1.3    Test Methodology and Considerations

This AMI7 is a composite device by definition. The 900 MHz LAN radio and the 2.4 GHz Zigbee
radio operate under CFR 47 Part 15.247 and IC RSS-210. This report addresses the 900 MHz
LAN radio only. A separate report, 11-0093.W06.22.A, will be issued to address the 2.4 GHz
Zigbee radio.

The AMI7 was integrated into a 3S meter form for AC power line conducted emissions and
radiated emissions.

Both the 900 MHz LAN radio and the 2.4 GHz Zigbee radio can transmit simultaneously therefore
radiated inter-modulation products were evaluated and found to be in compliance.

For the purpose of RF conducted measurements, the AMI7 module was modified with a
temporary 50 ohm antenna port.

2.3     Radiated Emissions Test Site Description

2.3.1    Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site

The Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site consists of a 20’ x 30’ x 18’ shielded enclosure. The
chamber is lined with Toyo Ferrite Grid Absorber, model number FFG-1000. The ferrite tile grid is
101 x 101 x 19mm thick and weighs approximately 550 grams. These tiles are mounted on steel
panels and installed directly on the inner walls of the chamber.

The turntable is 150cm in diameter and is located 160cm from the back wall of the chamber. The
chamber is grounded via 1 - 8’ copper ground rod, installed at the center of the back wall, it is
bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable.

The turntable is all steel, flush mounted table installed in an all steel frame. The table is remotely
operated from inside the control room located 25’ from the range. The turntable is electrically
bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table.
The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation.

Behind the turntable is a 3’ x 6’ x 4’ deep shielded pit used for support equipment if necessary.
The pit is equipped with 1 - 4” PVC chases from the turntable to the pit that allow for cabling to
the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can
be supplied to the EUT from the pit.

A diagram of the Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site is shown in Figure 2.3-1 below:

2.3.2   Open Area Tests Site (OATS)

The open area test site consists of a 40’ x 66’ concrete pad covered with a perforated electro-
plated galvanized sheet metal. The perforations in the sheet metal are 1/8” holes that are
staggered every 3/16”. The individual sheets are placed to overlap each other by 1/4” and are
riveted together to provide a continuous seam. Rivets are spaced every 3” in a 3 x 20 meter
perimeter around the antenna mast and EUT area. Rivets in the remaining area are spaced as
necessary to properly secure the ground plane and maintain the electrical continuity.

The entire ground plane extends 12’ beyond the turntable edge and 16’ beyond the antenna mast
when set to a 10 meter measurement distance. The ground plane is grounded via 4 - 8’ copper
ground rods, each installed at a corner of the ground plane and bound to the ground plane using
3/4" stainless steel braided cable.

The turntable is an all aluminum 10’ flush mounted table installed in an all aluminum frame. The
table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 40’ from the range. The turntable
is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of
the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation.

Adjacent to the turntable is a 7’ x 7’ square and 4’ deep concrete pit used for support equipment if
necessary. The pit is equipped with 5 - 4” PVC chases from the pit to the control room that allow
for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit
so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit. The pit is covered with 2 sheets of 1/4"
diamond style re-enforced steel sheets. The sheets are painted to match the perforated steel
ground plane; however the underside edges have been masked off to maintain the electrical
continuity of the ground plane. All reflecting objects are located outside of the ellipse defined in
ANSI C63.4.

A diagram of the Open Area Test Site is shown in Figure 2.3-2 below:

7      SUMMARY OF TESTS

Along with the tabular data shown below, plots were taken of all signals deemed important
enough to document.

7.1      Antenna Requirement – FCC: Section 15.203

The antenna is a quarter wave embedded slot antenna in the PWB ground plane with a
measured gain of 2.2dBi.

7.2      Power Line Conducted Emissions – FCC: Section 15.207 IC: RSS-Gen 7.2.4

7.2.1        Measurement Procedure

ANSI C63.4 sections 6 and 7 were the guiding documents for this evaluation. Conducted
emissions were performed from 150kHz to 30MHz with the spectrum analyzer’s resolution
bandwidth set to 9kHz and the video bandwidth set to 30kHz. The calculation for the conducted
emissions is as follows:

Corrected Reading = Analyzer Reading + LISN Loss + Cable Loss
Margin = Applicable Limit - Corrected Reading

7.2.2        Measurement Results

Results of the test are shown below in and Tables 7.2.2-1 to 7.2.2-2.

7.3     Peak Output Power - FCC Section 15.247(b)(2) IC: RSS-210 A8.4(1)

7.3.1    Measurement Procedure (Conducted Method)

The 20dB bandwidth of the EUT was within the resolution bandwidth of spectrum analyzer,
therefore the power measurement was made using the spectrum analyzer method. The RF
output port of the EUT was directly connected to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The
resolution and video bandwidth were set to > 20 dB bandwidth of the emission measured. The
device employs >= 50 channels therefore the power is limited to 1 Watt.

7.3.2    Measurement Results

Results are shown in Table 7.3.2-1 and Figures 7.3.2-1 to 7.3.2-9 below.

