Testing NVLAP Lab Code 200087-0 Applicable Standards & Test Procedures In accordance with the e-CFR Code of Federal Regulations Title 47, dated November 14, 2017: Part 2, Subpart J, Paragraphs 2.907, 2.911, 2.913, 2.925, 2.926, 2.1031 through 2.1057, and applicable parts of paragraph 15, Part 15C Paragraph 15.249, Industry Canada RSS-210 issue 9, and RSS-GEN issue 4 operation in the 900-928 MHz Frequency band. Test procedures used are the established Methods of Measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions as described in ANSI C63.10-2013. Testing Procedures AC Line Conducted Emission Test Procedure Testing for the AC line-conducted emissions was performed as required in 47CFR 15C, RSS-210 and specified in ANSI C63.10-2013. The EUT battery must be recharged using the provided WPT station. Power for the WPT station is provided from compliant USB power source. The test setup, including the EUT, was arranged in the test configurations as presented during testing. The test configuration was placed on a 1 x 1.5-meter bench, 0.8 meters high located in a screen room. The power lines of the system were isolated from the power source using a standard LISN with a 50-µHy choke. EMI was coupled to the spectrum analyzer through a 0.1 µF capacitor internal to the LISN. The LISN was positioned on the floor beneath the wooden bench supporting the EUT. The power lines and cables were draped over the back edge of the table. Refer to diagram one showing typical test arrangement and photographs in exhibits for EUT placement used during testing. Radiated Emission Test Procedure Radiated emissions testing was performed as required in 47CFR 15C, RSS-210 and specified in ANSI C63.10-2013. The EUT was placed on a rotating 0.9 x 1.2-meter platform, elevated as required above the ground plane at a distance of 3 meters from the FSM antenna. EMI energy was maximized by equipment placement permitting orientation in three orthogonal axes, raising and lowering the FSM antenna, changing the antenna polarization, and by rotating the turntable. Each emission was maximized before data was taken and recorded. The frequency spectrum from 9 kHz to 25,000 MHz was searched for emissions during preliminary investigation. Refer to diagrams two and three showing typical test setup. Refer to photographs in the test setup exhibits for specific EUT placement during testing. Rogers Labs, Inc.

Testing NVLAP Lab Code 200087-0 Restricted Bands of Operation Spurious emissions falling in the restricted frequency bands of operation were measured at the OATS. The EUT utilizes frequency, determining circuitry, which generates harmonics falling in the restricted bands. Emissions were investigated at the OATS, using appropriate antennas or pyramidal horns, amplification stages, and a spectrum analyzer. Peak and average amplitudes of frequencies above 1000 MHz were compared to the required limits with worst-case data presented below. Test procedures of ANSI C63.10-2013 paragraph 6 and KDB 558074 paragraph 12 were used during testing. No other significant emission was observed which fell into the restricted bands of operation. Computed emission values consider the received radiated field strength, receive antenna correction factor, amplifier gain stage, and test system cable losses.

Testing NVLAP Lab Code 200087-0 AC Line Conducted Emissions Procedure The EUT was arranged in typical equipment configurations for AC Line Conducted emissions testing. The design provides replaceable battery operation as well as use with AC adapter. An AC/DC power adapter was used to power the EUT for AC Line Conducted emissions testing. Testing was performed with the EUT placed on a 1 x 1.5-meter wooden bench 80 cm above the conducting ground plane, floor of a screen room. The bench was positioned 40 cm away from the wall of the screen room. The LISN was positioned on the floor of the screen room 80-cm from the rear of the EUT. Testing for the line-conducted emissions were the procedures of ANSI C63.10-2013 paragraph 6. The AC adapter for the EUT was connected to the LISN for line- conducted emissions testing. A second LISN was positioned on the floor of the screen room 80-cm from the rear of the supporting equipment of the EUT. All power cords except the EUT were then powered from the second LISN. EMI was coupled to the spectrum analyzer through a 0.1 µF capacitor, internal to the LISN. Power line conducted emissions testing was carried out individually for each current carrying conductor of the EUT. The excess length of lead between the system and the LISN receptacle was folded back and forth to form a bundle not exceeding 40 cm in length. The screen room, conducting ground plane, analyzer, and LISN were bonded together to the protective earth ground. Preliminary testing was performed to identify the frequencies of each of the emissions, which demonstrated the highest amplitudes. The cables were repositioned to obtain maximum amplitude of measured EMI level. Once the worst-case configuration was identified, plots were made of the EMI from 0.15 MHz to 30 MHz then data was recorded with maximum conducted emissions levels. Refer to figures one through two showing plots of the AC/DC power adapter configuration AC Line conducted emissions. Rogers Labs, Inc.

