5 Results
5.1        Conducted emissions on power supply lines (150 kHz to 30 MHz)

5.1.1      Method of measurement

This test will be carried out in a shielded chamber. Tabletop devices will set up on a non-conducting support with
a size of 1 m by 1.5 m and a height of 80 cm above the ground plane. Floor-standing devices will be placed
directly on the ground plane. The setup of the Equipment under test will be in accordance to [1].

The frequency range 150 kHz to 30 MHz will be measured with an EMI Receiver set to MAX Hold mode with peak
and average detector and a resolution bandwidth of 9 kHz. A scan will be carried out on the phase (or plus pole in
case of DC powered devices) of the AC mains network. If levels detected 10 dB below the appropriable limit, this
emission will be measured with the average and quasi-peak detector on all lines.

5.1.2      Test results (conducted emissions on power supply lines)

 Ambient temperature                                        22 °C                  Relative humidity                        45 %

Position of EUT:                            The EUT was set-up on a non-conducting table of a height of 0.8 m.

Cable guide:                                The cables of the EUT were fixed on the non-conducting table. For further information
                                            of the cable guide refer to the pictures in annex A of this test report.

Test record:                                The test was carried out in test mode of the EUT (refer also clause 2 of this test
                                            report). All results are shown in the following.

Supply voltage:                             During this test the EUT was powered with 24 VAC by an AC adapter (see chapter 1.6),
                                            which was itself supplied with 120 VAC / 60 Hz.

The curves in the diagram only represent for each frequency point the maximum measured value of all

The radiated emission measurement is subdivided into six stages.
       - A preliminary measurement carried out in a fully anechoic chamber with a fixed antenna height in the
           frequency range 9 kHz to 1 GHz.
       - A final measurement carried out on an outdoor test side without reflecting ground plane and a fixed
           antenna height in the frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz.
       - A preliminary measurement carried out in a fully anechoic chamber with a fixed antenna height in the
           frequency range 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
       - A final measurement carried out on an open area test side with reflecting ground plane and various
           antenna heights in the frequency range 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
       - A preliminary measurement carried out in a fully anechoic chamber with a fixed antenna height in the
           frequency range 1 GHz to 5 GHz.
       - A final measurement carried out in a fully anechoic chamber with a fixed antenna height in the
           frequency range 1 GHz to 5 GHz.

Preliminary measurement (9 kHz to 30 MHz):

In the first stage a preliminary measurement will be performed in a shielded room with a measuring distance of 3
meters. Table-top devices will set up on a non-conducting support with a size of 1 m by 1.5 m and a height of 80
cm. Floor-standing devices will be placed directly on the turntable/ground plane. The set up of the Equipment
under test will be in accordance to [1].

The frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz will be monitored with a spectrum analyser while the system and its cables
will be manipulated to find out the configuration with the maximum emission levels if applicable. The EMI
Receiver will be set to MAX Hold mode. The EUT and the measuring antenna will be rotated around their vertical
axis to found the maximum emissions.

The resolution bandwidth of the spectrum analyser will be set to the following values:

                                 Frequency range                          Resolution bandwidth

Preliminary measurement procedure:

Prescans were performed in the frequency range 9 kHz to 150 kHz and 150 kHz to 30 MHz.

The following procedure will be used:
   1) Monitor the frequency range at horizontal polarisation and a EUT azimuth of 0 °.
   2) Manipulate the system cables within the range to produce the maximum level of emission.
   3) Rotate the EUT by 360 ° to maximize the detected signals.
   4) Make a hardcopy of the spectrum.
   5) Measure the frequencies of highest detected emission with a lower span and resolution bandwidth to
         increase the accuracy and note the frequency value.
   6) Repeat steps 1) to 5) with the other orthogonal axes of the EUT (because of EUT is a module and might
         be used in a handheld equipment application).
   7) Rotate the measuring antenna and repeat steps 1) to 5).


Final measurement (9 kHz to 30 MHz):

In the second stage a final measurement will be performed on an open area test site with no conducting ground
plane in a measuring distances of 3 m, 10 m and 30 m. In the case where larger measuring distances are
required the results will be extrapolated based on the values measured on the closer distances according to
Section 15.31 (f) (2) [2]. The final measurement will be performed with a EMI Receiver set to Quasi Peak detector
except for the frequency bands 9 kHz to 90 kHz and 110 kHz to 490 kHz where an average detector will be used
according Section 15.209 (d) [2].

On the frequencies, which were detected during the preliminary measurements, the final measurement will be
performed while rotating the EUT and the measuring antenna in the range of 0 ° to 360 ° around their vertical axis
until the maximum value is found.

Procedure preliminary measurement:

Prescans were performed in the frequency range 1 to 40 GHz.
The following procedure will be used:
    1. Monitor the frequency range at horizontal polarisation and a EUT azimuth of 0 °.
    2. Rotate the EUT by 360° to maximize the detected signals.
    3. Repeat 1) to 2) with the vertical polarisation of the measuring antenna.
    4. Make a hardcopy of the spectrum.
    5. Repeat 1) to 4) with the EUT raised by an angle of 30° (60°, 90°, 120° and 150°) according to 6.6.5.4 in
         [1].
    6. Measure the frequency of the detected emissions with a lower span and resolution bandwidth to increase
         the accuracy and note the frequency value.
    7. The measurement antenna polarisation, with the according EUT position (Turntable and Turn device)
         which produces the highest emission for each frequency will be used for the final measurement. The six
         closest values to the applicable limit will be used for the final measurement.

Final measurement (1 GHz to 110 GHz)

The frequency range will be divided into different sub ranges depending of the frequency range of the used
antenna. The EMI Receiver set to peak and average mode and a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz. The
measurement will be performed by rotating the turntable through 0 to 360° in the worst-case EUT orientation
which was obtained during the preliminary measurements.

The resolution bandwidth of the EMI Receiver will be set to the following values:

The following procedure will be used for the occupied bandwidth measurement according to [1]:

The span of the analyzer shall be set to capture all products of the modulation process, including the emission
skirts. The resolution bandwidth shall be set to as close to 1% of the selected span as is possible without being
below 1%. The video bandwidth shall be set to 3 times the resolution bandwidth. Video averaging is not
permitted. Where practical, a sampling detector shall be used since a peak or, peak hold, may produce a wider
bandwidth than actual.
The trace data points are recovered and are directly summed in linear terms. The recovered amplitude data
points, beginning at the lowest frequency, are placed in a running sum until 0.5% of the total is reached and that
frequency recorded. The process is repeated for the highest frequency data points. This frequency is recorded.
The span between the two recorded frequencies is the occupied bandwidth.
