to 108 MHz. The results apply only to the specific items of equipment, configurations and
procedures supplied to the Florida Atlantic University EMI Research Lab by XM Satellite Radio,
Inc., as reported in this document.

2. OBJECTIVE

This evaluation was performed to verify conformance of the XM Satellite Radio, Inc. MyFi unit to
the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 47
- Telecommunication, FCC Part 15 Subpart C- intentional Radiators, Section 15.1239(a), FCC Class
B radiated emission requirements.


3. CONCLUSION

The XM Satellite Radio, Inc. MyFi receiver met the FCC Part 15 Subpart C- intentional Radiators,
Sections 15.1239(a), FCC Class B radiated emission requirements, as described in the following
pages.

4.3     Occupied Bandwidth – Section 15.239(a)

4.3.1 Occupied Bandwidth Test Setup

The MyFi unit was evaluated in the Delphi car cradle.

The occupied bandwidth test was performed using an FM direct adapter to maximize the power into
the spectrum analyzer. The unit was programmed to the minimum and maximum FM frequencies
(88.1 MHz and 107.9 MHz). The XM Satellite Radio, Inc., MyFi receiver was evaluated in three
modes:
       • The FM carrier modulated by live XM Satellite Radio signal.
       • The FM carrier unmodulated.
       • The FM carrier modulated by signal consisting of recorded audio files played back from
           the unit’s internal memory.

It was verified that the unit could not be programmed outside of this frequency range. The FM audio
level was maximized during the occupied bandwidth measurements.

                           Diagram 1: Occupied Bandwidth Setup

A Rhode & Schwarz, FSQ8, spectrum analyzer was used for the evaluation. The resolution
bandwidth (RBW) of the spectrum was set to 2 kHz which corresponds to 1% of the maximum
allowed bandwidth of 200 kHz. The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the average detector mode and
the peak emissions were recorded in “Max Hold” mode. The minimum observation time for each
evaluation was about 5 minutes.

                                              In Play-Back Mode

It can be seen from the previous figures that the FM audio signal did not exceed the 200 kHz
bandwidth. Hence the device is in compliance.
