The EUT was rotated 360º and the loop antenna rotated about the vertical axis to maximize each emission. The magnetic loop receiving antenna was positioned with its center 1 meter above the ground. The spectrum analyzer’s resolution and video bandwidths were set to 9 kHz and 30 kHz respectively. A peak detector was used which shows worst case. The measurements were corrected by a distance correction factor, antenna correction factors, and cable loss for comparison to the limits. Sample correction factors and calculations can be found section 7.3.2.2 and 7.3.2.4. 7.3.1.2 Test Results Compliance with the emissions levels are shown in figure 7.3.1.2-1 below. * RBW 9 kHz Marker 1 [T1 ] VBW 30 kHz 44.99 dBµV Ref 84 dBµV Att 40 dB SWT 15 ms 13.562000000 MHz Offset -28.7 dB 80 B 70 1 PK VIEW LVL 60 50 1 40 15_225 30 6DB 20 10 0 -10 Center 13.56 MHz 100 kHz/ Span 1 MHz Date: 11.APR.2011 09:35:05 Figure 7.3.1.2-1: Emission Mask Plot ACS Report: 11-0087.W06.11.A Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 12

Model: FlexPay Contactless FCC ID: N6SGCM IC: 827B-GCM 7.3.2 Out-of-Band Emissions – FCC Part 15.225(d) / IC RSS-Gen 7.2.5 7.3.2.1 Test Methodology Section 15.33(a)(4) specifies, if the intentional radiator contains a digital device, regardless of whether this digital device controls the functions of the intentional radiator or the digital device is used for additional control or function purposes other than to enable the operation of the intentional radiator, the frequency range shall be investigated up to frequency specified in 15.33(b)(1) for unintentional radiators. The upper frequency range for the digital device is 1000MHz which greater than the 10th harmonic of the fundamental frequency. The upper frequency range measured was 1000MHz. Measurements below 30MHz were performed in a semi-anechoic chamber with a 3 meter separation distance between the EUT and measurement antenna. The EUT was rotated 360º and the loop antenna rotated about the vertical axis to maximize each emission. The magnetic loop receiving antenna was positioned with its center 1 meter above the ground. For measurements in the frequency bands 9-90 kHz and 110-490 kHz, an average detector was used. When average measurements are specified, the peak emissions were also compared to a limit corresponding to 20 dB above the maximum permitted average limit according to Part 15.35. All other emissions were measured using a Quasi-peak detector. The final measurements were then corrected by a distance correction factor, antenna correction factors, and cable loss for comparison to the limits. Measurements above 30MHz were performed in a semi-anechoic chamber with a 3 meter separation distance between the EUT and measurement antenna. The EUT was rotated through 360° and the receive antenna height was varied from 1m to 4m so that the maximum radiated emissions level would be detected. For frequencies below 1000MHz, quasi-peak measurements were made. The spectrum analyzer’s resolution bandwidth was set to equal to or greater than 100 Hz from 9 kHz to 150 kHz, 9 kHz from 150 kHz to 30 MHz, 120 kHz from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz, and 1 MHz from 1 GHz to 40 GHz. For measurements for > 30MHz, the highest emissions with respect to the limit are reported. 7.3.2.2 Distance Correction for Measurements Below 30 MHz – Part 15.31 Radiated measurements were performed at a distance closer than 30m as required according to Part 15.209. Therefore a correction factor was applied to account for propagation loss at the specified distance. The propagation loss was determined by using the square of an inverse linear distance extrapolation factor (40dB/decade) according to 15.31. A sample calculation of the distance correction factor is shown below for limits expressed at a 30m measurement distance. Distance correction factor (30m Specified Test Distance) = 40*Log (Test Distance/30) = 40*Log (3/30) = - 40 dB ACS Report: 11-0087.W06.11.A Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 13
