3     System Test Configuration

3.1      Justification

To complete the test configuration required by the FCC, the receiver was connected to an external
antenna, which receives a signal from a signal generator output. With the antenna installed, the receiver
indicator was used to determine optimal reception. The EUT’s intermediate frequencies (IF), local
oscillators (LO), crystal oscillators and harmonics of each were investigated. Conducted emissions were
measured from the AC port of the charger. All modes were investigated and tested, including standby
mode and scanning mode. The final radiated data was taken with the EUT locked to a set frequency.

3.2      Exercising the EUT

The DJ-V17T is a receiver designed to function at the following frequency range: 130–173.995 MHz.
The following frequencies were tested: 130, 152, and 173.995 MHz. In order to activate the receiver
circuitry, a signal was transmitted from a signal generator. This allowed the EUT to function in its typical
state throughout the course of all testing.

3.3      Test System Details

The test sample was received on February 6, 2006. The FCC Identifiers for all equipment, plus
descriptions of all cables used in the tested system are:

4     AC Conducted Emissions - FCC Rules and Regulations Part 15 §15.107(b): Conducted Limits

4.1    Site and Test Description

The power line conducted emissions measurements were performed in a Series 81 type shielded enclosure
manufactured by Rayproof. The EUT was assembled on a wooden table 80 centimeters high. Power was
fed to the EUT through a 50-ohm/50 microhenry Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN). The EUT
LISN was fed power through an A.C. filter box on the outside of the shielded enclosure. The filter box and
EUT LISN housing are bonded to the ground plane of the shielded enclosure. A second LISN, the
peripheral LISN, provides isolation for the EUT test peripherals. This peripheral LISN was also fed A.C.
power. A metal power outlet box, which is bonded to the ground plane and electrically connected to the
peripheral LISN, powers the EUT host peripherals.

The spectrum analyzer was connected to the A.C. line through an isolation transformer. The 50-ohm output
of the EUT LISN was connected to the spectrum analyzer input through a Solar 100 kHz high-pass filter.
The filter is used to prevent overload of the spectrum analyzer from noise below 100 kHz. Conducted
emission levels were measured on each current-carrying line with the spectrum analyzer operating in the
CISPR quasi-peak mode (or peak mode if applicable).

The analyzer's 6 dB bandwidth was set to 9 kHz. Video filter less than 10 times the resolution bandwidth is
not used. Average measurements are performed in linear mode using a 10 kHz resolution bandwidth, a 1
Hz video bandwidth, and by increasing the sweep time in order to obtain a calibrated measurement. The
emission spectrum was scanned from 150 kHz to 30 MHz. The highest emission amplitudes relative to the
appropriate limits were measured and have been recorded.

Conducted measurements at telecommunications ports (if applicable) were performed per EN55022: 1998.
The limits for Class A and Class B are contained therein.

5 Radiated Emissions – FCC Rules and Regulations Part 15 §15.109(a): Radiated Emissions
 Limits; RSS-215 Section 7 - Receiver Spurious Emissions

5.1    Test Methodology for Radiated Emissions Measurements

 Before final measurements of radiated emissions were made on the open-field three/ten meter range, the
 EUT was scanned indoors at one meter and three meter distances, in order to determine its emissions
 spectrum signature. The physical arrangement of the test system and associated cabling was varied in
 order to determine the effect on the EUT's emissions in amplitude, direction, and frequency. This process
 was repeated during final radiated emissions measurements on the open-field range, at each frequency, in
 order to ensure that maximum emission amplitudes were attained.

 Final radiated emissions measurements were made on the three meter, open-field test site. The EUT was
 placed on a nonconductive turntable approximately 0.8 meters above the ground plane. The spectrum
 was examined from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz using a spectrum analyzer, a quasi-peak adapter, and EMCO
 log periodic and biconical antenna. In order to gain sensitivity, a preamplifier was connected in series
 between the antenna and the input of the spectrum analyzer.

 At each frequency, the EUT was rotated 360 degrees, and the antenna was raised and lowered from one
 to four meters in order to determine the maximum emission levels. Measurements were taken using both
 horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations. The spectrum analyzer's 6 dB bandwidth was set to 120
 kHz, and the analyzer was operated in the CISPR quasi-peak detection mode. No video filter less than 10
 times the resolution bandwidth was used. The second harmonic of the highest LO was tested. The
 highest emission amplitudes relative to the appropriate limit were measured and recorded in this report.

 Note: Rhein Tech Laboratories, Inc. has implemented procedures to minimize errors that occur from test instruments,
 calibration, procedures, and test setups. Test instrument and calibration errors are documented from the manufacturer
 or calibration lab. Other errors have been defined and calculated within the Rhein Tech Quality Manual, Section 6.1.
 Rhein Tech implements the following procedures to minimize errors that may occur: yearly as well as daily calibration
 methods, technician training, and emphasis to employees on avoiding error.

6   FCC Rules and Regulations Part 15 §15.121(b) - 38 dB Rejection Test

A signal generator was connected to the receiver under test, and the output of the receiver was connected
to an audio analyzer.

An FM signal was applied to the receiver antenna input with a 1 kHz tone modulated at 8 kHz deviation,
and adjusted with the audio analyzer to produce a 12 dB SINAD. This was done across the receiver
bands to determine a reference level. The reference level used was that with the highest sensitivity in all
of the bands.

The output of the signal generator was then adjusted to a level 40 dB above the reference level established
and set to a low, medium, and high frequency in both the mobile and base cellular bands: the mobile band
being 824.04 MHz - 848.97 MHz, and the base band being 869.04 MHz - 893. 97 MHz. The squelch of the
receiver was then set to a minimum threshold level, and scanning begun from the lowest to the highest
channel. Whenever the receiver stopped and “un-squelched”, that frequency was noted as a response.
After all the frequencies of responses were noted, the signal generator was set to measure the sensitivity at
each of these response frequencies. This measurement was the reference sensitivity for the particular
received frequency measured. The audio analyzer measurement was used to measure the 12 dB SINAD,
which is the spurious value. The difference between the reference sensitivity and the spurious value is the
rejection ratio and must be at least 38 dB.

                                                      EUT




Frequencies used on the signal generator were 824.04, 836.50, and 848.97 MHz for the mobile band,
and 869.04, 881.50, and 893.97 MHz for the base band.

The DJ-V17T unit reference level used was –70 dBm from the signal generator. The DJ-V17T unit was
scanned on all specified operating frequency ranges (per manufacturer’s specifications.). Signals that
were noted as responses were checked with the signal generator off. If they were still present, they
were determined to be ambient signals and removed from the response list.

No signals were detected for the 38 dB rejection test requirements.
