The out of band emission limit translates to a worst case absolute limit of -13dBm in this case. 8.1 Test Procedure The RF output of the transmitter was connected to a spectrum analyzer through a calibrated coaxial cable. Sufficient scans were taken to show the out-of-band emissions, if any, up to 10th harmonic. The EUT was scanned for spurious emissions from 1MHz to 20GHz with sufficient bandwidth and video resolution. Data plots are included. Multiple sweeps were recorded in maximum hold mode using a peak detector to ensure that the worst-case emissions were captured.

The temperature was set to -30C and maintained to stabilize. After sufficient soak time, the transmitting frequency error was measured. The temperature was then increased by 10 degrees, maintained to stabilize, and the measurement was repeated. This procedure was repeated until +50C is reached. Frequency metering included internal averaging of the Radio Communication Tester to stabilize the reading. Reference power supply voltage for these tests is 5.0 volts.

It meets the frequency stability limit of less than 2.5ppm when supply voltage varies within the specified limits. Operation above or below these voltage limits is prohibited by firmware in order to prevent improper operation. 11.2 Test Procedure The EUT was connected to a DC Power Supply and a Radio Communication Tester with frequency error measurement capability. The power supply output was adjusted to the test voltage as measured at the input terminals to the device while transmitting. A voltmeter was used to confirm the terminal voltage. The peak frequency error is recorded (worst case). The test voltages are 3.0 volts to 4.2 volts.