Testing NVLAP Lab Code 200087-0 General Radiated Emissions Procedure The EUT was arranged in a typical equipment configuration and operated through all available mode during testing. Preliminary testing was performed in a screen room with the EUT positioned 1 meter from the FSM. Radiated emissions measurements were performed to identify the frequencies, which produced the highest emissions. Each radiated emission was then maximized at the OATS location before final radiated measurements were performed. Final data was taken with the EUT located on the OATS at 3 meters distance between the EUT and the receiving antenna. The frequency spectrum from 9 kHz to 10,000 MHz was searched for general radiated emissions. Measured emission levels were maximized by EUT placement on the table, rotating the turntable through 360 degrees, varying the antenna height between 1 and 4 meters above the ground plane and changing antenna position between horizontal and vertical polarization. Antennas used were Loop from 9 kHz to 30 MHz, Broadband Biconical from 30 to 200 MHz, Biconilog from 30 to 1000 MHz, Log Periodic from 200 MHz to 1 GHz and or double Ridge or pyramidal horns and mixers above 1 GHz, notch filters and appropriate amplifiers and external mixers were utilized.

Summary of Results for General Radiated Emissions The EUT demonstrated compliance with the radiated emissions requirements of CFR47 Part 15C paragraph 15.209, RSS-210 and RSS-GEN Intentional Radiators. The EUT demonstrated a minimum margin of -3.7 dB below the requirements. Other emissions were present with amplitudes at least 20 dB below the Limits. Rogers Labs, Inc.

Testing NVLAP Lab Code 200087-0 Operation in the Band 902-928 MHz The transmitter output power; harmonics and general radiated emissions were measured on an open area test site @ 3 meters distance. The EUT was placed on a turntable elevated as required above the ground plane at a distance of 3 meters from the Field Strength Measuring (FSM) antenna. The peak and quasi-peak amplitude of frequencies below 1000 MHz were measured using a EMI receiver/spectrum analyzer. The peak and average amplitude of frequencies above 1000 MHz were measured using a EMI receiver/spectrum analyzer. The amplitude of each emission was then recorded from the EMI receiver/spectrum analyzer display. Emissions radiated outside of the specified bands, except for harmonics, shall be attenuated by at least 50 dB below the level of the fundamental or to the general radiated emission limits, whichever is the lesser attenuation. Antenna port emission plots were taken of transmitter performance for reference in this and other documentation. The amplitude of each radiated emission was measured on the OATS at a distance of 3 meters from the FSM antenna. Testing was performed on a sample representative of production with integral antenna with worse case data provided. The amplitude of each radiated emission was maximized by equipment orientation and placement on the turn table, raising and lowering the FSM antenna, changing the FSM antenna polarization, and by rotating the turntable. A Loop antenna was used for measuring emissions from 0.009 to 30 MHz, Biconilog Antenna for 30 to 1000 MHz, Double-Ridge, and/or Pyramidal Horn Antennas from 1 GHz to 10 GHz. Emissions were measured in dBµV/m @ 3 meters. Refer to figures three through seven showing plots taken of transmitter performance for reference. Rogers Labs, Inc.
