3.3 Test procedure and test setup

The measurement was applied in a semi-anechoic chamber. While testing for spurious
emission higher than 1GHz, if applied, the pre-amplifier would be equipped just at the output
terminal of the antenna.
The EUT and simulators were placed on a 0.8m high wooden turntable above the horizontal
metal ground plane. The turn table rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the
maximum emission level. The EUT was set 3 meters away from the receiving antenna which
was mounted on an antenna mast. The antenna moved up and down between from 1meter to
4 meters to find out the maximum emission level.
The EUT was tested according to DTS test procedure of KDB558074 D01 DTS “Meas
Guidance v02” for compliance to FCC 47CFR 15.247 requirements.

The radiated emission was measured using the Spectrum Analyzer with the resolutions
bandwidth set as:
RBW = 100kHz, VBW = 300kHz (30MHz-1GHz)
RBW = 1MHz, VBW = 3MHz (>1GHz for PK);
RBW = 1MHz, VBW = 10Hz (>1GHz for AV);

Remark: 1. Correct Factor = Antenna Factor + Cable Loss (-Amplifier, is employed)
       2. Corrected Reading = Original Receiver Reading + Correct Factor
       3. Margin = limit – Corrected Reading
       4. If the PK reading is lower than AV limit, the AV test can be elided.


Example: Assuming Antenna Factor = 30.20dB/m, Cable Loss = 2.00dB,
         Gain of Preamplifier = 32.00dB, Original Receiver Reading = 10dBuV.
         Then Correct Factor = 30.20 + 2.00 – 32.00 = 0.20dB/m; Corrected Reading =
         10dBuV + 0.20dB/m = 10.20dBuV/m
         Assuming limit = 54dBuV/m, Corrected Reading = 10.20dBuV/m, then Margin =
          54 -10.20 = 43.80dBuV/m

4.3 Test procedure and test set up

The EUT are connected to the main power through a line impedance stabilization network
(LISN). This provides a 50Ω/50uH coupling impedance for the measuring equipment. The
peripheral devices are also connected to the main power through a LISN that provides a
50Ω/50uH coupling impedance with 50Ω termination.
Both sides (Line and Neutral) of AC line are checked for maximum conducted interference.
In order to find the maximum emission, the relative positions of equipment and all of the
interface cables must be changed according to ANSI C63.4 on conducted measurement.
The bandwidth of the test receiver is set at 9 kHz.
