Model(s): Serie-6 RF Mesh mSBR Card FCC ID: R7PNG0R1S4 IC: 5294A- NG0R1S4 1.3 Test Methodology and Considerations All modes of operation, including all data rates, were evaluated and the data presented in this report represents the worst case where applicable. The worst-case data rate was MCS0. For radiated emissions, the EUT was evaluated in three orthogonal orientations. The worst-case orientation was Z-orientation for band edge measurements and the X-orientation for harmonic emissions. See test setup photos for more information. For AC power line conducted emissions the EUT was evaluated with a commercially available wall wart power supply. For RF Conducted Emissions, the EUT was modified with an u.fl antenna connector to facilitate connection to the test equipment. Radiated inter-modulation testing was performed for all combinations of simultaneous transmission and found to be compliant. Power setting during test: 26 Report: AT72146310-1C6 Page 4

The chamber is lined with Toyo Ferrite Grid Absorber, model number FFG-1000. The ferrite tile grid is 101 x 101 x 19mm thick and weighs approximately 550 grams. These tiles are mounted on steel panels and installed directly on the inner walls of the chamber. The turntable is 5’ in diameter and is located 5’6” from the back wall of the chamber. The chamber is grounded via 1 - 8’ copper ground rod, installed at the center of the back wall, it is bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable. The turntable is all steel, flush mounted EMCO Model 1060 installed in an all steel frame. The table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 25’ from the range. The turntable is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation. Behind the turntable is a 3’ x 6’ x 4’ deep shielded pit used for support equipment if necessary. The pit is equipped with 1 - 4” PVC chase from the turntable to the pit that allows for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit. The chamber rear wall is covered with a mixture of Siepel pyramidal absorber. The side walls of the chamber are partially covered with Siepel pyramidal absorber. 30’ Dimensions Not to Scale 5’6” 20’ 9’8” 3 Meters 4’3” Figure 2.3.1-1: Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site – Chamber A Report: AT72146310-1C6 Page 6

The Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) of the spectrum analyzer was set to 100 kHz. The Video Bandwidth (VBW) was set to ≥ 300 kHz. The resulting spectrum analyzer peak level was used to determine the reference level with respect to the 30 dBc limit at the band edges. The spectrum span was then adjusted for the measurement of spurious emissions from 30MHz to 25GHz, 10 times the highest fundamental frequency. 7.5.1.2 Measurement Results Performed by: Jeremy Pickens Figure 7.5.1.2-1: LCH – 30MHz–25GHz Figure 7.5.1.2-2: MCH – 30MHz–25GHz Figure 7.5.1.2-3: HCH – 30MHz–25GHz Report: AT72146310-1C6 Page 18

The EUT was rotated through 360° and the receive antenna height was varied from 1 meter to 4 meters so that the maximum radiated emissions level would be detected. For frequencies below 1000 MHz, quasi-peak measurements were made using a resolution bandwidth RBW of 120 kHz and a video bandwidth VBW of 300 kHz. For frequencies above 1000 MHz, peak and average measurements were made with RBW and VBW of 1 MHz and 3 MHz respectively. Each emission found to be in a restricted band as defined by section 15.205, including any emission at the operational band-edge, was compared to the radiated emission limits as defined in section 15.209. 7.5.2.2 Measurement Results Performed by: Jeremy Pickens / Ryan McGann Radiated spurious emissions found in the band of 9kHz to 25GHz are reported in the Table 7.5.2.2-1 below.

The RF output of the equipment under test was directly connected to the input of the spectrum analyzer applying suitable attenuation. The Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) of the spectrum analyzer was set to 3 kHz. The Video Bandwidth (VBW) was set to 10 kHz. Span was set to 1.5 times the channel bandwidth. The trace was set for trace averaging over 100 traces with the RMS detector active. A duty cycle correction factor was added to the measured power spectral density. The power spectral density limit was corrected for the antenna gain by the amount in dB that the gain exceeds 6dBi. See section 7.7 of this test report for the duty cycle correction factor. 7.6.2 Measurement Results Performed by: Ryan McGann Table 7.6.2-1: Power Spectral Density Frequency Measured PSD Corrected PSD PSD Limit Margin Modulation [MHz] [dBm] [dBm] [dBm/3kHz] [dB] 2410.8 3.79 4.14 6 1.86 OFDM 2439.6 3.80 4.15 6 1.85 2461.2 3.21 3.56 6 2.44 Figure 7.6.2-1: Sample Power Spectral Density – MCH Report: AT72146310-1C6 Page 22
