, the background or receiver noise level shall be reported at representative frequencies. UltraTech Engineering Labs Inc.
