The EUT was powered from 50µH || 50 Ohm Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN). The LISN’s unused connections were terminated with 50 Ohm loads. The measurement procedure consists of two steps. It is implemented into the EMI test software EMC-32 from R&S. St e p 1 : Pr e lim ina r y sca n Intention of this step is, to determine the conducted EMI-profile of the EUT. EMI receiver settings: - Detector: Peak – Maxhold & Average - Frequency range: 150 kHz – 30 MHz - Frequency steps: 2.5 kHz - IF–Bandwidth: 9 kHz - Measuring time / Frequency step: 100 ms (FFT-based) - Measurement on phase + neutral lines of the power cords On basis of this preliminary scan the highest amplitudes and the corresponding frequencies relative to the limit are identified. Emissions above the limit and emissions which are in the 10 dB range below the limit are considered. St e p 2 : Fina l m e a su r e m e n t Intention of this step is, to determine the highest emissions with the settings defined in the test specification for the frequencies identified in step 1. EMI receiver settings: - Detector: Quasi-Peak - IF Bandwidth: 9 kHz - Measuring time: 1 s / frequency At each frequency determined in step 1, four measurements are performed in the following combinations: 1) Neutral lead - reference ground (PE grounded) 2) Phase lead - reference ground (PE grounded) 3) Neutral lead - reference ground (PE floating) 4) Phase lead - reference ground (PE floating) The highest value is reported.

The conducted emission found in the tables above corresponds clearly to the fixed transmitter frequency of the EUT. It was determined that this emission on the AC mains is based on radiated coupling into the test setup. Therefore, for the assessment of the test result, the fixed transmitter frequency of the EUT is not considered. The chosen operating mode is selected as representative mode to generate “worst-case” conditions, i.e. high power consumption. Test report Reference: MDE_UBLOX_1551_FCCe_Rev.1 Page 11 of 30

3 .2 Spu r iou s r a dia t e d e m ission s St a n da r d FCC Part 15, 10-1-11 Edition Subpart C Th e t e st w a s pe r for m e d a ccor din g t o: ANSI C63.10–2013 3 .2 .1 Te st D e scr ipt ion The test set-up was made in accordance to the general provisions of ANSI C63.10 in a typical installation configuration. The Equipment Under Test (EUT) was set up on a non- conductive table 1.0 x 2.0 m² in the semi-anechoic chamber. The influence of the EUT support table that is used between 30–1000 MHz was evaluated. The measurement procedure is implemented into the EMI test software EMC32 from R&S. Exploratory tests are performed at 3 orthogonal axes to determine the worst-case orientation of a body-worn or handheld EUT. The final test on all kind of EUTs is also performed at 3 axes. A pre-check is performed while the EUT is powered from a DC power source. 1 . M e a su r e m e n t u p t o 3 0 M H z The Loop antenna HFH2-Z2 is used. St e p 1 : pre measurement  Anechoic chamber  Antenna distance: 3 m  Detector: Peak-Maxhold  Frequency range: 0.009 - 0.15 MHz and 0.15 – 30 MHz  Frequency steps: 0.05 kHz and 2.25 kHz  IF–Bandwidth: 0.2 kHz and 9 kHz  Measuring time / Frequency step: 100 ms (FFT-based) Intention of this step is, to determine the radiated EMI-profile of the EUT. Afterwards the relevant emissions for the final measurement are identified. St e p 2 : final measurement For the relevant emissions determined in step 1, an additional measurement with the following settings will be performed. Intention of this step is to find the maximum emission level.  Open area test side  Antenna distance: according to the Standard  Detector: Quasi-Peak  Frequency range: 0.009 – 30 MHz  Frequency steps: measurement at frequencies detected in step 1  IF–Bandwidth: 0.2 - 10 kHz  Measuring time / Frequency step: 1 s 2 . M e a su r e m e n t a bove 3 0 M H z a n d u p t o 1 GH z St e p 1 : Preliminary scan This is a preliminary test to identify the highest amplitudes relative to the limit. Settings for step 1: - Antenna distance: 3 m - Detector: Peak-Maxhold / Quasipeak (FFT-based) - Frequency range: 30 – 1000 MHz - Frequency steps: 30 kHz Test report Reference: MDE_UBLOX_1551_FCCe_Rev.1 Page 12 of 30

