4.4 Radiated Emissions 15.239
Intentional Radiator (Operation in the Band 88 MHz to 108 MHz)

4.4.1 Car Cradle with FM Aerial Antenna and Sure-Connect Setup

The XM Satellite Radio Inc, Xpress R receiver was evaluated for two Sure-Connect accessories:
Sure-Connect 1.0 and Sure-Connect 1.5. The Xpress-R receiver was set up on a wooden table 80
centimeters above the ground plane turntable of the FCC listed Semi-Anechoic test site.

In the Sure-Connect 1.5 setup Diagram 5A, the EUT was placed into a Universal Car Cradle with an
XM FM Coupler (Sure-Connect 1.5) connected to the audio output port (line out) of the car cradle.
An XM car antenna is attached to the RF jack of the car cradle. A 5V low noise cigarette lighter
adapter (CLA) power supply is connected to the radio, and powered by a car battery which is placed
on the floor. Additional test data is also reported for EUT programmed to 96.9 MHz:
    • Xpress-R playing content from replay memory
    • Xpress-R with the alternate display (Ocular LCD) playing live XM signal
The setup is depicted in Photograph 7 of the technical document 07-027ph.

In the Sure-Connect 1.0 setup Diagram 5, the EUT was placed into an Xpress Car Cradle with an
XM FM Coupler attached to the RF jack of the car cradle. An XM car antenna is attached to the FM
Coupler’s RF jack. A 5V cigarette lighter adapter (CLA) power supply is connected to the radio,
and powered by a car battery which is placed on the floor.

The Xpress-R unit is evaluated for two different CLAs:
    • The ITI dual ferrite CLA
    • The ITI Low-Noise CLA
For the second CLA test, additional data is also reported for EUT programmed to 96.9 MHz, playing
content from the internal memory.

Diagram 5 above and Photograph 8, representing the setup previously described, are in the separate
document entitled, 07-027ph.

For the evaluations with the Sure-Connect accessories, an EMCO 3104 Broadband Biconical
antenna was installed on an EMCO pneumatically controlled Antenna Mast at a distance of 3 meters
from the system. The 30 to 200 MHz frequency range was automatically scanned on the HP 8566B
Spectrum Analyzer operated in the peak detector mode with a bandwidth of 120 kHz obtained
through the HP 85650A Quasi Peak Adapter. It should be noted that the RES BW and VBW of the
spectrum analyzer must be set to 1 MHz for the Quasi Peak Adapter to provide 120 kHz bandwidth
correctly. Hence, in the figures RES BW and VBW are still indicated as 1 MHz. The turntable was
incrementally rotated through 360 degrees and at the same time the receiving antenna was scanned
in height from 1 to 4 meters in both the horizontal and vertical polarizations. An EMCO 3146 Log
Periodic antenna was then installed and the above procedure was repeated for the 200 to 1000 MHz
ranges.

                FM Aerial Setup with Universal Car Cradle and SureConnect 1.5


The FCC Class B limit lines have been corrected for the appropriate antenna factors, cable loss, and
amplifier gain based on the following equation:

E (dBμV/m) = SA reading (dBμV) + Antenna Factor (dB/m) + Cable Loss (dB) - Amp Gain (dB)

It should be noted that the limit line indicated in Figures 80-127 is for FCC Class B unintentional
radiators. However, the allowable field strength for Intentional radiation as per Section 15.239 is 250
µV/m or 48 dBµV/m, which is 4.5 dB higher than the unintentional FCC Class B (43.5 dBµV/m)
limit in this frequency range. As an example, the measured value at 96.9 MHz on Figure 93 was 1.58
dB (45.08 dBµV/m) above the FCC Class B unintentional limit, but it was 2.92 dB below the
intentional Class B limit of 48 dBµV/m.

 *Note that the intentional radiator limit is used for these frequency points.

 It can be seen from the data above that the emissions did not exceed the limit. Hence the device is in
 compliance.

4.5.    Radiated Emissions Measured on Vehicles 15.239

Per FCC instructions, the FM fundamental power measurements using the FM Coupler device were
measured on three different vehicles which utilize embedded FM antennas in the vehicle’s glass.

The test vehicles that were used during the test include:

   •    Lexus SUV
   •    Toyota Camry
   •    Cadillac Escalade

The XM satellite Radio, Inc. Xpress-R receiver was evaluated respectively in the Universal Car
Cradle and the Xpress Car Cradle.

4.5.1 In Vehicle Measurements Test Setup

TEST PROCEDURE

   1.      The satellite radio receiver and FM Coupler were installed in each vehicle per the
           installation guidelines provided to the user and tuned to one of the three test FM
           frequencies.
   2.      The RBW and VBW of the spectrum analyzer were set to 120 kHz and 300 kHz,
           respectively. A peak detector was utilized.
   3.      For tests where the receiving antenna is in Vertical polarization, the receive antenna is
           initially placed at one meter from the ground. For Horizontal polarization, the receive
           antenna is initially placed at three meters from the ground.
   4.      While monitoring the power of the fundamental FM emission, the receive antenna base is
           moved horizontally along one of the vehicles sides, at 3 meters from the vehicle. The
           position that produces the highest emission is found.
   5.      At the position found in step (4) above, the antenna is moved vertically from 1 meter to 4
           meters. The highest FM emission is found and recorded.
   6.      The above procedure is repeated for each of the four sides of the vehicle.
   7.      The above procedure is repeated for each of three FM frequencies (88.7 MHz, 96.9 MHz
           and 107.1 MHz). The low and high frequency measurements were taken at 88.7 and
           107.1 MHz, respectively, in lieu of 88.1 and 107.7 MHz to avoid interference from FM
           broadcast stations that were detected on the test range.
   8.      The cable loss, amplifier gain, and antenna factors are used to determine the absolute
           field strength from each peak power measurement as shown in the table below.

  It can be seen from the previous data that the emissions did not exceed the limit. Hence, the
  device is in compliance.

4.6 Occupied Bandwidth – Section 15.239(a)

4.6.1 Occupied Bandwidth Test Setup

The Xpress-R unit was evaluated in the Universal Car Cradle and in the Xpress 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
as well as one mid-range frequency (88.1 MHz, 96.9 MHz and 107.9 MHz). The XM Satellite
Radio, Inc. Xpress-R 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 the audio signal played from the device’s memory.

For the first two configurations, EUT was set to receive live over-the-air signal. 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.

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 with the command max hold. The minimum observation time for
each configuration was about 5 minutes. Photograph 18, representing the setup described above, is
included in the separate document entitled, 07-027ph.

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.
