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.

 7      SUMMARY OF TESTS

 Along with the tabular data shown below, plots were taken of all signals deemed important
 enough to document.

 7.1        Antenna Requirement – FCC 15.203

 The EUT utilizes a dual band dipole antenna. Connection to the module is via a U.fl to SMA
 adapter cable which is a unique connection. The max gain of the antenna is 8dBi in the 2.4GHz
 band.

 7.2        Power Line Conducted Emissions – FCC 15.207, ISED Canada: RSS-Gen 8.8

 7.2.1       Measurement Procedure

 Conducted emissions were performed from 150kHz to 30MHz with the spectrum analyzer’s
 resolution bandwidth set to 9kHz and the video bandwidth set to 30kHz. The calculation for the
 conducted emissions is as follows:

 Corrected Reading = Analyzer Reading + LISN Loss + Cable Loss
 Margin = Corrected Reading – Applicable Limit

7.3      6dB / 99% Bandwidth – FCC 15.247(a)(2), ISED Canada: RSS-247 5.2(a)

7.3.1     Measurement Procedure

The 6dB bandwidth was measured in accordance with the FCC KDB 558074 D01 DTS Meas
Guidance. The Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) of the spectrum analyzer was set to 100 kHz. The
Video Bandwidth (VBW) was set to ≥ 3 times the RBW. The trace was set to max hold with a
peak detector active. The marker-delta function of the spectrum analyzer was utilized to
determine the 6dB bandwidth of the emission.

The occupied bandwidth measurement function of the spectrum analyzer was used to measure
the 99% bandwidth. The span of the analyzer was set to capture all products of the modulation
process, including the emission sidebands. A peak detector was used.

7.5.1.1     Measurement Procedure

The unwanted emissions into non-restricted bands were measured conducted in accordance with
FCC KDB 558074 D01 DTS Meas Guidance. 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 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.

7.5.2     Emissions into Restricted Frequency Bands – FCC: 15.205, 15.209; ISED Canada:
          RSS-Gen 8.9 / 8.10

7.5.2.1        Measurement Procedure

The unwanted emissions into restricted bands were measured radiated over the frequency range
of 9kHz to 25GHz, 10 times the highest fundamental frequency.

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.

7.6     Maximum Power Spectral Density in the Fundamental Emission – FCC 15.247(e)
        ISED Canada: RSS-247 5.2(2)

7.6.1    Measurement Procedure

The power spectral density was measured in accordance with the FCC KDB 558074 D01 DTS
Meas Guidance utilizing the AVGPSD-2 method. 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.
