2.3. Test Procedures
Radiated emissions from the EUT were measured according to the DA 00-705 and ANSI C63.4:2003

2.3.1. Test Procedures for Radiated Spurious Emissions

1. The EUT was placed on the top of a rotating table 0.8 meters above the ground at a 3 meter anechoic chamber test
site. The table was rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the highest radiation.
2. During performing radiated emission below 1 ㎓, the EUT was set 3 meters away from the interference receiving
antenna, which was mounted on the top of a variable-height antenna tower. During performing radiated emission
above 1 ㎓, the EUT was set 3 meter away from the interference-receiving antenna.
3. The antenna is a broadband antenna, and its height is varied from one meter to four meters above the ground to
determine the maximum value of the field strength. Both horizontal and vertical polarizations of the antenna are set
to make the measurement.
4. For each suspected emission, the EUT was arranged to its worst case and then the antenna was tuned to heights
from 1 meter to 4 meters and the table was turned from 0 degrees to 360 degrees to find the maximum reading.
5. The test-receiver system was set to Peak Detect Function and Specified Bandwidth with Maximum Hold Mode.
6. If the emission level of the EUT in peak mode was 10 ㏈ lower than the limit specified, then testing could be
stopped and the peak values of the EUT would be reported. Otherwise the emissions that did not have 10 ㏈
margin would be re-tested one by one using peak, quasi-peak or average method as specified and then reported in
a data sheet.

NOTE ;
1. The resolution bandwidth and video bandwidth of test receiver/spectrum analyzer is 120 ㎑ for Quasi-peak
detection (QP) at frequency below 1 ㎓.
2. The resolution bandwidth and video bandwidth of test receiver/spectrum analyzer is 1㎒ for Peak detection and
frequency above 1 ㎓.
3. The resolution bandwidth of test receiver/spectrum analyzer is 1 ㎒ and the video bandwidth is 10 Hz for Average
detection (AV) at frequency above 1 ㎓.

2.3.2. Test Procedures for Conducted Spurious Emissions

1. The transmitter output was connected to the spectrum analyzer.
2. The reference level of the fundamental frequency was measured with the spectrum analyzer using RBW=100 ㎑,
VBW=300 ㎑.
3. The conducted spurious emission was performed using the spectrum analyzer’s spurious measurement function
from 30 MHz to 25 GHz with the 11 sub measurement ranges.(Detail ranges are listed on the measurement plots)
The following spectrum settings was used for each measurement rages.
RBW=100 ㎑, VBW=300 ㎑, SWEEP TIME = AUTO, DETECTOR = PEAK, TRACE = MAX HOLD.
