1      General Information

1.1       Scope

FCC Rules Part 15 Subpart B, rule section 15.209

RSS-210 Issue 7 June 2007: Low Power License-Exempt Radio Communication Devices (All Frequency
Bands)

1.2       Modifications

N/A

1.3       Test Facility

The open area test site and conducted measurement facility used to collect the radiated data is located at
Rhein Tech Laboratories (RTL), 360 Herndon Parkway, Suite 1400, Herndon, Virginia 20170. This site has
been fully described in a report and approved by the Federal Communications Commission to perform AC
line conducted and radiated emissions testing (ANSI C63.4 2003).

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. The EUT was tested while receiving live satellite broadcast.

2.3       Test Configuration Descriptions

The Sirius XM Radio Xpress RCi FM Transmitter was tested in a total of seven 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 32

3     Test Information

3.1     Test Justification

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 procedure document used for this report was Sirius XM Satellite Radio Document: Xpress RCi; dated
June 17, 2009. It should be noted that the Xpress RCi uses the following connection methods: Standalone
injected FM Cigarette Lighter Adapter (CLA), FM Direct, Cassette, FM Extender Antenna (FEA), and
SureConnect. This report contains all but the standalone connect which can be found in report 2009219
Sirius XM Xpress RCi FCC 15.239 IC RSS-210 Report R0.0.pdf.

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.

The conducted emissions were measured on the 120 Vac Line and Neutral power leads. The EUT was
powered by the AC adapter. The audio level was set to the maximum audio level. The EUT was configured
to receive a live satellite broadcast. The test configuration is shown below.

The data was recorded using a RBW of 9 kHz and a VBW of 100 kHz. The data was recorded using a Quasi
Peak and Average detector.

The unintentional radiated emissions were measured at a distance of three meters. The EUT was powered
by the AC adapter. The audio level was set to the maximum audio level. The EUT was configured to receive
live satellite broadcast.

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.

4.3    Radiated Emission Measurements - Test Configuration 3: Xpress RCi with FM Direct Adapter

The EUT was configured as shown in the configuration below. The car aerial antenna was mounted to a 4’ by
3’ aluminum plate to simulate the antenna being mounted to a vehicle. The FM direct adapter (output to
radio) was terminated with a 75 Ω termination. The 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 receive a live satellite broadcast. The
cables were manipulated to produce the highest emission level. The EUT was tested using the harmonics of
the following frequencies: 89.1 MHZ, 97.7 MHz and 106.3 MHz. Data was recorded for the ten harmonics of
each fundamental frequency. Data was taken for both horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations.

4.4    Radiated Spurious Emission Measurements - Test Configuration 4: Xpress RCi with Cassette
       Adapter

The EUT was configured as shown in Test Configuration 4. The 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 disabled
and the audio level was set to the maximum audio level. The EUT was configured to receive a live satellite
broadcast. The cables were manipulated to produce the highest emission level. Data was taken for both
horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations. The test configuration is shown below.

4.5    Radiated Spurious Emission Measurements - Test Configuration 6: Xpress RCi with Gen 2 Car
       Cradle and FEA Unit

The EUT was configured as shown in the configuration below. The 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 was set to the maximum audio level. The EUT was configured to receive a live
satellite broadcast. The cables were manipulated to produce the highest emission level. The EUT was tested
using the following 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.

4.6    Radiated Spurious Emission Measurements - Test Configuration 7: Xpress RCi and
       SureConnect

The EUT was configured as shown below. The whip antenna was mounted on a 4’ by 3’ aluminum plate to
simulate the whip antenna mounted on a vehicle, while its port was terminated with a 75 Ohm load. The
SureConnect adapter was connected to the antenna. The 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 was set to the maximum audio level. The EUT was configured to receive a live satellite
broadcast. The cables were manipulated to produce the highest emission level. The EUT was tested using
the following frequencies: 89.1 MHZ, 97.7 MHz and 106.3 MHz. Data was taken for both horizontal and

4.7    200 kHz Bandwidth Measurement FCC 15.239(a) – Test Configuration 5: FM Direct Adapter (BW)

The FM transmitter audio level was set to maximum. The EUT was setup as shown in Test Configuration 5
below. The 200 kHz bandwidth measurements were made at 88.1 MHz, 96.9 MHz and 107.9 MHz. The
bandwidth at 20 dB down from the highest in-band spectral density was measured with the spectrum analyzer
connected to the audio output port on the Xpress RCi. The 20 dB bandwidth was measured with the EUT
receiving a live satellite broadcast as well iTunes MP3 files played from the iPod Touch device. The 20 dB
bandwidth measurements were made with modulation. All measurements were made with the spectrum
analyzer in max hold. The test results are shown in Tables 4.7-1 and 4.7-2. The plots of the bandwidth
measurements are shown in plots 4.7-1 through 4.7-6 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 FM Transmitter, Model #
XDRC2, FCC ID: RS2XDPRCL1, is in compliance with the requirements specified within FCC Part 15
Subpart B and IC RSS-210.
