2. TEST METHODOLOGY
The tests documented in this report were performed in accordance with TIA-603-C, FCC CFR
47 Part 2, FCC CFR 47 Part 22, FCC CFR Part 24, RSS-132 Issue 2, and RSS-133 Issue 5.

3. FACILITIES AND ACCREDITATION
The test sites and measurement facilities used to collect data are located at 47173 Benicia
Street, Fremont, California, USA.
CCS is accredited by NVLAP, Laboratory Code 200065-0. The full scope of accreditation can be
viewed at http://www.ccsemc.com.

4. CALIBRATION AND UNCERTAINTY
   4.1.        MEASURING INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION
The measuring equipment utilized to perform the tests documented in this report has been
calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and is traceable to
recognized national standards.

   4.2.        SAMPLE CALCULATION

Where relevant, the following sample calculation is provided:
       Field Strength (dBuV/m) = Measured Voltage (dBuV) + Antenna Factor (dB/m) +
       Cable Loss (dB) – Preamp Gain (dB)
       36.5 dBuV + 18.7 dB/m + 0.6 dB – 26.9 dB = 28.9 dBuV/m



   4.3.        MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY

Where relevant, the following measurement uncertainty levels have been estimated for tests
performed on the apparatus:


               PARAMETER                      UNCERTAINTY

 Conducted Disturbance, 0.15 to 30 MHz      3.52 dB

 Radiated Disturbance, 30 to 1000 MHz       4.94 dB



Uncertainty figures are valid to a confidence level of 95%.

5. EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST
   5.1.        DESCRIPTION OF EUT
EUT is an 800/900/1800/1900/2100 Multi-Band Radio Module that is manufactured by Sierra
Wireless, Inc.



   5.2.        WORST-CASE CONFIGURATION AND MODE

The worst-position was the EUT with highest emissions. To determine the worst-case, the EUT
was investigated for X and Z-Antenna Orientations. After the investigations, the worst-
orientation was turned out to be an X antenna orientation for all modulations and both bands.



   5.3.        SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE
PROCEDURE USED TO ESTABLISH TEST SIGNAL


This procedure assumes the Agilent 8960 Test Set has the following applications installed and
with valid license.


GPRS/EGPRS Mode

• Call Setup > Shift & Preset
