3    Description of Equipment under Test
The SL9090 modem, referred to as “EUT” hereafter, is a multi-band wireless modem
operating on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS networks. In the US and Canada, only
cellular and PCS bands are used for GSM/GPRS/UMTS operation, so this test report only
contains data for these two bands (850MHz and 1900MHz).

   4      RF Power Output
          FCC 2.1046

   4.1 Test Procedure
   The transmitter output was connected to a Rohde & Schwarz CMU200 Test Set and
   configured to operate at maximum power in a call. The power was measured using the
   spectrum analyzer at three equally spaced operating frequencies for each band. The
   RBW was set to 300 KHz for the GSM and EDGE measurements and 5MHz for the
   WCDMA measurements. The spectrum analyzer was set to measure the RF output power
   with the cable and coupler losses accounted for.

4.4.2 Test 2: RF Output Power Results for HSDPA Rel6
The EUT supports Category 8 FDD HS-DSCH physical layer. As stated in the 3GPP
TS25.306 V7.3.0 Table 5.1a, the details of Category 8 are as follows:
      - Maximum of 10 E-DSCH received codes
      - Minimum 1 inter-TTI interval
      - Maximum 14411bits in an E-DSCH transport block received within an E-
         DSCH TTI
      - Total number of soft channel bits is 134400
      - Support of QPSK and 16QAM

A detailed list of all settings used is included 4.5.

The following Sub-Tests were completed according to the test requirements outlined in
section 5.2A of the 3GPP TS34.121-1 V7.5.0 specification. All TX RMS and Peak power
requirements for Power Class 3 were met according to table 5.2AA.5 and achieved
through the outlined test procedure in section 5.2AA.4.2. All UE channels and power
ratio’s are set according to table C10.1.4 in the 3GPP TS34.121-1 V7.5.0 specification. A
summary of these settings is illustrated below:

          4.4.3 Test 3: RF Output Power Results for HSPA (HSDPA & HSUPA) Rel6
          The EUT supports Category 5 FDD E-DCH physical layer. As stated in the 3GPP
          TS25.306 V7.3.0 Table 5.1g, the details of Category 5 are as follows:
                - Maximum of 2 E-DCH transmitted codes
                - Minimum spreading factor of SF2
                - Support for only 10 ms TTI E-DCH
                - Maximum 20000 bits in an E-DCH transport block within a 10 ms E-DCH TTI
                - Data rate of 2 Mbps
                - Support of QPSK only

          A detailed list of all settings used is included in section 4.5.

          The following five Sub-Tests were completed according to the test requirements outlined
          in section 5.2B of the 3GPP TS34.121-1 V7.5.0 specification. All TX RMS and Peak
          power requirements were met according to table 5.2B.5 and achieved through the
          outlined test procedure in section 5.2B.4.2. All UE channels and power ratio’s are set
          according to table C11.1.3 in the 3GPP TS34.121-1 V7.5.0 specification. A summary of
          these settings is illustrated below:

   5      Occupied Bandwidth
          FCC 2.1049

   5.1 Test Procedure
   The transmitter output was connected to a spectrum analyzer through a calibrated coaxial
   cable and a coupler. The occupied bandwidth (defined as the 99% Power Bandwidth) was
   measured with the spectrum analyzer at low, middle, and high frequencies in each band.
   The –26dB bandwidth was also measured and recorded.

   5.3 Test Results
   The performance of the GSM 850 MHz Cellular band is shown in plots 5.3.1 to 5.3.6.
   Performance of the GSM 1900 MHz PCS band is shown in plots 5.3.7 to 5.3.12.
   Performance of the UMTS 850 Cellular band is shown in plots 5.3.13 to 5.3.15.
   Performance of the UMTS 1900 PCS band is shown in plots 5.3.16 to 5.3.18.

   The following GSM test results are based on single slot, and use CS1 for GMSK and
   MCS9 for 8PSK mode. For WCDMA testing, RMC 12.2kps has been used.
