1.6 Notes Relating To The Assessment

With regard to this assessment, the following points should be noted:

The results contained in this report relate only to the items tested and were obtained in the period
between the date of initial receipt of samples and the date of issue of the report.

The apparatus was set up and exercised using the configurations, modes of operation and
arrangements defined in this report only.

Particular operating modes, apparatus monitoring methods and performance criteria required by
the standards tested to have been performed except where identified in Section 1.7 of this test
report (Deviations from Test Standards).

For emissions testing, throughout this test report, “Pass” indicates that the results for the sample
as tested were below the specified limit (refer also to Section 2, Measurement Uncertainty).

Where relevant, the apparatus was only assessed using the monitoring methods and
susceptibility criteria defined in this report.

All testing with the exception of testing at the Open Area Test Site was performed under the
following environmental conditions:

Temperature : 17 to 23 C
Humidity : 45 to 75 %
Barometric Pressure : 86 to 106 kPa

All dates used in this report are in the format dd/mm/yy.

This assessment has been performed in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025.

1.7 Deviations from Test Standards

There were no deviations from the standards tested to.

Section 2: Measurement Uncertainty

2.1 Application of Measurement Uncertainty

The following table contains the measurement uncertainties for measurements

The following procedure is used when determining the result of a measurement :

(i) If specification limits are not exceeded by the measured result, extended by the positive
component of the expanded uncertainty interval at a confidence level of 95%, then a pass
result is recorded.

(ii) Where a specification limit is exceeded by the result even when the result is decreased by
the negative component of the expanded uncertainty interval, a fail result is recorded.

(iii) Where measured result is below a limit, but by a margin less than the positive
measurement uncertainty component, it is not possible to record a pass based on a 95%
confidence level. However, the result indicates that a pass result is more probable than a
fail result.

(iv) Where a measured result is above a limit, but by a margin less than the negative
measurement uncertainty component, it is not possible to record a fail based on a 95%
confidence level. However the result indicates that a fail is more probable than a pass.

Notes:

1 Any testing performed below 30 MHz was performed using a magnetic loop antenna in
accordance with ANSI C63.10: section 4.5, Table 1, for emissions below 30MHz the
cable losses are assumed to be negligible.
2 In accordance with 15.35(b), above 1 GHz, emissions measured using a peak detector
shall not exceed a level 20 dB above the average limit.
3 Testing was performed with the EUT orientated in three orthogonal planes and the
maximum emissions level recorded. In addition, the EUT antenna was varied within its
range of motion in order to maximise emissions.
4 For Frequencies below 1 GHz, RBW= 120 kHz, testing was performed with CISPR16
compliant test receiver with QP detector. Above 1 GHz tests were performed using a
spectrum analyser using the following settings:

Peak RBW=VBW= 1MHz
Average RBW=VBW= 1MHz

The upper and lower frequency of the measurement range was decided according to 47 CFR 15
Clause 15.33(a) and 15.33(a)(1).

Appendix C: Additional Test and Sample Details

This appendix contains details of:

1. The samples submitted for testing.
2. Details of EUT operating mode(s)
3. Details of EUT configuration(s) (see below).
4. EUT arrangement (see below).

Throughout testing, the following numbering system is used to identify the sample and it's
modification state:

Sample No: Sxx Mod w

where:

xx = sample number eg. S01
w = modification number eg. Mod 2

The following terminology is used throughout the test report:

Support Equipment (SE) is any additional equipment required to exercise the EUT in the
applicable operating mode. Where relevant SE is divided into two categories:

SE in test environment: The SE is positioned in the test environment and is not isolated from the
EUT (e.g. on the table top during REFE testing).

SE isolated from the EUT: The SE is isolated via filtering from the EUT. (e.g. equipment placed
externally to the ALSR during REFE testing).

EUT configuration refers to the internal set-up of the EUT. It may include for example:

Positioning of cards in a chassis.
Setting of any internal switches.
Circuit board jumper settings.
Alternative internal power supplies.

Where no change in EUT configuration is possible, the configuration is described as “single
possible configuration”.

EUT arrangement refers to the termination of EUT ports / connection of support equipment, and
where relevant, the relative positioning of samples (EUT and SE) in the test environment.

For further details of the test procedures and general test set ups used during testing please refer
to the related document "EMC Test Methods - An Overview", which can be supplied by TRaC
Telecoms & Radio upon request.

Appendix E: Calculation of the duty cycle correction factor

Using a spectrum analyser in zero span mode, centred on the fundamental carrier frequency with
a RBW of 1MHz and a video Bandwidth of 1MHz the sweep time was set accordingly to capture
the pulse train. The transmit pulsewidths and period was measured. A plots of the pulse train is
contained in Appendix B of this test report.

If the pulse train was less than 100 ms, including blanking intervals, the duty cycle was calculated
by averaging the sum of the pulsewidths over one complete pulse train. However if the pulse train
exceeds 100ms then the duty cycle was calculated by averaging the sum of the pulsewidths over
the 100ms width with the highest average value. (The duty cycle is the value of the sum of the
pulse widths in one period (or 100ms), divided by the length of the period (or 100ms). The duty
cycle correction factor was then expressed in dB and the peak emissions adjusted accordingly to
give an average value of the emission.

Correction factor dB = 20 x (Log10 Calculated Duty Cycle)

Therefore the calculated duty cycle was determined:

The pulse train period was greater than >100ms and in as shown from the plots in contained in
appendix B of this test report.

Duty cycle = the sum of the highest average value pulsewidths over 100ms
100ms

e.g

7.459ms
  0.07459
100ms

0.07459 or 7.459%

Correction factor (dB) = 20 x (Log10 0.07459) = -22.54dB
