    Testing was performed using the mode(s) of operation and configuration(s) noted within the report. The individuals and/or the
    organization requesting the test provided the modes, configurations and settings used to complete the evaluation. The actual test
    parameters are specified in the test data, this includes items such as investigated frequency range (scanned) and test levels. The
    testing methods and performance specifications, as well as the test site used for the evaluation are indicated in the test data. The
    test data represents the configuration / operating mode/ model that produced the highest emission levels as compared to the
    specification limit.

    Measurements were made using the IF bandwidths and detectors specified. No video filter was used, except in the case of the
    FCC Average Measurements above 1GHz. In that case, a peak detector with a 10Hz video bandwidth was used.

    MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY
    A measurement uncertainty estimation has been performed for each test per our internal quality document WP 342. The
    estimation is used to compare the measured result with its "true" or theoretically correct value. The expanded measurement
    uncertainty for radiated emissions measurements is less than +/- 4 dB, and for conducted emissions measurements is less than +/-
    2.7 dB. Our measurement data meets or exceeds the measurement uncertainty requirements of CISPR 16-4; therefore, the test
    data can be compared directly to the specification limit to determine compliance. The calculations for measurement uncertainty are
    available upon request.

    TEST DESCRIPTION

     The highest gain of each type of antenna to be used with the EUT was tested. The EUT was configured for low and high
     channel receive frequency. For this configuration, the spectrum was scanned throughout the specified range. While
     scanning, emissions from the EUT were maximized by rotating the EUT on a turntable, adjusting the position of the EUT
     and the EUT antenna in three orthogonal axis, and adjusting measurement antenna height and polarization, and
     manipulating the EUT antenna in 3 orthogonal planes.

            description



        Testing was performed using the mode(s) of operation and configuration(s) noted within the report. The individuals and/or the
        organization requesting the test provided the modes, configurations and settings used to complete the evaluation. The actual test
        parameters are specified in the test data, this includes items such as investigated frequency range (scanned) and test levels. The
        testing methods and performance specifications, as well as the test site used for the evaluation are indicated in the test data. The
        test data represents the configuration / operating mode/ model that produced the highest emission levels as compared to the
        specification limit.

        Measurements were made using the IF bandwidths and detectors specified. No video filter was used, except in the case of the FCC
        Average Measurements above 1GHz. In that case, a peak detector with a 10Hz video bandwidth was used.

        MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY
        A measurement uncertainty estimation has been performed for each test per our internal quality document WP 342. The estimation
        is used to compare the measured result with its "true" or theoretically correct value. The expanded measurement uncertainty for
        radiated emissions measurements is less than +/- 4 dB, and for conducted emissions measurements is less than +/- 2.7 dB. Our
        measurement data meets or exceeds the measurement uncertainty requirements of CISPR 16-4; therefore, the test data can be
        compared directly to the specification limit to determine compliance. The calculations for measurement uncertainty are available
        upon request.

        TEST DESCRIPTION

         The highest gain of each type of antenna to be used with the EUT was tested. The EUT was configured for low and high
         band transmit frequencies. For each configuration, the spectrum was scanned throughout the specified range. In addition,
         measurements were made in the restricted bands to verify compliance. While scanning, emissions from the EUT were
         maximized by rotating the EUT on a turntable, adjusting the position of the EUT and the EUT antenna in three orthogonal
         axis, and adjusting measurement antenna height and polarization, and manipulating the EUT antenna in 3 orthogonal
         planes (per ANSI C63.10:2009). A preamp and high pass filter were used for this test in order to provide sufficient
         measurement sensitivity.

         The formula for duty cycle correction factor is 20*Log(42.375 ms / 100 ms) = -7.5 dB.
