4.2. Test and Uncertainty Procedure
    Conducted and radiated emission measurements were conducted in accordance with American
    National Standards Institute ANSI C63.4, listed in the Normative References section of this report.

    Measurement uncertainty figures are calculated in accordance with ETSI TR 100 028 Parts 1 and 2.

    Measurement uncertainties stated are based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage
    factor k = 2, providing a level of confidence of approximately 95 % in accordance with UKAS
    document M 3003 listed in the Normative References section of this report.

5.2. Scope Of Test Program
Silver Spring Networks MicroAP 5

The scope of the test program was to test the Silver Spring Networks MicroAP 5, Plug in Radio Device
configurations in the frequency ranges 920 – 928.0 MHz; for compliance against the following
specification:

FCC CFR 47 Part 15 Subpart C 15.247 (FHSS) & Industry Canada RSS-247
Radio Frequency Devices; Subpart C – Intentional Radiators and Digital Transmission Systems (DTSs),
Frequency Hopping Systems (FHSs) and Licence Exempt Local Area Network (LE-LAN) Devices


Product Description
The following product description was provided by the manufacturer.

The Silver Spring Networks MicroAP 5 is a unique implementation of cellular connectivity for
meters. Unlike any other point-to-point cellular device, the Silver Spring MicroAP 5
Communications Module supports both cellular/mobile and RF mesh communications
simultaneously. Designed to reside in our partner's meters or SocketAP, MicroAP leverages
cellular communications for backhaul connectivity and can use the RF mesh communications to
connect with other nearby Silver Spring devices using Silver Spring's innovative Micromesh
technology.


Co-Location Testing
Co-location measurements were performed on the cellular frequency bands together with the 915 MHz
and 2.4 GHz DSSS and FHSS technologies. Test results are available and will be kept on file by the
laboratory.

7. TEST EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION(S)
7.1. Conducted
Conducted RF Emission Test Set-up(s)
The following tests were performed using the conducted test set-up shown in the diagram below.
1. 20 dB & 99% Bandwidth
2. Peak Output Power
3. Number of channels, channel spacing, dwell time & channel occupancy.
4. Conducted Low Band-Edge Emission - Peak
5. Conducted Spurious Emissions - Peak
6. Conducted High Band-Edge Emission - Peak




  A full system calibration was performed on the test station and any resulting system losses (or gains)
                 were taken into account in the production of all final measurement data.

7.2. Radiated Emissions
The following tests were performed using the conducted test set-up shown in the diagram below.
   1. Spurious Emissions
   2. Restricted Band-Edge Emissions
   3. Radiated Digital Emissions




  A full system calibration was performed on the test station and any resulting system losses (or gains)
                 were taken into account in the production of all final measurement data.

8. 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’.

Test 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 conducted RF testing.
