Authorized Frequency Band Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 10/3/2017 Test Procedure The EUT was connected to a spectrum analyzer through an attenuator with the losses being input into the spectrum analyzer as a combination of reference level offset and correction factor as needed to ensure accurate readings. A signal generator was utilized to produce a CW input signal tuned to the center channel of the operational band. The RF input level was increased to a point just prior to the AGC being in control of the power. The Signal generator was set to sweep across 2X the operational band of the EUT while the spectrum analyzer was set to MAX HOLD. Two markers were placed at the edges of the operational band and a third marker was placed at the highest point within the band no closer than 2.5 MHz from the band edge.

Maximum Power and Gain Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 10/3/2017 Test Procedure The EUT was connected to a spectrum analyzer through an attenuator with the losses being input into the spectrum analyzer as a combination of reference level offset and correction factor as needed to ensure accurate readings. The spectrum analyzer and signal generator were tuned to the frequency with the highest power level in the band, as determined by the Authorized Frequency Band test. The RF input level was increased to a point just prior to the AGC being in control of the power for both pulsed single time slot GSM modulation and 4.1 MHz AWGN modulation. The maximum power was measured and verified to meet the minimum and maximum levels allowed, with the maximum gain being computed from these values. The uplink and downlink gain under each condition were verified to be within 9 dB of each other. The input level was incremented in 2 dB steps up to the maximum input level for the EUT. The output power was recorded at the maximum input level. If the EUT shutdown before the maximum input level was reached, the input level was reduced to 1 dB before the EUT shutdown and the input and output levels were recorded. For Mobile installations the gain is fixed at 50 dB.

Intermodulation Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 10\3\2017 Test Procedure The EUT was connected to a spectrum analyzer through an attenuator. Two signal generators were utilized to produce two CW signals 600 kHz apart and centered in the operational band. Attenuator and cable insertion loss correction factors were input to either the signal generator or the spectrum analyzer as required to ensure that accurate measurements were recorded. The input power was set at the maximum allowable power and the RMS intermodulation products were measured to ensure they were less than -19 dBm in a 3 kHz RBW. The uplink and downlink intermodulation products were plotted, with the levels being listed in the summary tables. The input power was increased in 2 dB increments to 10 dB above the AGC threshold and to verify the intermodulation products remain below the limit. During this test, the input power was not increased past the maximum allowed.

Out-of-Band Emissions Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 10/5/2017 Test Procedure The EUT was connected to a spectrum analyzer through an attenuator with the losses being input into the spectrum analyzer as a combination of reference level offset and correction factor in order to ensure accurate readings. A signal generator was utilized to produce the following signals: GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA. The signal generator was tuned to the lowest allowable upper and lower channel within the EUT operational band for each respective modulation type. The RF input level was increased to a point just prior to the AGC being in control of the power. For each modulation type the Out of Band Emissions were measured to ensure they met the limits. The following formula was used for calculating the limits: Limit = P1 - 6 - (43+ 10Log(P2)) = -19dBm P1 = power in dBm P2 = power in Watts The input power was increased in 2 dB steps up to the maximum input power for the booster being tested. The OOBE was verified to stay below the OOBE Limit. This was recorded as Pass / Fail in the OOBE tables.

A signal generator was utilized to produce the following signals: GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA. The signal generator was tuned to the center channel of each of the EUT operational uplink and downlink bands with the RF level set at a point just prior to the AGC being in control of the power. For each modulation type, the input and output signal was measured and plotted to ensure that the signals were similar.

Anti-Oscillation Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 10/3/2017 Test Procedure The EUT was connected to a spectrum analyzer set for zero span mode. The EUT uplink and downlink were loop backed to each other through a selectable band pass filter and variable attenuator. The EUT uplink and downlink were tested to ensure that the presence of oscillation was detected and that the EUT output turned off within 300 mS for the Uplink and 1 second for the Downlink and remained off for 1 minute. The time was extended to capture how many times the unit attempted to restart. Note: The booster shuts down on the first oscillation detection and does not restart. There are restart timing plots in annex I showing no restarts, therefor there are no Restart Count plots.

Oscillation Mitigation Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 10/19/2017 Test Procedure The EUT was connected as shown per KDB 935210 D03 v04. The EUT was verified to shut down in the presence of an oscillation. The total attenuation from output to input was set +5 dB higher than the gain for the band being tested. For EUT’s that do not shutdown, the peak oscillation was measured and the variable attenuator was reduced in 1 dB increments until the booster shuts off. The frequency and amplitude of the highest oscillation and the lowest level in the valley next to the oscillation was recorded for each 1 dB step as required per the KDB. For oscillations that exceeded the 12 dB limit, the time required for the booster to mitigate the oscillation to less than 12 dB was recorded. If the booster mitigated the oscillation within the 300 second time limit, the time required to mitigate the oscillation was recorded along with the final level of the oscillation after mitigation. Note: In all cases the booster mitigated the oscillation to less than 12 dB before the 300 second limit.

Radiated Spurious Engineer: Greg Corbin Test Date: 10/20/2017 Test Procedure The EUT was tested in a semi-anechoic chamber with the turntable set 3m from the receiving antenna. A spectrum analyzer was used to verify that the EUT met the requirements for Radiated Emissions. The EUT was tested by rotating it 360 degrees with the antenna in both the vertical and horizontal orientation while raised from 1 to 4 meters to ensure that the signal levels were maximized. All cable and antenna correction factors were input into the spectrum analyzer ensuring an accurate measurement in ERP/EIRP with the resultant power in dBm. A signal generator was used to provide a CW signal centered in each operational uplink and downlink band. The EUT output was terminated into a 50 Ohm non- radiating load. The emissions were investigated up to the 10th harmonic of the highest fundamental emission. The spurious emission plots were recorded up to 18 GHz. No emissions were observed above 18 GHz. The following formula was used for calculating the limits: Radiated Spurious Emissions Limit = P1 – (43+ 10Log(P2)) = -13dBm P1 = power in dBm P2 = power in Watts When comparing a measured field strength value to a limit referenced to dBm, the following formulas were used. dBuV= dBm + 107 EIRP (dBm) = E (dBuv/m) + 20logD -104.77 EIRP (dBm) =(dBm+107)+20LogD-104.77 EIRP (dBm) =dBm+107+9.54-104.77 Offset = 11.8 dB When performing a radiated measurement, An 11.8 dB offset is required on the spectrum analyzer in order to convert the measured field strength to EIRP when the spectrum analyzer unit on measurement is set to dBm and the limit being compared to is in dBm. Test Setup Signal Spectrum EUT Antenna Generator Analyzer 50-Ohm non- radiating load Refer to Annex J for Radiated Spurious Emission plots All emissions were lower than -13 dBm. p1780017_FCC_Part 20_Rev 3.0 Page 32 of 33