- IF–Bandwidth: 120 kHz - Measuring time / Frequency step: 100 ms - Turntable angle range: –180° to 90° - Turntable step size: 90° - Height variation range: 1 – 3 m - Height variation step size: 2 m - Polarisation: Horizontal + Vertical Intention of this step is, to determine the radiated EMI-profile of the EUT. Afterwards the relevant emissions for the final measurement are identified. St e p 2 : Adjustment measurement In this step the accuracy of the turntable azimuth and antenna height will be improved. This is necessary to find out the maximum value of every frequency. For each frequency, which was determined the turntable azimuth and antenna height will be adjusted. The turntable azimuth will slowly vary by ± 45° around this value. During this action, the value of emission is continuously measured. The turntable azimuth at the highest emission will be recorded and adjusted. In this position, the antenna height will also slowly vary by ± 100 cm around the antenna height determined. During this action, the value of emission is also continuously measured. The antenna height of the highest emission will also be recorded and adjusted. - Detector: Peak – Maxhold - Measured frequencies: in step 1 determined frequencies - IF – Bandwidth: 120 kHz - Measuring time: 100 ms - Turntable angle range: ± 45 ° around the determined value - Height variation range: ± 100 cm around the determined value - Antenna Polarisation: max. value determined in step 1 St e p 3 : Final measurement with QP detector With the settings determined in step 3, the final measurement will be performed: EMI receiver settings for step 4: - Detector: Quasi-Peak (< 1 GHz) - Measured frequencies: in step 1 determined frequencies - IF – Bandwidth: 120 kHz - Measuring time: 1 s After the measurement a plot will be generated this contains a diagram with the results of the preliminary scan and a chart with the frequencies and values of the results of the final measurement. 3 . M e a sur e m e nt a bove 1 GH z The following modifications apply to the measurement procedure for the frequency range above 1 GHz: St e p 1 : The Equipment Under Test (EUT) was set up on a non-conductive support (tilt device) at 1.5 m height in the fully-anechoic chamber. All steps were performed with one height of the receiving antenna only. The EUT is turned during the preliminary measurement across the elevation axis, with a step size of 90 °. The turn table step size (azimuth angle) for the preliminary measurement is 45 °. St e p 2 : Due to the fact, that in this frequency range the test is performed in a fully anechoic room, the height scan of the receiving antenna instep 2 is omitted. Instead of this, a maximum search with a step size ± 45° for the elevation axis is performed. The turn table azimuth will slowly vary by ± 22.5°. The elevation angle will slowly vary by ± 45° Test report Reference: MDE_UBLOX_1551_FCCe_Rev.1 Page 13 of 30

The frequency drift during temperature and voltage variation is measured by the means of a spectrum analyzer with frequency counter function. The temperature was varied from –40 °C to +85 °C. At +20 °C the extreme power supply voltages of 3.0 V and 3.6 V are applied. After reaching each target temperature and waiting sufficient time allowing the temperature to stabilize, one measurement is performed immediately after powering on the EUT, and three further measurements are performed after 2, 5 and 10 minutes continuous operation of EUT. 3 .5 .2 Te st Lim it s FCC Part 15, Subpart C, §15.225 (e): The frequency tolerance of the carrier signal shall be maintained within ±0.01% of the operating frequency over a temperature variation of -20 degrees to +50 degrees C at normal supply voltage, and for a variation in the primary supply voltage from 85% to 115% of the rated supply voltage at a temperature of 20 degrees C.
