2 Operational States

Description of function of the EUT:
        The EUT is a UHF RFID reader with a digital I/O and an Ethernet port, which also can be used for power
        supply (PoE).

The following states were defined as the operating conditions:
        During all tests the EUT was connected to a laptop PC with a operation software (SOPAS, provided by the
        applicant) and a light barrier. With a special part of the software, which will be not available for the final
        customer, the intentional part of the EUT could be set to continuous receiving mode on a fixed channel.
        During this mode the EUT transmits the several receiving parameters (level, RSSI…) via Ethernet to the PC
        and these values were displayed. Furthermore the light barrier was active.

        Because the EUT could be also supplied via PoE, the AC powerline conducted measurement was carried
        out while the EUT was supplied by an PoE-injector.

3 Additional Information
This test report documents the results of the measurements of the digital part of the EUT. The results of the
intentional radiator part of the EUT were documented under PHOENIX TESTLAB GmbH test report reference
F181673E3.

During the tests the EUT was not labelled as required by FCC / IC.

Remark: As declared by the applicant the highest frequency is the wanted signal of the intentional radiator part of
                                                                                                             th
        the EUT (927.250 MHz). Therefore the radiated emission measurement must be carried out up to 5 of
        the highest internal frequency in this case 5 GHz.

5.1      Conducted emissions on power supply lines

5.1.1      Test method
This test will be carried out in a shielded chamber. Table top devices will set up on a non-conducting support with
a size of 1 m by 1.5 m and a height of 80 cm above the ground plane. Floor-standing devices will be placed
directly on the ground plane. The setup of the Equipment under test will be in accordance to [1].

The frequency range 150 kHz to 30 MHz will be measured with an EMI Receiver set to MAX Hold mode with peak
and average detector and a resolution bandwidth of 9 kHz. A scan will be carried out on the phase (or plus pole in
case of DC powered devices) of the AC mains network. If levels detected 10 dB below the appropriable limit, this
emission will be measured with the average and quasi-peak detector on all lines.

Procedure preliminary measurement:

Prescans were performed in the frequency range 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
The following procedure will be used:
    1. Monitor the frequency range at horizontal polarisation and a EUT azimuth of 0 °.
    2. Rotate the EUT by 360° to maximize the detected signals.
    3. Repeat 1) to 2) with the vertical polarisation of the measuring antenna.
    4. Make a hardcopy of the spectrum.
    5. Repeat 1) to 4) with the EUT raised by an angle of 30° (60°, 90°, 120° and 150°) [1].
    6. Measure the frequency of the detected emissions with a lower span and resolution bandwidth to increase
         the accuracy and note the frequency value.
    7. The measurement antenna polarisation, with the according EUT position (Turntable and Turn device)
         which produces the highest emission for each frequency will be used for the final measurement. The six
         closest values to the applicable limit will be used for the final measurement.


Final measurement (30 MHz to 1 GHz)

A final measurement on an open area test site will be performed on selected frequencies found in the preliminary
measurement. During this test the EUT will be rotated in the range of
0 ° to 360 °, the measuring antenna will be set to horizontal and vertical polarization and raised and lowered in the
range from 1 m to 4 m to find the maximum level of emissions.

The resolution bandwidth of the EMI Receiver will be set to the following values:

                             Frequency range                                   Resolution bandwidth

Procedure preliminary measurement:

Prescans were performed in the frequency range 1 to 40 GHz.
The following procedure will be used:
    8. Monitor the frequency range at horizontal polarisation and a EUT azimuth of 0 °.
    9. Rotate the EUT by 360° to maximize the detected signals.
    10. Repeat 1) to 2) with the vertical polarisation of the measuring antenna.
    11. Make a hardcopy of the spectrum.
    12. Repeat 1) to 4) with the EUT raised by an angle of 30° (60°, 90°, 120° and 150°) .
    13. Measure the frequency of the detected emissions with a lower span and resolution bandwidth to increase
         the accuracy and note the frequency value.
    14. The measurement antenna polarisation, with the according EUT position (Turntable and Turn device)
         which produces the highest emission for each frequency will be used for the final measurement. The six
         closest values to the applicable limit will be used for the final measurement.

Final measurement (1 GHz to 40 GHz)

The frequency range will be divided into different sub ranges depending of the frequency range of the used
antenna. The EMI Receiver set to peak and average mode and a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz. The
measurement will be performed by rotating the turntable through 0 to 360° in the worst-case EUT orientation
which was obtained during the preliminary measurements.

The resolution bandwidth of the EMI Receiver will be set to the following values:

                                    Frequency range                                  Resolution bandwidth
                                    1 GHz to 4 GHz                                          1 MHz
                                   4 GHz to 12 GHz                                          1 MHz
                                   12 GHz to 18 GHz                                         1 MHz
                                  18 GHz to 26.5 GHz                                        1 MHz
                                  26.5 GHz to 40 GHz                                        1 MHz

Procedure of measurement:

The measurements were performed in the frequency range 1 GHz to 40 GHz.
The following procedure will be used:
   1) Set the turntable and the turn device to obtain the worst-case emission for the first frequency identified in
         the preliminary measurements.
   2) Set the measurement antenna polarisation to the orientation with the highest emission for the first
         frequency identified in the preliminary measurements.
   3) Set the spectrum analyser to EMI mode with peak and average detector activated.
   4) Rotate the turntable from 0° to 360° to find the EUT angle that produces the highest emissions.
   5) Note the highest displayed peak and average values
   6) Repeat the steps 1) to 5) for each frequency detected during the preliminary measurements.

The results of the standard subsequent measurement on the open area test site are indicated in the table below. The
limits as well as the measured results (levels) refer to the above mentioned standard while taking account of the
specified requirements for a 3 m measuring distance.


The correction factor was calculated as follows.

Corr. (dB) = cable attenuation (dB) + 6 dB attenuator (dB) + antenna factor (dB)

Therefore the reading can be calculated as follows:

Reading (dBµV/m) = result QuasiPeak (dBµV/m) - Corr. (dB)

The correction factor was calculated as follows.

Corr. (dB) = cable attenuation (dB) + preamplifier (dB) + antenna factor (dB)

Therefore the reading can be calculated as follows:

Reading (dBµV/m) = result Peak or Avarege (dBµV/m) - Corr. (dB)
