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 sends 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-3040C6.

1.3    Test Methodology

       Radiated emission measurements were performed according to the procedures in ANSI
       C63.10:2009 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

       All of the tests are performed at:
       Intertek Testing Services Shenzhen Ltd. Guangzhou Branch.
       Block E, No.7-2 Guang Dong Software Science Park, Caipin Road, Guangzhou Science City,
       GETDD Guangzhou, China 510663.

       This test facility and site measurement data have been fully placed on file with the FCC, test
       firm registration number is 549654.

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 C63.10:2009

      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 height 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
         →       FS = RA + Correct Factor

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

         Unless otherwise specified, e.g. § 15.255(b), when the radiated emission limits are
         expressed in terms of the average value of the emission, and pulsed operation is
         employed, the average value of field strength shall be determined by:

     Average value = Peak value + Average factor

 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

                           = 93.8dBµv/m – 36.7dB
                           = 57.1dBµv/m

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

                           = 79.8dBµv/m – 36.7dB
                           = 43.1dBµv/m

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

                           = 93.8dBµv/m – 40.0dB
                           = 53.8dBµv/m

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

                           = 79.8dBµv/m – 40.0dB
                           = 39.8dBµv/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 = 6.522ms
      Effective period of the cycle = 1.304ms

      DC =1.304/6.522=0.1999 or 19.99%

      Therefore, the averaging factor is found by 20lg0.1999=-14dB
