1.0 General Description

1.1 Product Description

The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is a 2.4GHz Transceiver (Controller Unit)
for a RC helicopter operating at 2412 – 2469MHz with 1 MHz channel
spacing. The EUT is powered by 8 X 1.5V AA batteries. After switch on the
EUT and paired with helicopter, the helicopter can be controlled to fly forward,
backward, turning left and right direction by the EUT. To charge the internal
battery in the helicopter, plug the charging connector into the charging jack on
the helicopter for starting the charge process.

The Model: 6018687, 6020182 and 6021264 are the same as the Model:
44438TX in hardware aspect. The difference is in model number only.

Antenna Type : Internal, Integral

For electronic filing, the brief circuit description is saved with filename: descri.pdf.

1.2 Related Submittal(s) Grants

The Certification procedure of transceiver for this transmitter (with FCC ID:
PQN44438RX2G4) is being processed as the same time of this application.

1.3 Test Methodology

Radiated emission measurement was performed according to the procedures in
ANSI C63.4 (2009). All radiated measurements were performed in an Open
Area Test Site. Preliminary scans were performed in the Open Area Test Site
only to determine worst case modes. All radiated tests were performed at an
antenna to EUT distance of 3 meters, unless stated otherwise in the
“Justification Section” of this Application.

1.4 Test Facility

The open area test site and conducted measurement facility used to collect the
radiated data is located at Garment Centre, 576 Castle Peak Road, Kowloon,
Hong Kong. This test facility and site measurement data have been placed on
file with the FCC.

2.0 System Test Configuration

2.1 Justification

The system was configured for testing in a typical fashion (as a customer would
normally use it), and in the confines as outlined in ANSI C63.4 (2009).

The device was powered by 8 X 1.5V AA Batteries.

For maximizing emissions, the EUT was rotated through 360°, the antenna
height was varied from 1 meter to 4 meters above the ground plane, and the
antenna polarization was changed. This step by step procedure for maximizing
emissions led to the data reported in Exhibit 3.0.

The unit was operated standalone and placed in the center of the turntable.

The equipment under test (EUT) was configured for testing in a typical fashion
(as a customer would normally use it). The EUT was mounted to a plastic stand
if necessary and placed on the wooden turntable, which enabled the engineer to
maximize emissions through its placement in the three orthogonal axes.

2.2 EUT Exercising Software

There was no special software to exercise the device. Once the unit is powered
up, it transmits the RF signal continuously.

2.3 Special Accessories

There are no special accessories necessary for compliance of this product.

2.4 Equipment Modification

Any modifications installed previous to testing by Spin Master Toys Far East Ltd.
will be incorporated in each production model sold/leased in the United States.

No modifications were installed by Intertek Testing Services Hong Kong Ltd.

2.5 Measurement Uncertainty

When determining of the test conclusion, the Measurement Uncertainty of test
has been considered.

3.0 Emission Results

Data is included of the worst case configuration (the configuration which resulted
in the highest emission levels). A sample calculation, configuration photographs
and data tables of the emissions are included.

3.1 Field Strength Calculation

The field strength is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Factor,
and subtracting the Amplifier Gain (if any), Average Factor (optional) from the
measured reading. The basic equation with a sample calculation is as follows:
FS = RA + AF + CF - AG - AV
where FS = Field Strength in dBµV/m
RA = Receiver Amplitude (including preamplifier) in dBµV
CF = Cable Attenuation Factor in dB
AF = Antenna Factor in dB
AG = Amplifier Gain in dB
AV = Average Factor in dB

In the following table(s), the reading shown on the data table reflects the preamplifier
gain. An example for the calculations in the following table is as follows:
FS = RR + LF
where FS = Field Strength in dBµV/m
RR = RA - AG - AV in dBµV
LF = CF + AF in dB

Assume a receiver reading of 52.0 dBµV is obtained. The antenna factor of
7.4 dB and cable factor of 1.6 dB are added. The amplifier gain of 29 dB and
average factor of 5 dB are subtracted, giving a field strength of 27 dBµV/m.
This value in dBµV/m was converted to its corresponding level in µV/m.

