COMMERCIAL-IN-CONFIDENCE 2.1 RADIATED EMISSIONS 2.1.1 Specification Reference FCC CFR 47 Part 15B, Clause 15.109 ICES-003, Clause 6.2 2.1.2 Equipment Under Test and Modification State QLocate S/N: 142105180 - Modification State 0 2.1.3 Date of Test 12 October 2014 2.1.4 Test Equipment Used The major items of test equipment used for the above tests are identified in Section 3.1. 2.1.5 Test Procedure A test environment and testing arrangement meeting the specification of ANSI C63.4 was used during all testing. The Equipment Under Test (EUT) was set upon a non-conducting platform at an elevation of 80 cm above a horizontal reference ground plane. Exploratory radiated emissions measurements were made by azimuth emissions searches over a range of 0° and 360°. These exploratory radiated emissions measurements were made using a peak detector over a frequency range of 30 MHz to 9 GHz, with the measuring antenna in both vertical and horizontal polarizations. At least six of the greatest peak emissions, frequency positions were selected from the exploratory radiated emissions measurements for further evaluation as final measuring points. To ascertain the azimuth and measuring antenna polarization that yields the highest peak emission level, each final measurement frequency was investigated by continuous azimuth emissions searching with the measuring antenna in both vertical and horizontal polarizations. For each final measurement frequency, the respective peak emission azimuth and measuring antenna polarization was used during a measuring antenna elevation search from 1 m to 4 m. Each final measurement frequency was then measured with the EUT azimuth, measuring antenna height and polarization that yielded the greatest peak emission level. Final measurement points over the frequency range of 30 MHz to 1 GHz were measured using a quasi-peak detector. Final measurement points over the frequency range of 1 GHz and 9 GHz were measured using peak and average methods. Peak measurements were made using a peak detector with 1 MHz resolution and video bandwidths. Average measurements were made using a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz and a video bandwidth of greater than 10 Hz. All final measurements were assessed against the Class B emission limits in Clause 15.109 of FCC CFR 47 FCC Part 15 and ICES-003 Clause 6.2.
