2.3     Radiated Emissions Test Site Description

2.3.1    Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site

The Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site consists of a 20’ x 30’ x 18’ shielded enclosure. The
chamber is lined with Toyo Ferrite Grid Absorber, model number FFG-1000. The ferrite tile grid is
101 x 101 x 19mm thick and weighs approximately 550 grams. These tiles are mounted on steel
panels and installed directly on the inner walls of the chamber.

The turntable is 150cm in diameter and is located 160cm from the back wall of the chamber. The
chamber is grounded via 1 - 8’ copper ground rod, installed at the center of the back wall, it is
bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable.

The turntable is all steel, flush mounted table installed in an all steel frame. The table is remotely
operated from inside the control room located 25’ from the range. The turntable is electrically
bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table.
The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation.

Behind the turntable is a 3’ x 6’ x 4’ deep shielded pit used for support equipment if necessary.
The pit is equipped with 1 - 4” PVC chases from the turntable to the pit that allow for cabling to
the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can
be supplied to the EUT from the pit.

A diagram of the Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site is shown in Figure 2.3-1 below:

2.3.2   Open Area Tests Site (OATS)

The open area test site consists of a 40’ x 66’ concrete pad covered with a perforated electro-
plated galvanized sheet metal. The perforations in the sheet metal are 1/8” holes that are
staggered every 3/16”. The individual sheets are placed to overlap each other by 1/4” and are
riveted together to provide a continuous seam. Rivets are spaced every 3” in a 3 x 20 meter
perimeter around the antenna mast and EUT area. Rivets in the remaining area are spaced as
necessary to properly secure the ground plane and maintain the electrical continuity.

The entire ground plane extends 12’ beyond the turntable edge and 16’ beyond the antenna mast
when set to a 10 meter measurement distance. The ground plane is grounded via 4 - 8’ copper
ground rods, each installed at a corner of the ground plane and bound to the ground plane using
3/4" stainless steel braided cable.

The turntable is an all aluminum 10’ flush mounted table installed in an all aluminum frame. The
table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 40’ from the range. The turntable
is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of
the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation.

Adjacent to the turntable is a 7’ x 7’ square and 4’ deep concrete pit used for support equipment if
necessary. The pit is equipped with 5 - 4” PVC chases from the pit to the control room that allow
for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit
so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit. The pit is covered with 2 sheets of 1/4"
diamond style re-enforced steel sheets. The sheets are painted to match the perforated steel
ground plane; however the underside edges have been masked off to maintain the electrical
continuity of the ground plane. All reflecting objects are located outside of the ellipse defined in
ANSI C63.4.

A diagram of the Open Area Test Site is shown in Figure 2.3-2 below:

Along with the tabular data shown below, plots were taken of all signals deemed important
enough to document.

7.1      Antenna Requirement – FCC: Section 15.203

The antenna is a PCB loop antenna which is integral to the design.

7.2      Power Line Conducted Emissions – FCC: Section 15.207 IC: RSS-Gen 7.2.4

7.2.1      Measurement Procedure

ANSI C63.4 sections 6 and 7 were the guiding documents for this evaluation. Conducted
emissions were performed from 150kHz to 30MHz with the spectrum analyzer’s resolution
bandwidth set to 9kHz and the video bandwidth set to 30kHz. The calculation for the conducted
emissions is as follows:

Corrected Reading = Analyzer Reading + LISN Loss + Cable Loss
Margin = Applicable Limit - Corrected Reading

7.3     Radiated Emissions – FCC CFR 47 Part 15.209 / RSS-210 Section 2.5

7.3.1    Measurement Procedure

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
                                        th
1000MHz which greater than the 10 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.

The spectrum analyzer’s resolution and video bandwidth was set to 200 Hz and 1 kHz
respectively for frequencies below 150 kHz and 9 kHz and 30 kHz respectively for frequencies
above 150 kHz and below 30 MHz. 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.

Measurements above 30 MHz 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 1000 MHz, quasi-peak measurements
were made using a resolution bandwidth (RBW) of 120 kHz and a video bandwidth (VBW) of 300
kHz.

For measurements of fundamental emissions where average measurements are specified, the
spectrum analyzer’s resolution bandwidth (RBW) was adjusted equal to or greater than the
emission bandwidth (EBW).

7.3.2 Distance Correction for Measurements Below 30 MHz – Part 15.31
Radiated measurements were performed at a distance closer than 300 meters and 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 300m
measurement distance and a 30m measurement distance.

Distance correction factor (300m Specified Test Distance) = 40*Log (Test Distance/300)
                           = 40*Log (3/300)
                           = - 80 dB

Distance correction factor (30m Specified Test Distance) = 40*Log (Test Distance/30)
                           = 40*Log (3/30)
                           = - 40 dB

7.4     20dB / 99% Bandwidth – FCC: Section 15.215, IC: RSS-Gen 4.6.1

7.4.1    Measurement Procedure

The span of the spectrum analyzer display was set between two times and five times the
occupied bandwidth (OBW) of the emission. The RBW of the spectrum analyzer was set to
100Hz. The trace was set to max hold with a peak detector active. The Delta function of the
analyzer was utilized to determine the 20 dB bandwidth of the emission.

The occupied bandwidth measurement function of the analyzer was used for the 99% bandwidth.
The span of the analyzer shall be set to capture all products of the modulation process, including
the emission skirts. The resolution bandwidth shall be set to as close to 1% of the selected span
as is possible without being below 1%. A sampling detector was used.
