Purpose of test
The purpose of the tests is to verify compliance to the performance characteristics specified in
applicable items of FCC CFR 47 Industry Canada RSS-133 and RSS-Gen.

Operation modes during measurements
WCDMA measurements were performed with the test object transmitting the Test model 1
which are defined in 3GPP TS 25.141. Test model 1 (TM1) represent QPSK modulation. Test
model 5 (TM5) includes the 16QAM modulation and Test model 6 (TM6) includes the
64QAM modulation.

GSM measurements were performed with the test object transmitting following modulations:
GMSK, AQPSK, 8-PSK.
Unless otherwise stated, all measurements were performed with the test object transmitting
pseudorandom data in all timeslots and settings for maximum transmitter output power
applicable for each configuration.

The measured configurations covers worst case settings.

Conducted measurements
The test object was supplied with -48 VDC by an external power supply. Additional
connections are documented in the set-up drawings for conducted measurements.

Radiated measurements
The test object was powered with -48 VDC by an external power supply. Additional
connections are documented in the set-up drawings for radiated measurements.

Test set-up and procedure

The measurements were made per definition in §24.238. The output was connected to a
spectrum analyzer with a RBW setting of 1 MHz and RMS detector activated. The spectrum
analyzer was connected to an external 10 MHz reference standard during the measurements.

Before comparing the results to the limit, 6 dB [10 log (4)] to cover 2x(2x2) MIMO, should
be added according to method c “measure and add 10 log(NANT)” of FCC KDB662911 D01

Note: Measurements were mainly limited to port RF B due to electrical identical ports
as declared by the client.

Remark

The emission at 9 kHz on the plots was not generated by the test object. A complementary
measurement with a smaller RBW showed that it was related to the LO feed-through.

The highest fundamental frequency is 1990 MHz. The measurements were made up to 20 GHz
(10x1990 MHz = 19900 MHz).


Limits

CFR 47 §24.238 and RSS-133 6.5

Outside a licensee's frequency band(s) of operation the power of any emission shall be
attenuated below the transmitter power (P) by at least 43 + 10 log (P) dB, resulting in a limit of
-13 dBm per 1 MHz RBW.

The test site conform to the site validation criterion specified in ANSI C63.4 2014. The test
site complies with RSS-Gen, Industry Canada file no. 3482A-1.

The measurements were performed with both horizontal and vertical polarization of the
antenna. The antenna distance was 3 m in the frequency range 30 MHz – 18 GHz and 1 m
in the frequency range 18 GHz – 20 GHz.

RF absorbers were covering a floor area in the frequency range 1 GHz – 18 GHz to comply
with site validation requirements according to ANSI C63.4-2014.

The EUT was placed 0.8 m above reference ground plane in frequency range 30 MHz – 1
GHz and 1.5 m above reference ground plane in frequency range 1 GHz – 20 GHz.

The measurement was performed with a RBW of 1 MHz.

A propagation loss in free space was calculated. The used formula was
            4 D  , is the propagation loss and is the antenna distance.

The measurement procedure was as the following:
1. A pre-measurement is performed with peak detector. For measurement < 1 GHz the
    test object was measured in eight directions with the antenna at three heights, 1.0 m,
    1.5 m and 2.0 m. For measurements > 1 GHz the test object was measured in seventeen
    directions with the antenna height 1.0 m, 1.5 m and 2m.
2. Spurious radiation on frequencies closer than 20 dB to the limit in the pre-measurement
    is scanned 0-360 degrees and the antenna is scanned 1- 4 m for maximum response.
    The emission is then measured with the RMS detector and the RMS value is reported.
    Frequencies closer than 10 dB to the limit when measured with the RMS detector were
    measured with the substitution method according to ANSI 63.26.
