1. MEASUREMENT AND PRESENTATION OF TEST DATA
The measurement and graphical data presented in this test report was generated automatically using
state-of-the-art technology creating an easy to read report structure. Numerical measurement data is
separated from supporting graphical data (plots) through hyperlinks. Numerical measurement data can
be reviewed without scrolling through numerous graphical pages to arrive at the next data matrix.

Plots have been relegated into the Appendix ‘Graphical Data’.

Testing and report automation was performed by MiTest. MiTest is an automated test system developed
by MiCOM Labs. MiTest is the first cloud based modular test system enabling end-to-end automation of
regulatory compliance testing for regulatory compliance.

                               FCC CFR 47 Part 15 Subpart C
                      Standard:                                                   Ambient Temp. (ºC): 20.0 - 24.5

                 Test Heading:                                                      Rel. Humidity (%): 32 - 45
                               Edge Emissions
          Standard Section(s): 15.205, 15.209                                       Pressure (mBars): 999 - 1001

      Reference Document(s): See Normative References


Test Procedure for Radiated Spurious and Band-Edge Emissions (Restricted Bands)
Radiated emissions for restricted bands above 1 GHz are measured in the anechoic chamber at a 3-meter distance on every azimuth
in both horizontal and vertical polarities. The emissions are recorded and maximized as a function of azimuth by rotation through
360° with a spectrum analyzer in peak hold mode. Depending on the frequency band spanned a notch filter and waveguide filter was
used to remove the fundamental frequency. The highest emissions relative to the limit are listed for each frequency spanned.
Measurements on any restricted band frequency or frequencies above 1 GHz are based on the use of measurement instrumentation
employing peak and average detectors. All measurements were performed using a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz.

Test configuration and setup for Radiated Spurious and Band-Edge Measurement were per the Radiated Test Set-up specified in this
document.

Limits for Restricted Bands
Peak emission: 74 dBuV/m
Average emission: 54 dBuV/m

Field Strength Calculation
The field strength is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Loss, and subtracting Amplifier Gain from the measured
reading. All factors are included in the reported data.
FS = R + AF + CORR - FO

where:
FS = Field Strength
R = Measured Spectrum analyzer Input Amplitude
AF = Antenna Factor
CORR = Correction Factor = CL – AG + NFL
CL = Cable Loss
AG = Amplifier Gain
FO = Distance Falloff Factor
NFL = Notch Filter Loss or Waveguide Loss

Example:
Given receiver input reading of 51.5 dBmV; Antenna Factor of 8.5 dB; Cable Loss of 1.3 dB; Falloff Factor of 0 dB, an Amplifier Gain
of 26 dB and Notch Filter Loss of 1 dB. The Field Strength (FS) of the measured emission is:

FS = 51.5 + 8.5 + 1.3 - 26.0 +1 = 36.3 dBmV/m

Conversion between dBmV/m (or dBmV) and mV/m (or mV) are as follows:
Level (dBmV/m) = 20 * Log (level (mV/m))

40 dBmV/m = 100 mV/m
48 dBmV/m = 250 mV/m
Restricted Bands of Operation (15.205)
(a) Except as shown in paragraph (d) of this section, only spurious emissions are permitted in any of the frequency bands listed
below:

2.1.3. Digital Emissions (0.03 - 1 GHz)

FCC, Part 15 Subpart C §15.205/ §15.209
Industry Canada RSS-Gen §8.9

Test Procedure
Testing 30M-1 GHz was performed in a 3-meter anechoic chamber using a CISPR compliant receiver.
Preliminary radiated emissions were measured on every azimuth and with the receiving antenna in both
horizontal and vertical polarizations. To further maximize emissions the receive antenna was varied
between 1 and 4 meters. The emissions are recorded with receiver in peak hold mode. Emissions
closest to the limits are measured in the quasi-peak mode with the tuned receiver using a bandwidth of
120 kHz. Only the highest emissions relative to the limit are listed. The anechoic chamber test set-up is
identified in Section 6 Test Set-Up Photographs.
The EUT had two methods of powering on ac/dc converter and Power over Ethernet (POE). Both modes
were tested for emissions below 1GHz.

Field Strength Calculation
The field strength is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Loss, and subtracting
Amplifier Gain from the measured reading. In this test facility, the Antenna Factor, Cable Loss,
and Amplifier Gains are loaded into the Rohde & Schwarz Receiver and the corrected field
strength can be read directly on the receiver.

                           FS = R + AF + CORR
    where:
                           FS = Field Strength
                           R = Measured Receiver Input Amplitude
                           AF = Antenna Factor
                           CORR = Correction Factor = CL – AG + NFL
                           CL = Cable Loss
                           AG = Amplifier Gain

             For example:
             Given a Receiver input reading of 51.5dBV; Antenna Factor of 8.5dB; Cable
             Loss of 1.3dB; Falloff Factor of 0dB, an Amplifier Gain of 26dB and Notch Filter
             Loss of 1dB. The Field Strength of the measured emission is:

                               FS = 51.5 + 8.5 + 1.3 - 26.0 +1 = 36.3dBV/m

             Conversion between dBV/m (or dBV) and V/m (or V) are done as:

                               Level (dBV/m) = 20 * Log (level (V/m))

                                          40 dBV/m = 100V/m
                                          48 dBV/m = 250V/m
