1.    General Description

1.1    Product Description

       The equipment under test (EUT) is a transceiver for remote control of Black Electric Smoker at
       2.440GHz. The EUT is powered by 2*1.5V/AAA battery. It send the command of temperature &
       time settings & lighting to the Electric Smoker, and it sends a signal to Electric Smoker to
       request “meat probe” temperature and receives temperature information (probe) from Electric
       Smoker.

       Antenna Type: internal integrated antenna.
       The remote controllers of the model: 20070312, 20072112, 20072212, 20072312, 20072412,
       20072912 20070512, 20072512, 20072612, 20072712, 20072812, 20073012 are the same as
       the test model 20070312 in hardware and software aspect. The only differences are the
       appearance, and model number for trading purpose.
       We tested the remote controllers, model: 20070312, to determine if it was in compliance with
       the relevant FCC standards. We found that the unit met the requirements of FCC part 15.249
       when tested as received. The worst case’s test data was presented in this test report.


1.2    Related Submittal (s) / Grants

       The FCC ID of corresponding transceiver for this transceiver is YHXESQ-3040C3.

1.3    Test Methodology

       Radiated emission measurements were performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4
       (2003). Radiated emission measurement was performed in semi-anechoic chamber room. For
       radiated emission measurement, preliminary scans were performed in the semi-anechoic
       chamber only to determine the worst case modes. All radiated tests were performed at an
       antenna to EUT distance of 3 meters, unless stated otherwise in the "Justification Section" of
       this Application.

1.4    Test Facility

       The Radiated Emission test is performed at:
       Compliance Certification Services (Shenzhen) Inc. located at No.10-1Mingkeda Logistics Park,
       No.18Huanguan South RD. Guanlan Town, Baoan District Shenzhen China. This test facility
       and site measurement data have been fully placed on file with the FCC, test firm registration
       number is 441872.

2.    System Test Configuration

2.1    Justification

      The system was configured for testing in a typical fashion (as a customer would normally
      use it), and in the confines as outlined in ANSI C63.4 (2003).

      The EUT was powered by 2*1.5V/AAA battery in the testing.

      Type of modulation: GFSK modulation, and only the worst data was reported in this report.

      The unit was operated standalone and placed in the center of the turntable.

      For maximizing emissions, the unit was placed in the center of the turntable, and the
      turntable was rotated through 360°, the antenna hei ght was varied from 1 meter to 4 meters
      above the ground plane, and the antenna polarization was changed. This step by step
      procedure for maximizing emissions led to the data reported in Chapter 3.


2.2    EUT Exercising Software

       There was no special software to exercise the device.


2.3    Special Accessories

       No special accessories used.


2.4    Equipment Modification

       Any modifications installed previous to testing by Masterbuilt Manufacturing Inc will be
       incorporated in each production model sold/leased in the United States. No
       modifications were installed by Intertek Testing Services Shenzhen Ltd. Guangzhou
       Branch.

3.3.3    Field Strength Calculation

        The field strength is calculated by adding the reading on the Spectrum Analyzer to the
        factors associated with preamplifiers (if any), antennas, cables, pulse desensitization and
        average factors (when specified limit is in average and measurements are made with peak
        detectors). A sample calculation is included below.

                FS = RA + AF + CF — AG + PD + AV
        —       FS = RA + Correct Factor + AV

        Where         FS = Field Strength in dBuV/m
                      RA = Receiver Amplitude (including preamplifier) in dBuV
                      CF = Cable Attenuation Factor in dB
                      AF = Antenna Factor in dB
                      AG = Amplifier Gain in dB
                      PD = Pulse Desensitization in dB
                      AV = Average Factor in —dB
                      Correct Factor = AF + CF — AG + PD

        In the radiated emission table which follows, the reading shown on the data table may
        reflect the preamplifier gain. An example of the calculations, where the reading does not
        reflect the preampilifier gain, follows:

        FS = RA + AF + CF — AG + PD + AV


        Assume a receiver reading of 62.0 dBuV is obtained. The antenna factor of 7.4 dB and
        cable factor of 1.6 dB is added. The amplifier gain of 29 dB is subtracted. The pulse
        desensitization factor of the spectrum analyzer was 0 dB, and the resultant average factor
        was ~10 dB. The net field strength for comparison to the appropriate emission limit is 32
        dBuiV/m. This value in dBuV/m was converted to its corresponding level in uV/m.

        RA = 62.0 dBuV
        AF = 74 dB
        CF = 1.60B
        AG = 29.0 dB

        Sec15.249;
        (d) Emissions radiated outside of the specified frequency bands, except for harmonics,
        shall be attenuated by at least 50 dB below the level of the fundamental or to the

3.4.4    Test Result

        From the plot, the field strength of any emissions outside of the specified frequency band
        are attenuated to the general radiated emission limits in section 15.209. It fulfils the
        requirement of 15.249(d).

        Peak Measurement

        Bandedge compliance is determined by applying marker-delta method, i.e ( Bandedge
        Plot).

        (i) Lower bandedge:
        Peak Resultant field strength = Fundamental emissions (peak value) – delta from the
                                         bandedge plot

                          = 83.1dBµv/m – 42.2dB
                          = 40.9dBµv/m

        Average Resultant field strength = Fundamental emissions (peak value) – delta from the
                                    bandedge plot

                          = 70.7dBµv/m – 42.2dB
                          = 28.5dBµv/m

        (ii) Upper bandedge:
        Peak Resultant field strength = Fundamental emissions (peak value) – delta from the
                                         bandedge plot

                          = 83.1dBµv/m – 48.4dB
                          = 34.7dBµv/m

        Average Resultant field strength = Fundamental emissions (peak value) – delta from the
                                    bandedge plot

                          = 70.7dBµv/m – 48.4dB
                          = 22.3dBµv/m

        The resultant field strength meets the general radiated emission limit in section
        15.209, which does not exceed 74 dBµv/m (Peak Limit) and 54dBµv/m (Average Limit).

3.4.5   Transmitter Duty Cycle Calculation FCC Rule 15.35(b, c)

        Averaging factor in dB = 20 log (duty cycle)

        The specification for output field strengths in accordance with the FCC rules specify
        measurements with an average detector. During testing, a spectrum analyzer
        incorporating a peak detector was used. Therefore, a reduction factor can be applied to
        the resultant peak signal level and compared to the limit for measurement
        instrumentation incorporating an average detector.

        The time period over which the duty cycle is measured is 100 milliseconds, or the
        repetition cycle, whichever is a shorter time frame. The worst case (highest percentage
        on) duty cycle is used for the calculation. The duty cycle is measured by placing the
        spectrum analyzer in zero scan (receiver mode) and linear mode at maximum bandwidth
        (1 MHz at 3 dB down) and viewing the resulting time domain signal output from the
        analyzer on a Tektronix oscilloscope. The oscilloscope is used because of its superior
        time base and triggering facilities.

        A plot of the worst-case duty cycle as detected in this manner is shown below.

        The duty cycle is simply the on-time divided by the period:

        The duration of one cycle = 3.967ms
        Effective period of the cycle = 0.95ms

        DC =0.95/3.967=0.2395 or 23.95%

        Therefore, the averaging factor is found by 20lg0.2395=-12.4dB
