Model: C2SOD-P FCC ID: SK9PLC-1 IC: 864G-PLC1 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 2.3.1-1 below: 3 Meters 5 Feet Diameter 20 Feet 30 Feet Figure 2.3.1-1: Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site ACS Report: 09-0246-15C Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 5

Model: C2SOD-P FCC ID: SK9PLC-1 IC: 864G-PLC1 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 2.3.2-2 below: 10 3 Meters 40 7x7x4 Pit 66 Feet Figure 2.3.2-2: Open Area Test Site ACS Report: 09-0246-15C Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 6

Measurements of the radiated field strength were made at a distance of 3m from the boundary of the equipment under test (EUT) and the receiving antenna. The antenna height was varied from 1m to 4m so that the maximum radiated emissions level would be detected. Radiated measurements above 30MHz and below 1GHz were made with the Spectrum Analyzer’s resolution bandwidth set to 120 KHz using a Quasi-peak detector. Above 1GHz, peak and average measurements are taken with the RBW and VBW were set to 1MHz and 3MHz respectively. 7.3.2 Test Results Results of the test are given in Table 7.3.2-1 to 7.3.2-2.

All antenna types were evaluated. Because the upper band-edge coincides with a restricted band, band- edge compliance for the upper band-edge was determined using the radiated mark-delta method as outlined in FCC DA 00-705. The radiated field strength of the fundamental emission was first determined and then the mark-delta method was used to determine the field strength of the band-edge emissions. The lower band-edge compliance was determined using the marker-delta method in which the radio frequency power that is produced by the EUT is at least 20 dB below that in the 100 kHz bandwidth within the band that contains the highest level of desired power. 7.6.1.2 Test Results Band-edge compliance is displayed in Tables 7.6.1.2-1 - 7.6.1.2-2 and Figure 7.6.1.2-1 – 7.6.1.2-3.

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 made with RBW and VBW of 1 MHz. The average emissions were further corrected by applying the duty cycle correction of the EUT to the average measurements for comparison to the average limit. Each emission found to be in a restricted band as defined by section 15.205, was compared to the radiated emission limits as defined in section 15.209. 7.6.3.2 Duty Cycle Correction For average radiated measurements, the measured level was reduced by a factor 11.37dB to account for the duty cycle of the EUT. The packet transmissions length is 27ms. The duty cycle correction factor is determined using the formula: 20log (.27/100) = 11.37dB. A detailed analysis of the duty cycle timing is provided in the Theory of Operation of the original filing. 7.6.3.3 Test Results Radiated spurious emissions found in the band of 30MHz to 25GHz for Meter Forms 1S and 2S are reported in Tables 7.6.3.3-1 to 7.6.3.3-2. Emissions not reported were below the noise floor of the measurement instrumentation.

Model: C2SOD-P FCC ID: SK9PLC-1 IC: 864G-PLC1 7.7 Peak Power Spectral Density- FCC Section 15.247(e) IC: RSS-210 A8.2(b) 7.7.1 Test Methodology The power spectral density was measured in accordance with the FCC KDB Publication No. 558074 “Guidance on Measurements for Digital Transmission Systems (47 CFR 15.247)”. The emission peaks within the pass band were located and zoomed in on. The spectrum analyzer RBW was set to 3 kHz and VBW 10 kHz. Span was adjusted to 200 kHz and the sweep time was calculated to be 68s (Span/3 kHz). 7.7.2 Test Results Results are shown below in table 7.7.2-1 and figures 7.7.2-1 – 7.7.2-3: Table 7.7.2-1: Peak Power Spectral Density Frequency PSD Level (MHz) (dBm) 2405 2.98 2440 1.55 2475 1.31 * RBW 3 kHz Marker 1 [T1 ] VBW 10 kHz 2.98 dBm Ref 20 dBm Att 40 dB * SWT 68 s 2.404530000 GHz 20 Offset 10.8 dB * B 10 1 1 PK VIEW 0 LVL -10 -20 -30 -40 -50 -60 -70 -80 Center 2.40452 GHz 20 kHz/ Span 200 kHz Date: 10.JUL.2009 10:06:26 Figure 7.7.2-1: Power Spectral Density Plot – Low Channel ACS Report: 09-0246-15C Advanced Compliance Solutions Page 30
