A pre-scan of the EUT emissions profile was made while varying the antenna-to-EUT azimuth and antenna-to-EUT polarisation using a peak detector; measurements were taken at a 3m distance. Using the pre-scan list of the highest emissions detected, their bearing and associated antenna polarisation, the EUT was then formally measured using a Quasi-Peak, Peak, Average detector as appropriate. The readings were maximised by adjusting the antenna height, polarisation and turntable azimuth, in accordance with the specification. 2.1.5 Environmental Conditions Ambient Temperature 20.0 °C Relative Humidity 40.0 % 2.1.6 Test Results Results for Configuration and Mode: Idle. Performance assessment of the EUT made during this test: Pass. Detailed results are shown below. Highest frequency generated or used within the EUT: 1626.5 MHz Which necessitates an upper frequency test limit of: 9 GHz COMMERCIAL-IN-CONFIDENCE Page 7 of 11
