 General description:              The EUT‘s RF-signal is coupled out by a suitable antenna coupling connector (1). The
                                   signal is first attenuated (2) then connected to spectrum-analyzer (4) for RF-conducted
                                   measurements. The specific attenuation loss is determined prior to the measurement
                                   within a set-up attenuation measurement. These are then taken into account by correcting
                                   the measurement readings of the spectrum-analyzer.

                             range 150 kHz to 30 MHz has to be investigated. Compliance should be tested by
                             measuring the radio frequency voltage between each power line and ground at the
                             power terminals in the stated frequency range.
                             A 50 Ohm / 50 µH line impedance stabilization network (LISN) is used coupling the
                             interface to the measurement equipment. The EUT power input leads are connected
                             through the LISN to the AC-power source. The LISN enclosure is electrically
                             connected to the ground plane. The measuring instrument is connected to the coaxial
                             output of the LISN.
                             Tabletop devices were set-up on a 80 cm height above reference ground plane, floor
                             standing equipment 10 cm raised above ground plane. Measurements have been

                             EUT was power supplied with 120 V/60 Hz. The EUT was tested in the defined
                             operating mode and installed (connected) to accessory equipment according the
                             general description of use given by the applicant.

4.5. Test system set-up for radiated electric field measurement above 1 GHz
 Specification:              ANSI C63.4-2014 chapter 8.3

 General Description:        Evaluating the emissions have to be done first by an exploratory emissions
                             measurement and a final measurement for most critical frequencies. The tests are
                             performed in a CISPR 16-1-4:2010 compliant semi anechoic room (SAR) with the
                             ground covered with absorber recognized by the regulatory commission. The
                             measurement distance was set to 3 meter for frequencies up to 18 GHz and 2 meter
                             above 18 GHz. A logarithmic periodic antenna is used for the frequency range 30
                             MHz to 1 GHz. Horn antennas are used for frequency range 1 GHz to 40 GHz. The
                             EUT is aligned within 3 dB beam width of the measurement antenna with three
                             orthogonal axis measurements on the EUT.

                             The measurements are performed in horizontal         First a frequency zoom around the critical

                           The average time of occupancy on any channel shall not be greater than 0.4 seconds
  Remark
                           within a period of 0.4 seconds multiplied by the number of hopping channels employed.



5.3.3. EUT settings
For FHSS-systems hopping mode was switched-on so that occupancy time of Frequency Hopping channels
could be measured. The EUT was instructed to send with maximum power (if adjustable) according applicants
instructions. Different modulation characteristics have been checked, e.g. data rates which EUT can operate.


5.3.4. Measurement method:
The measurement was performed with a spectrum analyzer set to ZERO span. The device was set to work within
the defined specification with frequency Hopping Mode ON. The spectrum-analyzer was set the MAX-Hold
positive peak detector mode. The sweep time set as long as necessary to capture the full signal burst per hopping
channel. The burst on-period is captured by setting appropriate markers in the rising and falling edges.

The used correction factors when the measurement distance is reduced compared to regulatory measurement
distance. are calculated according Extrapolation formulas valid for EUT’s with maximum dimension of
0.625xLambda. Formula 2+3+4 as presented in ANSI C63.10. Chapter 6.4.4 are used for the calculations of
proper extrapolation factors.

5.7.4. Measurement Method
For uncritical results where a measurement resolution bandwidth of 1MHz can clearly show the compliance
without influencing the results. a field strength measurement was performed to show compliance.

For critical results a Marker-Delta marker method was used for showing compliance to restricted bands. The
method is according ANSI C63.10:2013. Chapter 6.10.6 “Marker-Delta method”.. The method consists of three
independent steps:
1. Step: Prior to the measurement the fundamental radiated In-Band field strength was performed. The determined
         value is used as reference value.
2. Step: Second step consist of finding the relative attenuation between the fundamental emission and the
         maximum local out-of-band emission (within 2 MHz range around the band edge either on the band-edge
         directly or some modulation product if the level is greater than that on the band-edge) when measured
         with lower resolution bandwidth.
3. Step: The delta value recorded in step 2 will be subtracted from value recorded in step 1. thus giving the required
         field strength at the band-edge. This value must fulfil the requirements for radiated spurious emissions in
         restricted bands in FCC §15.205 or RSS-Gen. Issue 4. Chapter 8.10. Table 6 with the general limits of
         FCC §15.209 or RSS-Gen. Issue 4 Chapter 8.9. Table 4.

5.7.5. EUT settings
The EUT was set in Hopping OFF as well as in Hopping ON modes with 20dBm at Low and Mid frequency and
at <0dBm at High frequency according to applicants instructions. The duty cycle for band edge measurements was
set to 100%.

5.8. Measurement uncertainties

The reported uncertainties are calculated based on the standard uncertainty multiplied with the appropriate
coverage factor k. such that a confidence level of approximately 95% is achieved.
For uncertainty determination. each component used in the concrete measurement set-up was taken in account and
it’s contribution to the overall uncertainty according it’s statistical distribution calculated.

Following table shows expectable uncertainties for each measurement type performed.
