The applicant has been cautioned as to the following

15.21 - Information to User

The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

15.27(a) - Special Accessories

Equipment marketed to a consumer must be capable of complying with the necessary regulations in the configuration in
which the equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are
required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment
must be marketed with, i.e. shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu of shipping or packaging
the special accessories with the unintentional or intentional radiator, the responsible party may employ other methods of
ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the consumer, without an additional charge.

Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization
or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party responsible for the equipment, as detailed in 2.909 of this
chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The instruction manual for such
devices shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned with the installation of the device that
these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user to use the needed special
accessories supplied with the equipment.

Standard Test Conditions and Engineering Practices


All tests and measurement data shown were performed in accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, Volume II; Part 2
and the following individual Part: 15.247 Operation within bands 902-928 MHz, 2400-2483.5 MHz, and 5725-5850 MHz.

Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing:

In accordance with ANSI C63.4:2014, ANSI C63.10:2013, FCC DA 00-705, and unless otherwise indicated in the specific
measurement results, the ambient temperature of the actual EUT was maintained within the range of 10 to 40C (50 to
104F) unless the particular equipment requirements specified testing over a different temperature range. Also, unless
otherwise indicated, the humidity levels were in the range of 10% to 90% relative humidity.

Measurement results, unless otherwise noted, are worst case measurements.

EUT Description
Model: M6E-M
Description: Dual linear polarization directional UHF RFID reader
Firmware: N/A
Software: N/A
Serial Number: 1

Additional Information:
Device is a mobile RFID tag reader micro air vehicle using an RFID module with FCC ID of QV5MERCURY6E-M and
incorporating Adasa G9 antenna to it for class II permissive change on the same ID. The gain of the antenna is 7.15 at its
maximum. The hopping is stopped and device is put on low, Mid and High frequencies for purpose of peak Output power,
radiated spurious emissions. Bandedge emissions are measuremed both with hopping on and hopping stopped.

EUT Operation during Tests
EUT is powered through USB with the laptop which controls its testing configuration as well. Both the unit and the laptop
are located in the chamber for testing and emissions are measured once with laptop in the chamber only to verify no
emissions beyond the limit are emitting from the laptop.


15.203: Antenna Requirement:

                                            X      The antenna is permanently attached to the EUT

                                                   The antenna uses a unique coupling

                                                   The EUT must be professionally installed

                                                   The antenna requirement does not apply

Peak Output Power
Engineer: Poona Saber
Test Date: 6/20/2018

                                                   Test Procedure

The EUT was connected directly to the input of a power meter. The peak readings were taken and the result was then
compared to the limit.
Per Ansi c63.10 part 7.8.5, RBW bigger than 20 dB bandwidth shall be used for power measurement. Measurement
below is compensated for RBW difference per formula below :

Compensated power = measured power + 10 log ( RBWc/RBWm)
RBWc= RBW compensated
RBWm= RBW used for measurement

Radiated Spurious Emissions
Engineer: Poona Saber
Test Date: 6/20/2018

                                                   Test Procedure

The EUT was tested in a semi-anechoic chamber set 3m from the receiving antenna. A spectrum analyzer was used to
verify that the EUT met the requirements for Radiated Spurious Emissions. The antenna and cable correction factors were
summed with the amplifier gain and entered into the spectrum analyzer as an offset to ensure accurate readings. The
spectrum for each tuned frequency was examined to the 10th harmonic.

Radiated spurious have been checked both for part 15.247 in every 100 KHz Bandwidth outside of the frequency band
and for restricted bands of 15.205 to comply with 15.209 limits.

                                                  Test Procedure

The EUT was tested in a 3 meter semi-anechoic chamber. A spectrum analyzer was used to verify that the EUT met the
requirements for band edge with both peak and average measurements. The cable and transducer correction factors
were input into the analyzer as a reference level offset to ensure accurate readings.
