2.1       Equipment Description

The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is the Sirius XM Radio Xpress RCi FM Transmitter, Model # XDRC2,
FCC ID: RS2XDPRCL1. The FM transmitter is located within the satellite broadcast receiver but is only
capable of FM transmissions in the Vehicle Mode while docked in the car cradle. The test data contained in
this report pertains only to the equipment tested.

2.2       Operation Mode

The Sirius XM Radio Xpress RCi FM Transmitter was set to transmit in the FM band while receiving live
satellite broadcast.

2.3       Test Configuration Descriptions

The Sirius XM Radio Xpress RCi FM Transmitter was tested in a total of two different configurations for
unintentional and intentional emissions compliance to FCC rules and regulations and IC standards. Each test
configuration is shown in the test information section.




                                                                                       Page 3 of 11

3      Te s t In fo rm a tio n

3.1       Test Justification

The EUT tested was the Sirius XM Radio Xpress RCi with FM Transmitter, Model # XDRC2, FCC ID:.
RS2XDPRCL1. The FM transmitter is located within the Xpress RCi housing and is only capable of FM
transmission. The test data contained in this report pertains only to the emissions due to the FM band
transmitter of the EUT. The test results relate only to the item that was tested. The test procedure document
used for this report was Sirius XM Satellite Radio Documents: Xpress RCi; dated June 18, 2009.

3.2       Exercising the EUT

The EUT was tested with the FM modulator enabled while receiving live satellite broadcast. The EUT was
tested using 89.1 MHz, 97.7 MHz and 106.3 MHz. There were no deviations from the test standard(s) and/or
methods. The EUT was tested using frequencies from the low, mid, and high bands across its frequency
tuning range 88.1 MHz-107.9 MHz. The lowest and highest tuning frequencies, namely, 88.1 MHz and 107.9
MHz, were not used during testing due to very strong local ambient that prevented their use. The tuning
range of the Xpress RCi was verified during testing. There were no deviations from the test standard(s)
and/or methods.

4.1       Radiated Emission Measurements Standalone Injected FM CLA - Test Configuration 1

The EUT was configured as shown below. The intentional radiated emissions were measured at a distance
of three meters. The EUT was powered by a fully charged 12 Vdc car battery. The FM Modulator was
enabled and the audio level set to the maximum audio level. The EUT was configured to either receive live
satellite broadcast or to playback saved broadcast. The cables were manipulated to produce the highest
emission level. The EUT was tested using the following in-band frequencies: 89.1 MHZ, 97.7 MHz and 106.3
MHz. Data was taken for both horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations with the worst case levels
recorded.

4.2    In-Band Radiated Emission Measurements – In-Situ Test Configuration 2

The Xpress RCi was installed into the Gen2 car cradle placed on the center (middle) of the vehicle’s
dashboard. The Gen2 car cradle was powered by the FM injected CLA power adapter cable which was
plugged into the vehicle’s CLA port. The satellite antenna port of the Gen2 car cradle was also fed with the
satellite signal via the XM satellite antenna cable for the following three vehicles: (1) Nissan Sentra, (2)
Subaru Outback, and (3) Range Rover SUV. The XM satellite antenna was placed in the rear center of the
vehicles roof, with its cable routed all the way to the vehicle’s dash board along the vehicle’s door lining
spaces. The EUT was configured to receive live satellite broadcast signals and the audio levels were set to
maximum. The antenna mast was moved along the side of the vehicle under test to maximize the emission
levels. During the maximization process, a three meter distance was maintained between the antenna mast
and vehicle. At the emission peaks, the antenna height was also varied between 1 & 4 meters to maximize
the emissions. The frequencies used were 89.1 MHz, 97.7 MHz & 106.3 MHz.

Testing was performed using both horizontal and vertical antenna polarities, with the highest level recorded.
The data was recorded using a RBW of 120 kHz and a VBW of 300 kHz. The data was recorded using a
Quasi Peak detector.

Each vehicle was tested on all four sides. The test configuration is shown below.

5.1       Radiated Emissions Measurement Sample Calculation

          Limit = 150 µV/m = 20 * log (150µV/1µV) = 43.5 dBµV/m

          Field Strength Level (dBµV/m) = Analyzer Level (dBµV) + Site Correction Factor (dB)

          Where:

          Site Correction Factor (dB) = Antenna Correction Factor (dB) + Cable Loss (dB) – Preamp Gain (dB)

          Margin (dB) = Field Strength Level - Limit



6      Conclusion

The data in this test report demonstrates that the Sirius XM Radio Xpress RCi with FM Transmitter, Model
# XDRC2, FCC ID: RS2XDPRCL1 / IC: 5697A-XDPRCL1, is in compliance with the requirements specified
within FCC Section 15.239 and Annex A2 of RSS-210 of Industry Canada standard.
