7       Description of the test setup

7.1     Radiated measurements
The radiated measurements are performed in vertical and horizontal plane in the frequency range from 9 kHz to
1 GHz in semi-anechoic chambers. The EUT is positioned on a non-conductive support with a height of 0.80 m
above a conductive ground plane that covers the whole chamber. The receiving antennas are confirmed with
specifications ANSI C63. These antennas can be moved over the height range between 1.0 m and 4.0 m in
order to search for maximum field strength emitted from EUT. The measurement distances between EUT and
receiving antennas are indicated in the test setups for the various frequency ranges. For each measurement,
the EUT is rotated in all three axes until the maximum field strength is received. The wanted and unwanted
emissions are received by spectrum analysers where the detector modes and resolution bandwidths over
various frequency ranges are set according to requirement ANSI C63.

9     Measurement results

9.1   Timing of the transmitter


Limits:


                         FCC                                                        IC

                                            Timing of the transmitter

   (c) Unless otherwise specified, e.g. Section 15.255(b), when the radiated emission limits are expressed in
      terms of the average value of the emission, and pulsed operation is employed, the measurement field
 strength shall be determined by averaging over one complete pulse train, including blanking intervals, as long
     as the pulse train does not exceed 0.1 seconds. As an alternative (provided the transmitter operates for
 longer than 0.1 seconds) or in cases where the pulse train exceeds 0.1 seconds, the measured field strength
    shall be determined from the average absolute voltage during a 0.1 second interval during which the field
       strength is at its maximum value. The exact method of calculating the average field strength shall be
 submitted with any application for certification or shall be retained in the measurement data file for equipment
                                       subject to notification or verification.



Duty cycle of the sample with test mode: 100 %

In normal use the duty cycle is approximately 100% (declared by the manufacturer).



Result: Passed
