7           Description of the test setup
Typically, the calibrations of the test apparatus are commissioned to and performed by an accredited calibration
laboratory. The calibration intervals are determined in accordance with the DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. In addition to
the external calibrations, the laboratory executes comparison measurements with other calibrated test systems
or effective verifications. Weekly chamber inspections and range calibrations are performed. Where possible, RF
generating and signaling equipment as well as measuring receivers and analyzers are connected to an external
high-precision 10 MHz reference (GPS-based or rubidium frequency standard).

In order to simplify the identification of the equipment used at some special tests, some items of test equipment
and ancillaries can be provided with an identifier or number in the equipment list below (Lab/Item).

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).
