 3.2         Radiated Emissions
                                                Preliminary measurements were made indoors at 1-meter using broadband
                                                antennas, broadband amplifiers, and spectrum analyzers to determine the
                                                frequency producing the maximum EME. Appropriate precaution was taken to
                                                ensure that all EME from the EUT were maximized and investigated. The
                                                system configuration, clock speed, mode of operation or video resolution, and
                                                turntable azimuth with respect to the antenna was noted for each frequency
                                                found. The spectrum was scanned from 30 to 200 MHz using a bi-conical
                                                antenna and from 200 to 1000 MHz using a log-spiral antenna. Above 1 GHz,
 Figure 3-1. 3-Meter Test Site                  linearly polarized double ridge horn antennas were used.

                                                Final measurements were made outdoors at 3-meter test range using
                                                RobertsTM Dipole antennas or horn antennas (see Figure 3-1). The test
                                                equipment was placed on a wooden and plastic bench situated on a 1.5m x
                                                2m area adjacent to the measurement area (see Figure 3-2). Sufficient time
                                                for the EUT, support equipment, and test equipment was allowed in order for
                                                them to warm up to their normal operating condition. The detector function
                                                was set to CISPR quasi-peak mode and the bandwidth of the spectrum
   Figure 3-2. Dimensions of                    analyzer was set to 100kHz for frequencies below 1GHz or 1MHz for
       Outdoor Test Site                        frequencies above 1GHz. Above 1GHz the detector function was set to
                                                average mode (RBW = 1MHz, VBW = 10Hz).

                                                The half-wave dipole antenna was tuned to the frequency found during
                                                preliminary radiated measurements. The EUT, support equipment and
                                                interconnecting cables were re-configured to the set-up producing the
                                                maximum emission for the frequency and were placed on top of a 0.8-meter
                                                high non-metallic 1 x 1.5 meter table (see Figure 3-3). The EUT, support
                                                equipment, and interconnecting cables were re-arranged and manipulated to
   Figure 3-3. Turntable and                    maximize each EME emission. The turntable containing the system was
        System Setup                            rotated and the height of the receive antenna was varied 1 to 4 meters and
                                                stopped at the azimuth and height producing the maximum emission. Each
                                                emission was maximized by: varying the mode of operation or resolution;
                                                clock or data exchange speed; scrolling H pattern to the EUT and/or support
                                                equipment, and powering the monitor from the floor mounted outlet box and
                                                the computer aux AC outlet, if applicable; and changing the polarity of the
                                                antenna, whichever determined the worst-case emission. Photographs of the
                                                worst-case emission can be seen in the test setup photographs. Each EME
                                                reported was calibrated using the Agilent E8257D (250kHz – 20GHz) PSG

The EUT was tested from 9kHz and up to the 10th harmonic of the fundamental frequency of the transmitter
using CISPR quasi peak detector below 1GHz. Above 1 GHz, average measurement was used, using
RBW = 1MHz, VBW = 1/τ Hz, where τ is the pulse width in seconds, and linearly polarized horn antennas. All
out of band emissions appearing in a restricted band as specified in Section 15.205 of the Title 47 CFR must
not exceed the limits shown in Table 6-2 per Section 15.209. REF!

NOTES:

1. All emissions shown lie in the restricted bands specified in §15.205 and are below the limit shown in Table 6-2.


2. Average Measurements > 1GHz using RBW = 1MHz and VBW = 1/τ Hz, where τ = pulse width in seconds.


3. The antenna is manipulated through typical positions, polarity and length during the tests. The EUT is manipulated
through three orthogonal planes.


4. The EUT is supplied with nominal AC voltage and/or a new/fully-recharged battery.

                                               th
5. The spectrum is measured from 9kHz to the 10 harmonic and the worst-case emissions are reported. No significant
emissions were found beyond the fifth harmonic for this device.


6. Levels at - 135 dBm represent the analyzer noise floor and signify that no emission was detected.


7. Above 960MHz the limit is 500 μV/m (54dBμ/m) at 3 meters radiated.