RA = 52.0 dBµV/m
AF = 7.4 dB RR = 18.0 dBµV
CF = 1.6 dB LF = 9.0 dB
AG = 29.0 dB
AV = 5.0 dB
FS = RR + LF
FS = 18 + 9 = 27 dBµV/m

Level in µV/m = Common Antilogarithm [(27 dBµV/m)/20] = 22.4 µV/m

8.1 Measured Bandwidth

From the following plots, they show that the fundamental emissions are confined
in the specified band 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz. In case of the fundamental
emissions are within two standard bandwidths from the bandedge, the delta
measurement technique is used for determining bandedge compliance.
Standard bandwidth is the bandwidth specified by ANSI C63.4 (2009) for
frequency being measured.

Emissions radiated outside of the specified frequency bands, except harmonics,
are attenuated by 50dB below the level of the fundamental or to the general
radiated emissions limits in Section 15.209, whichever is the lesser attenuation,
which meet the requirement of part 15.249(d).

Peak Measurement

Bandedge compliance is determined by applying marker-delta method, i.e.
(Bandedge Plot).

Lower bandedge
Peak Resultant field strength = Fundamental emissions (peak value) – delta
from the plot
= 96.5 dBµV/m – 34.5 dB
= 62.0 dBµV/m

Average Resultant field strength = Fundamental emissions (average value) –
delta from the plot
= 83.4 dBµV/m – 34.5 dB
= 48.9 dBµV/m

Upper bandedge
Peak Resultant field strength = Fundamental emissions (peak value) – delta
from the plot
= 95.4 dBµV/m – 36.1 dB
= 59.3dBµV/m

Average Resultant field strength = Fundamental emissions (average value) –
delta from the plot
= 82.3 dBµV/m – 36.1 dB
= 46.2 dBµV/m

The resultant field strength meets the general radiated emission limit in
section 15.209, which does not exceed 74 dBμV/m (Peak Limit) and 54
dBμV/m (Average Limit).

8.2 Discussion Pulse Desensitivity

Pulse desnesitivity is not applicable for this device. The effective period (Teff)
is approximately 0.449ms for a ditital “1” bit which illustrated on technical
specification, with a resolution bandwidth (3dB) of 1MHz, so the pulse
densensitivity factor is 0dB.

8.3 Calculation of Average Factor

The duty cycle is simply the on-time divided by the period:

The duration of one cycle = 2.04ms

Effective period of the cycle = 1*0.449 = 0.449ms

DC = 0.449/2.04 = 0.220

Therefore, the averaging factor is found by 20log 0.220 = -13.1dB.

8.4 Emissions Test Procedures (cont’d)

The EUT is warmed up for 15 minutes prior to the test.

AC power to the unit is varied from 85% to 115% nominal and variation in the
fundamental emission field strength is recorded. If battery powered, a new,
fully charged battery is used.

Conducted measurements were made as described in ANSI C63.4 (2009).

The IF bandwidth used for measurement of radiated signal strength was 100 kHz
or greater when frequency is below 1000 MHz. Where pulsed transmissions of
short enough pulse duration warrant, a greater bandwidth is selected according
to the recommendations of Hewlett Packard Application Note 150-2. A discussion
of whether pulse desensitivity is applicable to this unit is included in this report
(See Exhibit 8.1). Above 1000 MHz, a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz is used.

Transmitter measurements are normally conducted at a measurement distance
of three meters. However, to assure low enough noise floor in the forbidden
bands and above 1 GHz, signals are acquired at a distance of one meter or less. All
measurements are extrapolated to three meters using inverse scaling, unless
otherwise reported. Measurements taken at a closer distance are so marked.
