Note:
1.   The EUT is an Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 with a built-in WLAN and Bluetooth V4.0 V3.0, V2.1+EDR
     transceiver, this report for Bluetooth V4.0.
2.   These tests were conducted on a sample for the purpose of demonstrating compliance of Bluetooth transmitter
     with Part 15 Subpart C Paragraph 15.247 for spread spectrum devices.
3.   Regarding to the operation frequency, the lowest, middle and highest frequency are selected to perform the test.
4.   This is to request a Class II permissive change for FCC ID: PD93165NG (originally granted on 01/23/2015) and
     PD93165NGU (originally granted on 01/26/2015).
     The major change filed under this application is:
     Change #1: This change is to request approval for a dipole type antenna Wieson Technologies part number
                   GY121HT0321-003-H. This dipole antenna will be restricted to mobile category or desktop host
                   systems.

3.4.   Test Procedure
       The EUT was setup according to ANSI C63.10, 2009 and tested according to FHSS test procedure of
       FCC Public Notice DA 00-705 for compliance to FCC 47CFR 15.247 requirements.
       Measuring the frequency range below 1GHz, the EUT is placed on a turn table which is 0.8 meter
       above ground,when measuring the frequency range above 1GHz, the EUT is placed on a turn
       table which is 0.8 meter above ground.
       The turn table is rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the maximum emission level.
       The EUT was positioned such that the distance from antenna to the EUT was 3 meters.
       The antenna is scanned from 1 meter to 4 meters to find out the maximum emission level. This is
       repeated for both horizontal and vertical polarization of the antenna. In order to find the maximum
       emission, all of the interface cables were manipulated according to ANSI C63.10, 2009on radiated
       measurement.
       The resolution bandwidth below 30MHz setting on the field strength meter is 9kHz and
       30MHz~1GHz is 120kHz and above 1GHz is 1MHz.
       Radiated emission measurements below 30MHz are made using Loop Antenna and 30MHz~1GHz are
       made using broadband Bilog antenna and above 1GHz are made using Horn Antennas.
       The measurement is divided into the Preliminary Measurement and the Final Measurement.
       The suspected frequencies are searched for in Preliminary Measurement with the measurement
       antenna kept pointed at the source of the emission both in azimuth and elevation, with the polarization
       of the antenna oriented for maximum response. The antenna is pointed at an angle towards the source
       of the emission, and the EUT is rotated in both height and polarization to maximize the measured
       emission. The emission is kept within the illumination area of the 3 dB bandwidth of the antenna.
       The worst radiated emission is measured on the Final Measurement.
       The measurement frequency range form 9kHz - 10th Harmonic of fundamental was investigated.

        1.    All Readings below 1GHz are Quasi-Peak, above 1GHz are performed with peak and/or average
              measurements as necessary.

        3.    Average measurements: RBW = 1MHz, VBW = 10 Hz, Sweep: Auto.
        4.    Measurement Level = Reading Level + Correct Factor.
        5.    Correct Factor = Antenna factor + Cable loss –Amplifier gain.

4.3.   Limit
       In any 100 kHz bandwidth outside the frequency band in which the spread spectrum intentional
       radiator is operating, the radio frequency power that is produced by the intentional radiator shall be at
       least 20 dB below that in the 100 kHz bandwidth within the band that contains the highest level of the
       desired power, based on either an RF conducted or a radiated measurement. Attenuation below the
       general limits specified in Section 15.209(a) is not required. In addition, radiated emissions which fall
       in the restricted bands, as defined in Section 15.205(a), must also comply with the radiated emission
       limits specified in Section 15.209(a) (see Section 15.205(c)).


4.4.   Test Procedure
       Measuring the frequency range below 1GHz, the EUT is placed on a turn table which is 0.8 meter
       above ground,when measuring the frequency range above 1GHz, the EUT is placed on a turn
       table which is 0.8 meter above ground.
       The turn table is rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the maximum emission level.
       The EUT was positioned such that the distance from antenna to the EUT was 3 meters.
       The antenna can move up and down between 1 meter and 4 meters to find out the maximum
       emission level.
       Both horizontal and vertical polarization of the antenna are set on measurement. In order to find the
       maximum emission, all of the interface cables must be manipulated according to ANSI C63.10: 2009
       on radiated measurement.
       The bandwidth below 1GHz setting on the field strength meter is 120 kHz, above 1GHz are 1 MHz.
       The EUT was setup to ANSI C63.10: 2009; tested to FHSS test procedure of FCC Public Notice DA
       00-705 for compliance to FCC 47CFR 15.247 requirements.


4.5.   Uncertainty
       ± 3.9 dB above 1GHz
       ± 3.8 dB below 1GHz
