Model(s): ITR9002 FCC ID: SK9ITR9002 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 15.203 The EUT utilizes an external omnidirectional antenna (Laird, P/N TRA9023P). When installed, the antenna is external to the host and is non-detachable. The gain of the antenna is +3dBi. 7.2 Power Line Conducted Emissions – FCC 15.207, ISED Canada: RSS-Gen 8.8 7.2.1 Measurement Procedure ANSI C63.10 section 6 was 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 = Corrected Reading – Applicable Limit 7.2.2 Measurement Results Performed by: Tyler Leeson Table 7.2.2-1: Conducted EMI Results Line 1 Corrected Reading Limit Margin Frequency (MHz) Quasi- Average Quasi-Peak Average Quasi-Peak Average Correction Peak (dBuV) (dBuV) (dBuV) (dB) (dB) (dB) (dBuV) 0.15 25.07 13.53 66 56 -40.93 -42.47 9.61 2.63 19.27 10.93 56 46 -36.73 -35.07 9.94 2.67 19.29 10.95 56 46 -36.71 -35.05 9.94 2.718 19.31 10.97 56 46 -36.69 -35.03 9.94 2.802 19.33 10.99 56 46 -36.67 -35.01 9.94 2.906 19.37 11.03 56 46 -36.63 -34.97 9.96 2.95 19.38 11.04 56 46 -36.62 -34.96 9.96 2.986 19.4 11.06 56 46 -36.6 -34.94 9.96 9.59 19.27 10.93 60 50 -40.73 -39.07 9.94 29.982 25.02 13.41 60 50 -34.98 -36.59 9.96 Report: AT72146019-1P0 TÜV SÜD America, Inc.

Model(s): ITR9002 FCC ID: SK9ITR9002 7.3 Emission Levels 7.3.1 Emissions into Restricted Frequency Bands – FCC: 15.205, 15.209 7.3.1.1 Measurement Procedure The unwanted emissions into restricted bands were measured radiated 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 1 meter to 4 meters so that the maximum radiated emissions level would be detected. For frequencies below 1000 MHz, quasi-peak measurements were made using a resolution bandwidth RBW of 120 kHz and a video bandwidth VBW of 300 kHz. For frequencies above 1000 MHz, peak and average measurements were made with RBW and VBW of 1 MHz and 3 MHz respectively. Each emission found to be in a restricted band as defined by section 15.205, including any emission at the operational band-edge, was compared to the radiated emission limits as defined in section 15.209. 7.3.1.2 Measurement Results Performed by: Tyler Leeson Table 7.3.1.2-1: Radiated Spurious Emissions Tabulated Data Level Antenna Correction Corrected Level Limit Margin Frequency (dBuV) Polarity Factors (dBuV/m) (dBuV/m) (dB) (MHz) pk Qpk/Avg (H/V) (dB) pk Qpk/Avg pk Qpk/Avg pk Qpk/Avg 902.25 MHz 5413.5 48.65 36.75 V 5.87 54.52 42.62 74.0 54.0 19.5 11.4 914.75 2744.25 48.80 35.94 V -2.37 46.43 33.57 74.0 54.0 27.6 20.4 4573.75 49.26 37.16 V 3.05 52.31 40.21 74.0 54.0 21.7 13.8 927.75 4638.75 49.33 36.37 V 3.34 52.67 39.71 74.0 54.0 21.3 14.3 Report: AT72146019-1P0 TÜV SÜD America, Inc.
