Criteria for Un-Intentional Radiators
1. Radiated Emissions

Test Requirement(s): Test Results:

§15.109 Pass

Test Engineer(s): Test Date(s):

Evan L. Feb 12, 2024

Test Procedures:
The final radiated emissions test was performed using the parameters described above as worst case. That final test was conducted at a facility that meets the ANSI C63.4 NSA requirements. The frequency range noted in the data sheets was scanned/tested at that facility. Emissions were maximized as specified, by varying table azimuth, antenna height, and manipulating cables.
Using the mode of operation and configuration noted within this report, a final radiated emissions test was performed. The frequency range investigated (scanned), is also noted in this report. Radiated emissions measurements were made at the EUT azimuth and antenna height such that the maximum radiated emissions level will be detected. This requires the use of a turntable and an antenna positioner. The preferred method of a continuous azimuth search is utilized for frequency scans of the EUT field strength with both polarities of the measuring antenna. A calibrated, linearly polarized antenna was positioned at the specified distance from the periphery of the EUT.
Note: The specified distance is the horizontal separation between the closest periphery of the EUT and the center of the axis of the elements of the receiving antenna. However, if the receiving antenna is a log-periodic array, the specified distance shall be the distance between the closest periphery of the EUT and the front-to-back center of the array of elements.
Tests were made with the antenna positioned in both the horizontal and vertical polarization planes. The measurement was varied in height above the conducting ground plane to obtain the maximum signal strength. Though specified in the report, the measurement distance shall be 3 meters. At any measurement distance, the antenna height was varied from 1 meter to 4 meters. These height scans apply for both horizontal and vertical polarization, except that for vertical polarization the minimum height of the center of the antenna shall be increased so that the lowest point of the bottom of the antenna clears the ground surface by at least 25 cm.

Measurements were made using the bandwidths and detectors specified. The video filter was at least as wide as the IF bandwidth of the measuring receiver.

Emissions Tests Calculations
In the case of indoor measurements, radiated emissions measurements are made by the manipulation of correction factors using TILE4 software. This is done automatically by the software during the final measurement process.
In both cases, the level of the Field Strength of the interfering signal is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor, Cable Factor and by subtracting the Amplifier Gain from the measured reading. The basic equation is as follows:
FS = RA + AF + (CF ­AG)
Where: FS = Field Strength
RA = Receiver (indicated) Amplitude
AF = Antenna Factor
CF = Cable Attenuation Factor
AG = Amplifier Gain
This laboratory uses an approach of combining the CF and AG using an end-to-end measurement of the entire cabling system, including the test cable, any in-line amplifiers, attenuators, or transient protection networks, all measured in-situ.
For a sample calculation, assume a receiver reading of 52.5 dBuV is obtained. With an antenna factor of 7.4 and a combined cable factor (CF + AG) of -27.9:
FS = 52.5 + 7.4 + (-27.9) = 32 dBuV/m
FS = 32 dBuV/m
If desired, this can be converted into its corresponding level in uV/m:
FS = 10^((32 dBuV/m)/20) = 39.8 uV/m

Test Procedures:

As required by 47 CFR 15.247, Radiated spurious measurements were made in accordance with the procedures of the FCC Guidance Document 558074 D01 and ANSI C63.10.
The EUT was placed on a non-reflective table inside a 3-meter open area test site. The EUT was set on continuous transmit.
The measurement antenna was placed at a distance of 3 meters from the EUT. During the tests, the antenna height and polarization as well as EUT azimuth were varied in order to identify the maximum level of emissions from the EUT. The frequency range up to the 10th harmonic was investigated included all the restricted band frequencies include 2483.5MHz. Measurement 10dB below the limits were not reported.
To get a maximum emission level from the EUT, the EUT was rotated throughout the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis. Worst case is X-axis

Calculation: Bluetooth 1x/EDR has a typical channel hopping rate of 1600 hops/s. For DH1, DH3, and DH5 packet types, there is 1, 3, and 5 time slots for transmission, each paired with 1 receive slot, for a total of 2, 4, and 6 time slots total. Time of Occupancy Limit: 400ms x 79 hopping channels = 31.6 seconds DH1 Operation: -1600 hops/second / 2 time slots = 800 hops/second -800 hops/second / 79 channels = 10.13 hops/s/channel (# of times returning to same channel in one second) -10.13 hops/s/channel x 31.6s = 320.11 hops/channel (returns to same channel in a 31.6 second period) 320.11 hops x 390us = 124.84 ms (worst case dwell time for DH1 operation)
By following the same process for DH3 and DH5 packet types: DH3 Operation: -1600 hops/second / 4 time slots = 400 hops/second -400 hops/second / 79 channels = 5.06 hops/s/channel -5.06 hops/s/channel x 31.6s = 159.9 hops/channel 159.9 hops x 1.644ms = 262.88 ms (worst case dwell time for DH3 operation)
DH5 Operation: -1600 hops/second / 6 time slots = 266.67 hops/second -266.67 hops/second / 79 channels = 3.38 hops/s/channel -3.38 hops/s/channel x 31.6s = 106.81 hops/channel 106.81 hops x 2.89ms = 308.68 ms (worst case dwell time for DH3 operation)

Test Engineer(s): Test Date(s):

Sean E. Feb 14, 2024

Test Procedures:

As required by 47 CFR 15.247(a), for frequency hopping spread spectrum operating at 2400MHz-2483.5MHz band. Measurements were made with device hopping function enabled.
The EUT output was connected directly to the spectrum analyzer through an attenuator. The measurements were made at the RF antenna output terminals of the EUT. Peak detector was used, and trace was set to max hold

Test Requirement(s): Test Results:

§15.247(a)(1) Pass

Test Engineer(s): Test Date(s):

Sean E. Feb 14, 2024

Test Procedures:

As required by 47 CFR 15.247(a), for frequency hopping systems shall have hopping channel carrier frequencies separated by a minimum of 25kHz or the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel, whichever is greater. Alternatively, frequency hopping systems in the 2400-2483.5 MHz band may have hopping channel carrier frequencies that are separated by 25 kHz or two-thirds of the 20 dB bandwidth of the hopping channel, whichever is greater, provided the systems operate with an output power no greater than 125mW. Measurements were made with device hopping function enabled.
The EUT output was connected directly to the spectrum analyzer through an attenuator. The measurements were made at the RF antenna output terminals of the EUT. Peak detector was used, and trace was set to max hold.

11. Measurement Uncertainty
ISO/IEC 17025 requires that an estimate of the measurement uncertainties associated with the emissions test results be included in the report. These measurements figures are calculated in accordance with ETSI TR 100 028 Parts 1 and 2. Instrumentation measurement uncertainty has not been taken into account to determine compliance. The following measurement uncertainty values have been calculated as show in the table below:

Measured Parameter
Conducted Emissions (AC Power) Radiated Emission below 30MHz Radiated Emissions below 1GHz Radiated Emissions above 1GHz

Measurement Unit
dBuV or dBuA dBuV/m dBuV/m dBuV/m

Frequency Range
150kHz ­ 30MHz 9kHz-30MHz 30 ­ 1000MHz 1 ­ 26.5GHz

Expanded Uncertainty
± 4.3dB ± 2.96dB ± 5.6dB ± 4.1dB

The reported expanded uncertainty has been estimated at a 95% confidence level (k=2)
