FCC/IC RF Test Report Report No. : FR240322-08A 2.7 Measurement Results Explanation Example For radiated band edges and spurious emission test : Per part 15.35(c), the EUT Bluetooth average emission level could be determined by the peak emission level applying duty cycle correction factor, to represent averaging over the whole pulse train. The average level is derived from the peak level corrected with “Duty cycle correction factor”. Average Emission Level(dBμV/m) = Peak Emission Level(dBμV/m) + Duty cycle correction factor(dB) Duty cycle correction factor(dB) = 20 * log(Duty cycle). Duty cycle = On time / 100 milliseconds On time = worst case dwell time * hopping number in 100 ms For example : bluetooth with worst case dwell time 2.9ms and 2 hops in 100 ms, then Duty cycle correction factor(dB) = 20 * log( (2.9 * 2) / 100 ) = -24.73 dB Following shows an average computation example with duty cycle correction factor = -24.73dB, and the peak emission level is 45.61 dBμV/m. Example : Average Emission Level(dBμV/m) = Peak Emission Level(dBμV/m) + duty cycle correction factor(dB) = 45.61 + ( -24.73 ) = 20.88 (dBμV/m) SPORTON INTERNATIONAL INC.

FCC/IC RF Test Report Report No. : FR240322-08A 3.2.3 Test Procedures 1. The testing follows the guidelines in Spurious Radiated Emissions of FCC Public Notice DA 00-705 Measurement Guidelines and the guidelines in ANSI C63.10-2009. 2. The EUT was placed on a turntable with 0.8 meter above ground. 3. The EUT was set 3 meters from the interference receiving antenna, which was mounted on the top of a variable height antenna tower. 4. For each suspected emission, the EUT was arranged to its worst case and then tune the Antenna tower (from 1 m to 4 m) and turntable (from 0 degree to 360 degrees) to find the maximum reading. A pre-amp and a high pass filter are used for the test in order to get better signal level to comply with the guidelines. 5. Set to the maximum power setting and enable the EUT transmit continuously. 6. Use the following spectrum analyzer settings: (1) Span shall wide enough to fully capture the emission being measured; (2) Set RBW=100 KHz for f < 1 GHz, RBW=1MHz for f>1GHz ; VBW  RBW; Sweep = auto; Detector function = peak; Trace = max hold for peak (3) For average measurement: use duty cycle correction factor method per 15.35(c). Duty cycle = On time/100 milliseconds On time = N1*L1+N2*L2+...+Nn-1*LNn-1+Nn*Ln Where N1 is number of type 1 pulses, L1 is length of type 1 pulses, etc. Average Emission Level = Peak Emission Level + 20*log(Duty cycle) 7. Corrected Reading: Antenna Factor + Cable Loss + Read Level - Preamp Factor = Level Note: The average levels were calculated from the peak level corrected with duty cycle correction factor (24.67 dB) derived from 20log (dwell time/100ms). .

FCC/IC RF Test Report Report No. : FR240322-08A Duty Cycle Correction Factor Consideration for AFH mode: Bluetooth normal hopping rate is 1600Hz and reduced to 800Hz in AFH mode; due to the reduced number of hopping frequencies, with the same packet configuration the dwell time in each channel frequency within 100msec period is longer in AFH mode than normal mode. In AFH mode, the minimum hopping frequencies are 20, to get the longest dwell time DH5 packet is observed; the period to have DH5 packet completing one hopping sequence is 2.92ms x 20 channels = 58.4ms There cannot be 2 complete hopping sequences within 100ms period, considering the random hopping behavior, maximum 2 hops can be possibly observed within the period. [100ms / 57.6ms ] = 2 hops Thus, the maximum possible ON time: 2.92ms x 2 = 5.84ms Worst case Duty Cycle Correction factor, which is derived from the maximum possible ON time, 20 x log(5.84ms/100ms) = -24.67 dB SPORTON INTERNATIONAL INC.
