5.2. Effective Radiated Power

Ambient condition

                            Temperature                                        Relative humidity

                            21°C ~25°C                                             40%~60%

Methods of Measurement

The testing follows FCC KDB 971168 v03r01 Section 5.8 and ANSI C63.26 (2015).
a) Connect the equipment as illustrated. Mount the equipment with the manufacturer specified
antenna in a vertical orientation on a manufacturer specified mounting surface located on a
non-conducting rotating platform of a RF anechoic chamber (preferred) or a standard radiation site.
b) Key the transmitter, then rotate the EUT 360°azimuthally and record spectrum analyzer power
level (LVL) measurements at angular increments that are sufficiently small to permit resolution of all
peaks. If a standard radiation test site is used, raise and lower the test antenna to obtain a maximum
reading at each angular increment. (Note: several batteries may be needed to offset the effect of
battery voltage droop, which should not exceed 5% of the manufactured specified battery voltage
during transmission).
c) Replace the transmitter under test with a vertically polarized half-wave dipole (or an antenna
whose gain is known relative to an ideal half-wave dipole). The center of the antenna should be at the
same location as the center of the antenna under test.
d) Connect the antenna to a signal generator with a known output power and record the path loss
(in dB) as LOSS. If a standard radiation test site is used, raise and lower the test antenna to obtain a
maximum reading.LOSS = Generator Output Power (dBm) – Analyzer reading (dBm)
e) Determine the effective radiated output power at each angular position from the readings in steps
b) and d) using the following equation:ERP (dBm) = LVL (dBm) + LOSS (dB)
f) The maximum ERP is the maximum value determined in the preceding step.
g) When calculating ERP, in addition to knowing the antenna radiation and matching characteristics,
it is necessary to know the loss values of all elements (e.g.transmission line attenuation, mismatches,
filters, combiners) interposed between the point where transmitter output power is measured, and the
point where power is applied to the antenna. ERP can then be calculated as follows:
EIRP (dBm) = Output Power (dBm) - Losses (dB) + Antenna Gain (dBi)
where:dBd refers to gain relative to an ideal dipole.
EIRP (dBm ) = ERP (dBm) + 2.15 (dB.)

The RB allocation refers to section 5.1, using the maximum output power configuration.

Method of Measurement

The EUT was connected to Spectrum Analyzer and Base Station Simulator via power Splitter. The
occupied bandwidth is measured using spectrum analyzer.
RBW is set to 2kHz, VBW is set to 6.2kHz.
99% power and -26dBc occupied bandwidths are recorded. Spectrum analyzer plots are included on
the following pages.

Test Setup




Limits

No specific occupied bandwidth requirements in part 2.1049.
Part 90.209 (a) Each authorization issued to a station licensed under this part will show an emission
designator representing the class of emission authorized. The designator will be prefixed by a
specified necessary bandwidth. This number does not necessarily indicate the bandwidth occupied
by the emission at any instant. In those cases where part 2.202 of this chapter does not provide a
formula for the computation of necessary bandwidth, the occupied bandwidth, as defined in part 2 of
this chapter, may be used in lieu of the necessary bandwidth.

Measurement Uncertainty

The assessed measurement uncertainty to ensure 95% confidence level for the normal distribution is
with the coverage factor k = 2, U= 624Hz.

Method of Measurement

1. Frequency Stability (Temperature Variation)
   The temperature inside the climate chamber is varied from -40°C to +85°C in 10°C step size,
   (1) With all power removed, the temperature was decreased to 0°C and permitted to stabilize for
   three hours.
   (2) Measure the carrier frequency with the test equipment in a “call mode”. These measurements
   should be made within 1 minute of powering up the mobile station, to prevent significant self
   warming.
   (3) Repeat the above measurements at 10°C increments from -40°C to +85°C. Allow at least 1.5
   hours at each temperature, un-powered, before making measurements.
2. Frequency Stability (Voltage Variation)
   The frequency stability shall be measured with variation of primary supply voltage as follows:
   (1) Vary primary supply voltage from 85 to 115 percent of the nominal value for other than hand
   carried battery equipment.
   (2) For hand carried, battery powered equipment, reduce primary supply voltage to the
   battery-operating end point which shall be specified by the manufacturer.
   This transceiver is specified to operate with an input voltage of between 3.3 V and 4.3 V, with a
   nominal voltage of 3.8V.

