2.4 Measurement Results Explanation Example
     For all conducted test items:


     The offset level is set in the spectrum analyzer to compensate the RF cable loss and attenuator factor
     between EUT conducted output port and spectrum analyzer. With the offset compensation, the
     spectrum analyzer reading level is exactly the EUT RF output level.


     The spectrum analyzer offset is derived from RF cable loss and attenuator factor.
     Offset = RF cable loss + attenuator factor.
     Following shows an offset computation example with cable loss 4.2 dB and 10dB attenuator.


     Example :
     Offset(dB) = RF cable loss(dB) + attenuator factor(dB).
                 = 4.2 + 10 = 14.2 (dB)

3.4 Peak-to-Average Ratio
3.4.1   Description of the PAR Measurement
        Power Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) curves provide a means for
        characterizing the power peaks of a digitally modulated signal on a statistical basis. A CCDF curve
        depicts the probability of the peak signal amplitude exceeding the average power level. Most
        contemporary measurement instrumentation include the capability to produce CCDF curves for an
        input signal provided that the instrument’s resolution bandwidth can be set wide enough to
        accommodate the entire input signal bandwidth. In measuring transmissions in this band using an
        average power technique, the peak-to-average ratio (PAR) of the transmission may not exceed 13
        dB.

3.4.2   Test Procedures
        1. The testing follows FCC KDB 971168 v03r01 Section 5.7.1.
        2. The EUT was connected to spectrum and system simulator via a power divider.
        3. Set the CCDF (Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function) option in spectrum analyzer.
        4. The highest RF powers were measured and recorded the maximum PAPR level associated with
              a probability of 0.1 %.
        5. Record the deviation as Peak to Average Ratio.

             FCC RF Test Report                                                      Report No. : FG7D0540B


3.5 Occupied Bandwidth
3.5.1   Description of Occupied Bandwidth Measurement
        The occupied bandwidth is the width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the
        upper frequency limits, the mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage 0.5% of
        the total mean transmitted power.


        The 26 dB emission bandwidth is defined as the frequency range between two points, one above and
        one below the carrier frequency, at which the spectral density of the emission is attenuated 26 dB
        below the maximum in-band spectral density of the modulated signal. Spectral density (power per unit
        bandwidth) is to be measured with a detector of resolution bandwidth equal to approximately 1.0% of
        the emission bandwidth.



3.5.2   Test Procedures
        1.     The testing follows FCC KDB 971168 v03r01 Section 4.2.
        2.     The EUT was connected to spectrum analyzer and system simulator via a power divider.
        3.     The spectrum analyzer center frequency is set to the nominal EUT channel center frequency.
               The span range for the spectrum analyzer shall be between two and five times the anticipated
               OBW.
        4.     The nominal resolution bandwidth (RBW) shall be in the range of 1 to 5 % of the anticipated
               OBW, and the VBW shall be at least 3 times the RBW.
        5.     Set the detection mode to peak, and the trace mode to max hold.
        6.     Determine the reference value: Set the EUT to transmit a modulated signal. Allow the trace to
               stabilize. Set the spectrum analyzer marker to the highest level of the displayed trace.
               (this is the reference value)
        7.     Determine the “-26 dB down amplitude” as equal to (Reference Value – X).
        8.     Place two markers, one at the lowest and the other at the highest frequency of the envelope of
               the spectral display such that each marker is at or slightly below the “–X dB down amplitude”
               determined in step 6. If a marker is below this “-X dB down amplitude” value it shall be placed
               as close as possible to this value. The OBW is the positive frequency difference between the
               two markers.
        9.     Use the 99 % power bandwidth function of the spectrum analyzer and report the measured
               bandwidth.

3.6 Conducted Band Edge
3.6.1   Description of Conducted Band Edge Measurement
        22.917(a)
        For operations in the 824 – 849 MHz band, the FCC limit is 43 + 10log10(P[Watts]) dB below the
        transmitter power P(Watts) in a 100kHz bandwidth. However, in the 1MHz bands immediately outside
        and adjacent to the licensee's frequency block, a resolution bandwidth of at least one percent of the
        emission bandwidth of the fundamental emission of the transmitter may be employed.


        24.238 (a)
        For operations in the 1850-1910 and 1930-1990 MHz band, the FCC limit is 43 + 10log10(P[Watts]) dB
        below the transmitter power P(Watts) in a 1MHz bandwidth. However, in the 1 MHz bands
        immediately outside and adjacent to the frequency block a resolution bandwidth of at least one
        percent of the emission bandwidth of the fundamental emission of the transmitter may be employed.


        27.53 (c)
        For operations in the 776-788 MHz band, the FCC limit is 43 + 10log10(P[Watts]) dB below the
        transmitter power P(Watts) in a 100 kHz bandwidth. However, in the 100 kHz bands immediately
        outside and adjacent to the frequency block, a resolution bandwidth of at least 30 kHz may be
        employed. In addition, the power of any unwanted emissions in any 6.25 kHz bandwidth for all

        transmitter power P(Watts) in a 100 kHz bandwidth. However, in the 100 kilohertz bands immediately
        outside and adjacent to a licensee's frequency block, a resolution bandwidth of at least 30 kHz may
        be employed.


        27.53 (h)
        For operations in the 1710 – 1755 MHz band, the FCC limit is 43 + 10log10(P[Watts]) dB below the
        transmitter power P(Watts) in a 1 MHz bandwidth. However, in the 1MHz bands immediately outside
        and adjacent to the licensee's frequency block, a resolution bandwidth of at least one percent of the
