2.3 Radiated Emissions Test Site Description

2.3.1 Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site
The Semi-Anechoic Chamber Test Site consists of a 20’ x 30’ x 18’ shielded enclosure. The
chamber is lined with Toyo Ferrite Grid Absorber, model number FFG-1000. The ferrite tile grid is
101 x 101 x 19mm thick and weighs approximately 550 grams. These tiles are mounted on steel
panels and installed directly on the inner walls of the chamber.

The turntable is 150cm in diameter and is located 160cm from the back wall of the chamber. The
chamber is grounded via 1 - 8’ copper ground rod, installed at the center of the back wall, it is
bound to the ground plane using 3/4" stainless steel braided cable.

The turntable is all steel, flush mounted table installed in an all steel frame. The table is remotely
operated from inside the control room located 25’ from the range. The turntable is electrically
bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of the turn table.
The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation.

Behind the turntable is a 3’ x 6’ x 4’ deep shielded pit used for support equipment if necessary.
The pit is equipped with 1 - 4” PVC chases from the turntable to the pit that allow for cabling to
the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit so cables can
be supplied to the EUT from the pit.

2.3.2 Open Area Tests Site (OATS)
The open area test site consists of a 40’ x 66’ concrete pad covered with a perforated electro-
plated galvanized sheet metal. The perforations in the sheet metal are 1/8” holes that are
staggered every 3/16”. The individual sheets are placed to overlap each other by 1/4” and are
riveted together to provide a continuous seam. Rivets are spaced every 3” in a 3 x 20 meter
perimeter around the antenna mast and EUT area. Rivets in the remaining area are spaced as
necessary to properly secure the ground plane and maintain the electrical continuity.

The entire ground plane extends 12’ beyond the turntable edge and 16’ beyond the antenna mast
when set to a 10 meter measurement distance. The ground plane is grounded via 4 - 8’ copper
ground rods, each installed at a corner of the ground plane and bound to the ground plane using
3/4" stainless steel braided cable.

The turntable is an all aluminum 10’ flush mounted table installed in an all aluminum frame. The
table is remotely operated from inside the control room located 40’ from the range. The turntable
is electrically bonded to the surrounding ground plane via steel fingers installed on the edge of
the turn table. The steel fingers make constant contact with the ground plane during operation.

Adjacent to the turntable is a 7’ x 7’ square and 4’ deep concrete pit used for support equipment if
necessary. The pit is equipped with 5 - 4” PVC chases from the pit to the control room that allow
for cabling to the EUT if necessary. The underside of the turntable can be accessed from the pit
so cables can be supplied to the EUT from the pit. The pit is covered with 2 sheets of 1/4"
diamond style re-enforced steel sheets. The sheets are painted to match the perforated steel
ground plane; however the underside edges have been masked off to maintain the electrical
continuity of the ground plane. All reflecting objects are located outside of the ellipse defined in
ANSI C63.4.

7.3 Radiated Emissions – Intentional Radiation

7.3.1 In-Band Emissions Limitations – FCC CFR 47 Part 15.225(a),(b),(c)

7.3.1.1 Test Methodology
Measurements below 30MHz were performed in a semi-anechoic chamber with a 3 meter separation
distance between the EUT and measurement antenna. The EUT was rotated 360º and the loop antenna
rotated about the vertical axis to maximize each emission. The magnetic loop receiving antenna was
positioned with its center 1 meter above the ground.

The spectrum analyzer’s resolution and video bandwidths were set to 9 kHz and 30 kHz respectively. A
peak detector was used which shows worst case. The measurements were corrected by a distance
correction factor, antenna correction factors, and cable loss for comparison to the limits. Sample
correction factors and calculations can be found section 7.3.2.2 and 7.3.2.4.

