SCOPE/OBJECTIVE A class II permissive change on the original filing is being pursued to add a single Narrow band Internet of Things Guard Band (NB IoT GB here after) carrier to the AHFIB AirScale Base Station Remote Radio Head Federal Communication Commission and Industry Canada certifications. Please refer to the test report on the original certification (NTS Report PR072254 Rev 1 dated March 16, 2018) for details on all required testing. All conducted RF testing performed for the original certification testing has been repeated using NB IoT GB for this class II permissive change per correspondence/guidance from Nemko TCB. NB IoT offsets from LTE carrier center frequencies were: LTE10: +/-4597.5 kHz; LTE15: +/-6892.5 kHz; and, LTE20: +/-9097.5 kHz. Tests performed under the class II change effort include RF power, peak to average power ratio, emission bandwidth (99% and 26 dB down), band edge spurious emissions (+ 1MHz), and conducted spurious emissions. Antenna port conducted RF measurements were taken with NTS personnel (Jose Mendez) at Nokia located at 6000 Connection Drive, Irving, Texas, on October 15-16, 2018. The base station and remote radio head software for this testing is an updated release that includes the single carrier NB IoT GB support. The LTE and guard band modulation types were both QPSK for all testing herein. The test sample was selected and prepared by John LoPresti of Nokia Solutions and Networks. Conducted Emissions data has been collected, reduced, and analyzed within this report in accordance with measurement guidelines set forth in the following reference standards: ANSI C63.26-2015 FCC KDB 971168 DO1 v03r01 FCC KDB 662911 DO1 v02r01 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The tested sample of Nokia Solutions and Networks product AHFIB AirScale Base Station Remote Radio Head complied with the requirements of the standards and frequency bands declared in the scope of this test report.

Antenna Port Conducted Band Edge Conducted band edge measurements were made at AHFIB RRH antenna port 2. The AHFIB was operated at the band edge frequencies with a single NB IoT Guard band carrier for 10MHz LTE bandwidth. The same limit of -13dBm used in the original certification testing is used for this testing. The limit is adjusted to -19dBm [-13dBm -10 log (4)] per FCC KDB 662911D01 v02r01 because the BTS may operate as a 4 port MIMO transmitter. Measurements were performed with the spectrum analyzer in the RMS average mode over 100 traces. In the 1MHz bands outside and adjacent to the frequency block, a resolution bandwidth of 1% of the emission bandwidth was used. In the 1 to 2MHz frequency range outside the band edge (i.e.: 2108 to 2109MHz and 2156 to 2157MHz bands) the RBW was again reduced to 1% of the emission bandwidth and the power integrated over 1MHz. In the 2 to 5MHz frequency range outside the band edge (i.e.: 2105 to 2108MHz and 2154 to 2156MHz bands) a 1MHz RBW and 3MHz VBW was used. The results are summarized in the following table. The highest (worst case) emissions from the measurement data are provided. Table 12.

Transmitter Antenna Port Conducted Emissions Transmitter conducted emission measurements were made at AHFIB RRH antenna port #2. Measurements were performed over the 9kHz to 22GHz frequency range. The AHFIB was operated on the bottom, middle and top channels on both bands 25 and 66 with a single NB IoT Guard band carrier with LTE bandwidth of 10MHz. The same limit of -13dBm used in the original certification testing is used for this testing. The limit is adjusted to 19dBm [-13dBm -10 log (4)] per FCC KDB 662911D01 v02r01 because the BTS may operate as a 4 port MIMO transmitter. The required measurement parameters include a 1MHz bandwidth with power measured in average value (since transmitter power was measured in average value). Measurements were performed with a spectrum analyzer using a peak detector with either max hold over 50 sweeps or RMS average mode over 100 traces (see table below). The required limit of -13 dBm was used as a base to calculate the following adjustments. The limit was adjusted from -13 dBm to -19dBm [-13dBm -10 log (4)] per FCC KDB 662911D01 v02r01 because the BTS may operate as a 4 port MIMO transmitter. The limit for the 9kHz to 150kHz frequency range was adjusted from 19 dBm to 49dBm to correct for a spectrum analyzer RBW of 1kHz versus required RBW of 1MHz [i.e.: 49dBm = -19dBm -10log(1MHz/1kHz)]. The limit for the 150kHz to 20MHz frequency range was adjusted to 29dBm to correct for a spectrum analyzer RBW of 100kHz versus required RBW of 1MHz [i.e.: -29dBm = 19dBm - 10log(1MHz/100kHz)]. The required limit of -19dBm with a RBW of 1MHz was used for all other frequency ranges. The spectrum analyzer settings that were used for this test are summarized in the following table.

Note 2: Max Hold not used and instead measurements were performed with the spectrum analyzer in the RMS average mode over 100 traces. A low pass/carrier blocking filter was used to reduce measurement instrumentation noise floor for the frequency ranges less than 10MHz.The total measurement RF path loss of the test setup (attenuators, filter, cables) as shown in the table is accounted for by the spectrum analyzer reference level offset. The display line or limit line on the plots reflects the required limit. Conducted spurious emission plots/measurements are provided in the following pages.
