The two primary components of the GTCU system are the Globe Tracker Communication Module (GTCM) and the Globe Tracker Antenna Module (GTAM) connected together using RF cables with SMB (snap on) connectors on both ends of the cables. The GTCM consists of a 433 MHz transceiver and encloses a Telit GSM (FCC ID: RI7GE865, IC: 5131A-GE865) and an 802.11b WLAN (FCC ID: 2AAZL-GTCU-GS-001) radio module. Only one transceiver transmits at a given period of time. The 433 MHz transceiver is connected to a PCB antenna internal to the GTCM and to another PCB antenna enclosed within the GTAM. The 433 MHz transceiver uses one antenna at the time. Technical Details Frequency of Operation: 433.26 MHz - 434.371 MHz Number of Channels: 3 Modulation: GFSK Data Rate: 79.925 kBd Antenna: PCB (GTCM and GTAM antenna) Input Voltage: 3 VDC and 7.5 VDC Manufacturer Information: Globe Tracker, Inc. 304 E Strawbridge Ave Melbourne, FL 32901 Test Sample Serial Number(s): FLC323000136 Test Sample Condition: Good 1.3 Test Methodology and Considerations The GTCU-001 was evaluated for the 433 MHz transceiver. The radiated emissions were performed for the EUT transmitting for the GTCM and GTAM antennas. Additional preliminary evaluations were performed for the EUT set in three orthogonal orientations. The results are reported for the worst case orientation.
