8      Frequency Stability versus Temperature
       FCC 2.1055, FCC 22.355, FCC 24.235

8.1 Summary of Results
The EUT’s Frequency Stability versus temperature meets the requirements of less than
2.5ppm when temperature varies from -30°C to +70°C.

8.2 Test Procedure
The EUT was placed inside a temperature chamber. 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 +70°C is reached.
Frequency metering included internal averaging of the CMU200 to stabilize the reading.
Reference power supply voltage for these tests is 3.8 volts.

9      Frequency Stability versus Voltage
       FCC 2.1055, FCC 22.355, FCC 24.235

9.1 Summary of Results
The EUT is specified to operate with a supply voltage varying between 3.4VDC and
4.2VDC, having a nominal voltage of 3.8 VDC. 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.

9.2 Test Procedure
The EUT was connected to a DC Power Supply and a UMTS test set (CMU 200) 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 3.4 volts to 4.2 volts.

NOTE: Below 3.4V and above 4.2V, the device stops transmitting.
