2.6     Test Facility

2.6.1   General
        Radiated Emission measurements were performed at EMC Technologies open area test site
        (OATS) situated at Lerderderg Gorge, near the township of Bacchus Marsh in Victoria, Australia.
        Conducted measurements at an antenna ports were performed at EMC Technologies' laboratory
        in Keilor Park, Victoria Australia.

        The above test sites have been accepted for testing by the Federal Communications Commission
        (FCC) - FCC Registration Number 90560.
        EMC Technologies open area test site (OATS) has also been accepted by Industry Canada for
        the performance of radiated measurements in accordance with RSS 212, Issue 1 (Provisional).
        Industry Canada File Number IC 3569B-1.


2.6.2   NATA Accreditation
        EMC Technologies is accredited in Australia to test to the following standards by the National
        Association of Testing Authorities (NATA).

        “FCC Part 15 unintentional and intentional emitters in the frequency range 9kHz to 18 GHz
        excluding TV receivers (15.117 and 15.119), TV interface devices (15.115), cable ready
        consumer electronic equipment (15.118), cable locating equipment (15.213) and
        unlicensed national information infrastructure devices (Sub part E).”

        The current full scope of accreditation can be found on the NATA website: www.nata.asn.au
        It also includes a large number of emissions, immunity, SAR, EMR and Safety standards.

        NATA is the Australian national laboratory accreditation body and has accredited EMC
        Technologies to operate to the IEC/ISO17025 requirements.              A major requirement for
        accreditation is the assessment of the company and its personnel as being technically competent
        in testing to the standards. This requires fully documented test procedures, continued calibration
        of all equipment to the National Standard at the National Measurements Institute (NMI) and an
        internal quality system to ISO 9002. NATA has mutual recognition agreements with the National
        Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and the American Association for
        Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).


2.7     Test Equipment Calibration
        All measurement instrumentation and transducers were calibrated in accordance with the
        applicable standards by an independent NATA registered laboratory such as Agilent
        Technologies (Australia) Pty Ltd or the National Measurement Institute (NMI). All equipment
        calibration is traceable to Australia national standards at the National Measurements Institute.
        The reference antenna calibration was performed by NMI and the working antennas (biconical
        and log-periodic) calibrated by the NATA approved procedures. The complete list of test
        equipment used for the measurements, including calibration dates and traceability is contained in
        Appendix A.


2.8     Ambients at OATS
        The Open Area Test Site (OATS) is an area of low background ambient signals. No significant
        broadband ambients are present however commercial radio and TV signals exceed the limit in
        the FM radio, VHF and UHF television bands. Radiated prescan measurements were performed

                                            RESULTS

3.0     PEAK POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENTS
        Refer to original approval under FCC ID: N7NGOBI2 (Canada ID: 2417C-GOBI2) certified by
        Sierra Wireless.

        Testing was performed by QUADCOMM Incorporated, San Diego CA.


4.0     EIPR and OUT of BAND EMISSIONS (Fundamental & Spurious/ Harmonics)

4.1     Test Procedure
        Testing was performed in accordance with the requirements of FCC Part 24.238 and FCC Part
        22.917(a).

        As per 24.238(a) – The limits of any emissions outside the frequency band shall be attenuated by
        at least 43 + 10log(P) dB, where P is the measured transmitter output power.

        This UMTS module was originally tested and certified by the manufacturer as a stand-alone
        module outside a laptop (host) with higher gain antennas. Refer to manufacturer’s original FCC
        Part 22 & 24 radiated test report for full results showing compliance with the spurious and
        harmonics limits. However, to ensure the UMTS module install in T900 / TH900 LifeBook is still in
        compliance, verification tests were performed at selected frequencies for harmonics and spurious
        emissions.

        The EUT was slowly rotated with the Peak Detector set to Max-Hold. This was performed for two
        antenna heights. When an emission was located, it was positively identified and its maximum
        level found by rotating the automated turntable, and by varying the antenna height. Each
        significant peak was investigated. This process was performed for both horizontal and vertical
        antenna polarisations.

        A substitution measurement was used to measure the fundamental and harmonics. The EUT was
        replaced with a calibrated horn antenna (above 1 GHz) and calibrated dipole antenna (below 1
        GHz) that was connected to a calibrated signal generator. The output level of the signal
        generator was adjusted until the same level on the spectrum analyser observed. The level of the
        signal generator output in dBm less any loss/gain due to the coax cable and the antenna.



4.2     Radiated Emissions
4.2.1   Frequency Band: 1 – 20 GHz
        Calibrated EMCO 3115, EMCO 3116 and ETS Standard Horn antennas were used for
        measurements between 1 to 20 GHz.

        The measurements were made at the open area test site at a distance of 3 metres.

        The measurement of emissions was measured using the following setting:
        RBW = VBW = 1 MHz
        Except band-edge, RBW = VBW = 10 kHz

        The receiver bandwidth was set to 6 dB.

        Testing was performed while transmitter continuously transmitted on a low, middle and high
        frequency channel. All orientations were investigated and tested. Worst cases of harmonics were
        reported below.

7.0    CONDUCTED EMISSION MEASUREMENTS

7.1    Test Procedure
       The arrangement specified in ANSI/TIA/EIA-603 and ANSI C63.4-2003 was adhered to for the
       conducted EMI measurements. The EUT was placed in the RF screened enclosure and a CISPR
       EMI Receiver as defined in ANSI C63.2-1996 was used to perform the measurements.

       The EMI Receiver was operated under program control using the Max-Hold function and
       automatic frequency scanning, measurement and data logging techniques. The specified 0.15
       MHz to 30 MHz frequency range was sub-divided into sub-ranges to ensure that all short duration
       peaks were captured.


7.2    Peak Maximising Procedure
       The various operating modes of the system were investigated. For each of the sub-ranges, the
       EMI receiver was set to continuous scan with the Peak detector set to Max-Hold mode. The
       Quasi-Peak detector and the Average detector were then invoked to measure the actual Quasi-
       Peak and Average level of the most significant peaks, which were detected.


7.3    Calculation of Voltage Levels
       The voltage levels were automatically measured in software and compared to the test limit.
       The method of calculation was as follows:

                      VEMI = VRx + LBPF

        Where:        VEMI = the Measured EMI voltage in dBµV to be compared to the limit.
                      VRx = the Voltage in dBµV read directly at the EMI receiver.
                      LBPF = the loss in dB of the cables and the Limiter and Pass Filter.


7.4    Plotting of Conducted Emission Measurement Data
       The measurement data pertaining to each frequency sub-range were then concatenated to form
       a single graph of (peak) amplitude versus frequency. This was performed for both Active and
       Neutral lines and the composite graph were subsequently plotted. A list of the highest relevant
       peaks and the respective Quasi-Peak and Average values were also plotted on the graph.


7.5    Results of Conducted Emission Measurements (AC Mains Ports)
       The worst case conducted EMI complied with both quasi peak and average limits by margins of
       greater than 10 dB.