7.4.1                 Carrier Frequency Separation – FCC: Section 15.247(a)(1) IC: RSS-210 A8.1(b)

7.4.1.1                 Measurement Procedure

The RF output port of the EUT was directly connected to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The
span of the spectrum analyzer was set wide enough to capture two adjacent peaks and the RBW
and VBW were set to ≥ 1% of the span.

Carrier frequency separation was measured for all modulations and data presented in section
7.4.1.2 below.


7.4.1.2                 Measurement Results

The adjacent channel separation was measured to be 500 kHz for FSK modulation and 200kHz
for OOK modulation. Results are shown below in Figures 7.4.1.2-1 to 7.4.1.2-3.

7.4.3.1                Measurement Procedure

The RF output port of the EUT was directly connected to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The
hopping channel is centered on the analyzer and the span set to 0 Hz. The RBW was set to 1
MHz and the VBW to 3 MHz. Sweep time was adjusted to capture the burst duration of the
emission. The marker –delta function of the analyzer was employed to measure the burst
duration.

7.4.3.2                Measurement Results

The duration of the RF transmission was measured as 123.1 ms for FSK modulation using
19.2kbps data rate. The duration of the RF transmission was measured as 84.4 ms for FSK
modulation using 152.3 kbps data rate. The duration of the RF transmission was measured as
5.88 ms for OOK modulation. In a period of 20 seconds, each channel could be repeated a
maximum of three times. Within a 20 second period, the total time for transmission on the same
channel is 123.1*3=369.3.

A single transmission for each modulation is shown in figures 7.4.3.2-1 to 7.4.3.2-3 below.

7.4.4     20dB / 99% Bandwidth - FCC: Section 15.247(a)(1)(i) IC: RSS-210 A8.1(c)

7.4.4.1    Measurement Procedure

The RF output port of the EUT was directly connected to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The
spectrum analyzer span was set to 2 to 3 times the estimated bandwidth of the emission. The
RBW was to ≥ 1% of the estimated emission bandwidth. The trace was set to max hold with a
peak detector active. The Delta function of the analyzer was utilized to determine the 20 dB
bandwidth of the emission.

The 99% occupied bandwidth was measured with the spectrum analyzer span set to fully display
the emission. The RBW was close to 1% of the span without going below 1%. The trace was set
to max hold with a sample detector active. The occupied bandwidth measurement function of the
analyzer was used for the 99% bandwidth.

7.4.4.2    Measurement Results

Results are shown below in Table 7.4.4.2-1 and Figures 7.4.4.2-1 through 7.4.4.2-18.

7.5.1               Band-Edge Compliance of RF Conducted Emissions

7.5.1.1                  Measurement Procedure

The RF output port of the EUT was directly connected to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The
EUT was investigated at the lowest and highest channel available to determine band-edge
compliance. For each measurement the spectrum analyzer’s RBW was set to ≥ 1% of the span,
and the VBW was set to ≥ 3 times RBW.

Band-edge was evaluated for all combinations of modulations and data rates.

7.5.2            RF Conducted Spurious Emissions

7.5.2.1                Measurement Procedure

The RF output port of the EUT was directly connected to the input of the spectrum analyzer. The
EUT was investigated for conducted spurious emissions from 30MHz to 10GHz, 10 times the
highest fundamental frequency. Measurements were made at the low, center and high channels
of the EUT. For each measurement, the spectrum analyzer’s RBW was set to 100kHz. A peak
detector function was used with the trace set to max hold.

RF conducted spurious emissions were evaluated for all combinations of modulations and data
rates.

7.5.3        Radiated Spurious Emissions - FCC Section 15.205 IC: RSS-210 2.2

7.5.3.1       Measurement Procedure

Radiated emissions tests were made over the frequency range of 30MHz to 10GHz, 10 times the
highest fundamental frequency.

The EUT was rotated through 360° and the receive antenna height was varied from 1m to 4m so
that the maximum radiated emissions level would be detected. For frequencies below 1000MHz,
quasi-peak measurements were made using a resolution bandwidth RBW of 120 kHz and a video
bandwidth VBW of 300 kHz. For frequencies above 1000MHz, peak and average measurements
were made with RBW and VBW of 1 MHz and 3 MHz respectively.

The EUT was caused to generate a continuous carrier signal on the hopping channel.

Radiated spurious emissions were evaluated for all combinations of modulations and data rates
with worst case data provided. Worst case for FSK modulation was for 19.2 kbps data rate.

7.5.3.2       Measurement Results

Radiated spurious emissions found in the band of 30MHz to 10GHz are reported in the Tables
7.5.3.2-1 to 7.5.3.2-2 below.

7.5.3.3 Sample Calculation:
RC = RU + CFT

Where:
CFT         =           Total Correction Factor (AF+CA+AG)-DC (Average Measurements Only)
RU          =           Uncorrected Reading
RC          =           Corrected Level
AF          =           Antenna Factor
CA          =           Cable Attenuation
AG          =           Amplifier Gain
DC          =           Duty Cycle Correction Factor

Example Calculation: Peak
Corrected Level: 55.52 - 4.27 = 51.25dBuV/m
Margin: 74dBuV/m – 51.25dBuV/m = 22.8dB

Example Calculation: Average
Corrected Level: 53.21 - 4.27 – 0 = 48.94dBuV
Margin: 54dBuV – 48.94dBuV = 5.1dB
