NOTE:
1. Radiated emission is not performed since alternative method to radiated measurement is used in original test report
   as below:
   “50Ω terminator is connected to antenna port of EUT for radiated emission measurement and Antenna-port
   conducted emission”
   Thus, radiated emission with antenna is not performed.
2. Antenna-port conducted emission and maximum output power test values refer to original test report. The test
   results need to be re-calculated since highest antenna gain of additional antenna is higher than original antenna.