7.3.1.2 Test Results
Compliance with the emissions levels are shown in figure 7.3.1-1 and 7.3.1-2 below.

7.3.2 Out-of-Band Emission Limitations – FCC CFR 47 Part 15.225(d) / 15.209

7.3.2.1 Test Methodology
Section 15.33(a)(4) specifies, if the intentional radiator contains a digital device, regardless of whether
this digital device controls the functions of the intentional radiator or the digital device is used for
additional control or function purposes other than to enable the operation of the intentional radiator, the
frequency range shall be investigated up to frequency specified in 15.33(b)(1) for unintentional radiators.
The upper frequency range for the digital device is 1000MHz which greater than the 10th harmonic of the
fundamental frequency. The upper frequency range measured was 1000MHz.

Measurements below 30MHz were performed in a semi-anechoic chamber with a 3 meter separation
distance between the EUT and measurement antenna. The EUT was rotated 360º and the loop antenna
rotated about the vertical axis to maximize each emission. The magnetic loop receiving antenna was
positioned with its center 1 meter above the ground.

For measurements in the frequency bands 9-90 kHz and 110-490 kHz, an average detector was used.
When average measurements are specified, the peak emissions were also compared to a limit
corresponding to 20 dB above the maximum permitted average limit according to Part 15.35. All other
emissions were measured using a Quasi-peak detector. The final measurements were then corrected by
a distance correction factor, antenna correction factors, and cable loss for comparison to the limits.

Measurements above 30MHz were performed in a semi-anechoic chamber with a 3 meter separation
distance between the EUT and measurement antenna. The EUT was rotated through 360° and the
receive antenna height was varied from 1m to 4m so that the maximum radiated emissions level would be
detected. For frequencies below 1000MHz, quasi-peak measurements were made.

The spectrum analyzer’s resolution bandwidth was set to equal to or greater than 100 Hz from 9 kHz to
150 kHz, 9 kHz from 150 kHz to 30 MHz, 120 kHz from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz, and 1 MHz from 1 GHz to
40 GHz.

7.3.2.2 Distance Correction for Measurements Below 30 MHz – Part 15.31
Radiated measurements were performed at a distance closer than 30m as required according to Part
15.209. Therefore a correction factor was applied to account for propagation loss at the specified
distance. The propagation loss was determined by using the square of an inverse linear distance
extrapolation factor (40dB/decade) according to 15.31. A sample calculation of the distance correction
factor is shown below for limits expressed at a 30m measurement distance.

Distance correction factor (30m Specified Test Distance) = 40*Log (Test Distance/30)
= 40*Log (3/30)
= - 40 dB

7.3.2.3 Test Results
Radiated spurious emissions found are reported in Tables 7.3.2-1.

7.3.2.4 Sample Calculation:
Example Calculation – Average/Quasi-Peak Limit < 30MHz

Limit (dBuV/m) = 20*log(30) - Distance Correction Factor (Section 7.3.2.2)
Limit (dBuV/m) = 29.5 + 40
Limit (dBuV/m) = 69.5

RC = RU + CFT

Where:
CFT = Total Correction Factor (AF+CA+AG)
RU = Uncorrected Reading
RC = Corrected Level
AF = Antenna Factor
CA = Cable Attenuation
AG = Amplifier Gain

Corrected Level: 26.94 + 10.01 = 36.96dBuV
Margin: 69.5dBuV – 36.96dBuV = 32.54dB

7.5 Frequency Stability – FCC CFR 47 Part 15.225

7.5.1 Test Methodology
The equipment under test is placed inside an environmental chamber. The RF output is coupled to the
input of the measurement equipment via a near field probe.

Frequency measurements were made at the extremes of the of temperature range -20º C to +50º C and
at intervals of 10º C at normal supply voltage. A period of time sufficient to stabilize all components of
the equipment was allowed at each frequency measurement. At a temperature 20º C the supply voltage
was varied from 85% to 115% from the normal. The maximum variation of frequency was recorded.

The limit from rule part 15.225 is 0.01% or 100ppm.
