2.1 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES


2.2 OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH - §2.1049
The antenna output terminal of the EUT was connected to the input of a 50Ω spectrum analyzer
through a matched 30dB attenuator. The radio transmitter was operating at maximum output
power with and without internal data modulation. 100% of the in-band modulation was below the
specified mask per §24.238.

2.3 OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH EMISSION LIMITS - §24.238
    1. On any frequency outside a licensee’s frequency block, the power of any emission shall be
       attenuated below the transmitter power (P) by at least 43 + 10 log(P) dB.
    2. Compliance with these provisions is based on the use of measurement instrumentation
       employing a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz or greater. However, in the 1 MHz bands
       immediately outside and adjacent to the frequency block a resolution bandwidth of at least
       one percent of the emission bandwidth of the fundamental emission of the transmitter may
       be employed. The emission bandwidth is defined as the width of the signal between two
       points, one below the carrier center frequency and one above the carrier center frequency,
       outside of which all emission are attenuated at least 26 dB below the transmitter power.
    3. When measuring the emission limits, the nominal carrier frequency shall be adjusted as
       close to the licensee’s frequency block edges, both upper and lower, as the design permits.
    4. The measurement of emission power can be expressed in peak or average values, provided
       they are expressed in the same parameters as the transmitter power.

2.4 SPURIOUS EMISSIONS AT ANTENNA TERMINAL - §2.1051
The level of the carrier and the various conducted spurious and harmonic frequencies was
measured by means of a calibrated spectrum analyzer. The spectrum was scanned from 10MHz
to 20GHz. The antenna output terminal of the EUT was connected to the input of a 50Ω
spectrum analyzer through a matched 30dB attenuator and coaxial cable. The transmitter was
operating at maximum power with internal data modulation.

2.5 RADIATED SPURIOUS AND HARMONIC EMISSIONS - §2.1053
Radiated and harmonic emissions above 1 GHz were measured at our 3-meter outdoor site. The
EUT was placed on the turntable with the transmitter transmitting into a non-radiating load. A
receiving antenna located 3 meters from the turntable received any signal radiated from the
transmitter and its operating accessories. The receiving antenna was varied from 1 to 4 meters
and the polarization was varied to determine the worst-case emission level.

2.6 FREQUENCY STABILITY / TEMPERATURE VARIATION - §2.1055, §24.135

Method of Measurement:
In order to measure the carrier frequency under the condition of AFC lock, it is necessary to make
measurements with the DUT in “call mode”. This is accomplished with the use of an R&S CMU
200 Universal Radio Communication Tester.


1. Measure the carrier frequency at room temperature.
2. Subject the DUT to a 1.5 hour soak at -30 C.
3. With the DUT, powered via 5.0 Volts, connected to the R&S CMU 200 and in a simulated call
on channel 661 (center channel), measure the carrier frequency. These measurements should be
made within 2 minutes of powering up the DUT, to prevent significant self-warming.
4. Repeat the above measurements at 10 C increments from -30 C to +50 C. Allow at least 45
minutes at each temperature, un-powered, before making measurements. At all temperature levels
hold the temperature to +/- 0.5 C during the measurement procedure.
5. Re-measure carrier frequency at room temperature with nominal 5.0 Volts. Vary supply voltage
from minimum 3.1 Volts to 3.5 Volts, in 0.2 Volt increments re-measuring the carrier frequency
at each voltage. Then vary the supply voltage from 4.5V to the maximum 5.5V, in 0.2V
increments re-measuring the carrier frequency at each voltage


Measurement Limit:
According to the JTC standard the frequency stability of the carrier shall be accurate to within 0.1
ppm of the received frequency from the base station. This accuracy is sufficient to meet Sec.
24.235, Frequency Stability. The frequency stability shall be sufficient to ensure that the
fundamental emission stays within the authorized frequency block. As this transceiver is
considered "Hand carried, battery powered equipment…," Section 2.1055(d)(2) applies. This
requires that the manufacturer specify the voltage limits for frequency stability testing. This
transceiver is specified to operate with an input voltage of between 3.15 VDC and 3.45 VDC,
with a nominal voltage of 3.3 VDC and between 4.5 VDC and 5.5 VDC, with a nominal voltage
of 5.0 VDC. Operation above or below these voltage limits is prohibited by transceiver software
in order to prevent improper operation as well as to protect components from overstress. These
voltages represent a tolerance of + 5 % and -5 % for the nominal voltage of 3.3 VDC and a
tolerance of +10% and –10% for 5 VDC. For the purposes of measuring frequency stability these
voltage limits are to be used.

Notes:
EIRP Measurements by Substitution Method:

The EUT was placed on a turntable 3-meters from the receive antenna. The field of maximum
intensity was found by rotating the EUT approximately 360 degrees and changing the height of the
receive antenna from 1 to 4 meters. The field strength was recorded from a calibrated spectrum
analyzer for each channel being tested, and for both EUT antenna polarizations and modes. A standard
gain horn antenna was substituted in place of the EUT. The antenna was fed through a directional
coupler and the power at the coupler port was monitored. A signal generator and power amplifier
controlled the antenna, and the input level of the antenna was adjusted to the same field strength level
as the EUT. The feed point for the antenna was then connected to a calibrated power meter and the
power adjusted to read the same as the coupler port previously recorded, this is to account for any
mismatch in impedance, which may occur at the horn antenna. The conducted power at the antenna
feed point was recorded. The forward power for the antenna was then determined and the EIRP level
was determined by adding the forward power and the antenna gain in dB.

   Radiated Measurements by Substitution Method:
   The EUT was placed on a turntable 3-meters from the receive antenna. The field of maximum intensity
   was found by rotating the EUT approximately 360 degrees and changing the height of the receive antenna
   from 1 to 4 meters. The field strength was recorded from a calibrated spectrum analyzer for each channel
   being tested. A standard gain horn antenna was substituted in place of the EUT. The antenna was fed
   through a directional coupler and the power at the coupler port was monitored. A signal generator and
   power amplifier controlled the antenna, and the input level of the antenna was adjusted to the same field
   strength level as the EUT. The feed point for the antenna was then connected to a calibrated power meter
   and the power adjusted to read the same as the coupler port previously recorded, this is to account for any
   mismatch in impedance, which may occur at the horn antenna. The conducted power at the antenna feed
   point was recorded. The forward power for the antenna was then determined and the EIRP level was
   determined by adding the forward power and the antenna gain in dB.