Method of Measurement

The EUT was connected to Spectrum Analyzer and Base Station Simulator via power Splitter. The
measurement is carried out using a spectrum analyzer. The spectrum analyzer scans from 30MHz to
the 10th harmonic of the carrier. The peak detector is used. RBW are set to 100 kHz and VBW are set
to 300 kHz for below 1G, RBW are set to 1MHz and VBW are set to 3MHz for above 1G, Sweep is set
to ATUO.

5.8. Radiates Spurious Emission

Ambient condition

                            Temperature                                        Relative humidity

                            21°C ~25°C                                             40%~60%

Method of Measurement

1. The testing follows FCC KDB 971168 v03r01 Section 5.8 and ANSI C63.26 (2015).
2. Below 1GHz: The EUT is placed on a turntable 0.8 meters above the ground in the chamber, 3
meter away from the antenna. The maximal emission value is acquired by adjusting the antenna
height, polarisation and turntable azimuth. Normally, the height range of antenna is 1 m to 4 m, the
azimuth range of turntable is 0° to 360°, and the receive antenna has two polarizations Vertical (V)
and Horizontal (H). Above 1GHz: (Note: the FCC’s permission to use 1.5m as an alternative per
TCBC Conf call of Dec. 2, 2014.) The EUT is placed on a turntable 1.5 meters above the ground in
the chamber, 3 meter away from the antenna. The maximal emission value is acquired by adjusting
the antenna height, polarisation and turntable azimuth. Normally, the height range of antenna is 1 m
to 4 m, the azimuth range of turntable is 0° to 360°, and the receive antenna has two polarizations
Vertical (V) and Horizontal (H).
3. A loop antenna, A log-periodic antenna or horn antenna shall be substituted in place of the EUT.
The log-periodic antenna will be driven by a signal generator and the level will be adjusted till the
same power value on the spectrum analyzer or receiver. The level of the spurious emissions can be
calculated through the level of the signal generator, cable loss, the gain of the substitution antenna
and the reading of the spectrum analyzer or receiver.
4. The EUT is then put into continuously transmitting mode at its maximum power level during the test.
Set Test Receiver or Spectrum RBW=200Hz,VBW=600Hz for 9kHz150kHz , RBW=10kHz,
VBW=30kHz 150kHz-30MHz , RBW=100kHz,VBW=300kHz for 30MHz to 1GHz and RBW=1MHz,
VBW=3MHz for above 1GHz, And the maximum value of the receiver should be recorded as (Pr).
5. The EUT shall be replaced by a substitution antenna. In the chamber, an substitution antenna for
the frequency band of interest is placed at the reference point of the chamber. An RF Signal source
for the frequency band of interest is connected to the substitution antenna with a cable that has been
constructed to not interfere with the radiation pattern of the antenna. A power (PMea) is applied to the
input of the substitution antenna, and adjust the level of the signal generator output until the value of
the receiver reach the previously recorded (Pr). The power of signal source (PMea) is recorded. The
test should be performed by rotating the test item and adjusting the receiving antenna polarization.
6. A amplifier should be connected to the Signal Source output port. And the cable should be connect
between the Amplifier and the Substitution Antenna. The cable loss (Pcl) ,the Substitution Antenna
Gain (Ga) and the Amplifier Gain (PAg) should be recorded after test.
7. The measurement results are obtained as described below:
Power(EIRP)=PMea- PAg - Pcl + Ga
The measurement results are amend as described below:
Power(EIRP)=PMea- Pcl + Ga
8. This value is EIRP since the measurement is calibrated using an antenna of known gain (2.15 dBi)
