                       1.       The EUT and supporting equipment were set up in accordance with the requirements of the standard
                                on top of a 1.5m X 1.0m X 0.8m high, non-metallic table.
                       2.       The filtered power supply for the EUT and supporting equipment were tapped from the appropriate
   Test Setup                   power sockets located on the turntable.
                       3.       The relevant loop antenna was set at the required test distance away from the EUT and supporting
                                equipment boundary.

                       For < 30MHz, Radiated emissions were measured according to ANSI C63.10. The EUT was set to transmit at
                       the highest output power.
    Procedure          The EUT was set 3 meter away from the measuring antenna. The loop antenna was positioned 1 meter above
                       the ground from the centre of the loop. The measuring bandwidth was set to 10 kHz.
                       The limit is converted from microvolt/meter to decibel microvolt/meter.

    Test Setup




                        1.        The EUT was switched on and allowed to warm up to its normal operating condition.
                        2.        The test was carried out at the selected frequency points obtained from the EUT characterisation.
                                  Maximization of the emissions, was carried out by rotating the EUT, changing the antenna
                                  polarization, and adjusting the antenna height in the following manner:
                                  a.         Vertical or horizontal polarisation (whichever gave the higher emission level over a full
    Procedure                                rotation of the EUT) was chosen.
                                  b.         The EUT was then rotated to the direction that gave the maximum emission.

    Test Setup




                          1.            The EUT was switched on and allowed to warm up to its normal operating condition.
                          2.            The test was carried out at the selected frequency points obtained from the EUT characterisation.
                                        Maximization of the emissions, was carried out by rotating the EUT, changing the antenna polarization,
                                        and adjusting the antenna height in the following manner:
                                        a.        Vertical or horizontal polarisation (whichever gave the higher emission level over a full
    Procedure                                     rotation of the EUT) was chosen.
                                        b.        The EUT was then rotated to the direction that gave the maximum emission.
                                        c.        Finally, the antenna height was adjusted to the height that gave the maximum emission.
                          3.            An average measurement was then made for that frequency point.
                          4.            Steps 2 and 3 were repeated for the next frequency point, until all selected frequency points were
                                        measured.
                          The EUT was scanned up to 25GHz. Both horizontal and vertical polarities were investigated. The results

    Test Setup




                       Measurement using a Power Meter (PM)

                       Measurements may be performed using a wideband gated RF power meter provided that the gate parameters
                       are adjusted such that the power is measured only when the EUT is transmitting at its maximum power control
                       level. Since the measurement is made only during the ON time of the transmitter, no duty cycle correction factor
  Test Procedure       is required.
                             - Connect EUT’s RF output power to power meter
                             - Set EUT to be continuous transmission mode
                             - Measurement the average output power using power meter and record the result
                             - Repeat above steps for different test channel and other modulation type.
                                                                                      Temperature                     23ºC
