3.3 Test procedure and test setup

The measurement was applied in a semi-anechoic chamber. While testing for spurious
emission higher than 1GHz, if applied, the pre-amplifier would be equipped just at the output
terminal of the antenna.
The EUT and simulators were placed on a 0.8m high wooden turntable above the horizontal
metal ground plane. The turn table rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the
maximum emission level. The EUT was set 3 meters away from the receiving antenna which
was mounted on an antenna mast. The antenna moved up and down between from 1meter to
4 meters to find out the maximum emission level.

The radiated emission was measured using the Spectrum Analyzer with the resolutions
bandwidth set as:
RBW = 100kHz, VBW = 300kHz (30MHz~1GHz for PK)
RBW = 1MHz, VBW = 3MHz (>1GHz for PK);
RBW = 1MHz, VBW = 10Hz (>1GHz for AV);

Remark: 1. For fundamental emission test, no pre-amplifier is employed.
       2. The Pulse-repetition frequency for fundamental emission is higher than 20Hz.
          Therefore, the QP detector can be applied for fundamental emission test.
       3. Correct Factor = Antenna Factor + Cable Loss (-Amplifier, is employed)
       4. Corrected Reading = Original Receiver Reading + Correct Factor
       5. Margin = limit – Corrected Reading
       6. If the PK reading is lower than AV limit, the AV test can be elided.
       7. The shaded data is the fundamental emission.

Example: Assuming Antenna Factor = 30.20dB/m, Cable Loss = 2.00dB,
         Gain of Preamplifier = 32.00dB, Original Receiver Reading = 10dBuV.
         Then Correct Factor = 30.20 + 2.00 – 32.00 = 0.20dB/m; Corrected Reading =
         10dBuV + 0.20dB/m = 10.20dBuV/m
          Assuming limit = 54dBuV/m, Corrected Reading = 10.20dBuV/m, then Margin =
          54 -10.20 = 43.80dBuV/m

4. Assigned bandwidth (20dB bandwidth)

   Test result:      PASS


4.1 Limit

   Intentional radiators must be designed to ensure that the 20 dB bandwidth of the emission
   is contained within the allocated frequency band as clause 3.1 shows.
   If frequency stability is not specified in the regulations, it is recommended that the
   fundamental emission be kept within at least the central 80% of the permitted band in
   order to minimize the possibility of out-of-band operation.


4.2 Test Configuration


  See clause 3.2.


4.3 Test procedure and test setup

   The 20dB Bandwidth per FCC §15.215(c) is measured using the Spectrum Analyzer.

5.3 Test procedure and test set up

The EUT are connected to the main power through a line impedance stabilization network
(LISN). This provides a 50Ω/50uH coupling impedance for the measuring equipment. The
peripheral devices are also connected to the main power through a LISN that provides a
50Ω/50uH coupling impedance with 50Ω termination.
Both sides (Line and Neutral) of AC line are checked for maximum conducted interference.
In order to find the maximum emission, the relative positions of equipment and all of the
interface cables must be changed according to ANSI C63.4 on conducted measurement.
The bandwidth of the test receiver is set at 9 kHz.

Remark: 1. Correct Factor = Antenna Factor + Cable Loss (-Amplifier, is employed)
       2. Corrected Reading = Original Receiver Reading + Correct Factor
       3. Margin = limit – Corrected Reading
Example: Assuming Antenna Factor = 30.20dB/m, Cable Loss = 2.00dB,
         Original Receiver Reading = 10dBuV.
         Then Correct Factor = 30.20 + 2.00 = 32.20dB/m; Corrected Reading = 10dBuV +
         32.20dB/m = 42.20dBuV/m
          Assuming limit = 54dBuV/m, Corrected Reading = 42.20dBuV/m, then Margin =
          54 -42.20 = 11.80dBuV/m
