Expository Statement/Description The Radi-Can Transmitter (FCC ID:AEK980227) is a 27.145 MHz R/C transmitter. The transmitter uses a telescopic antenna approximately 10 ½ inches in length. The RF section contains the RF carrier oscillator section and an amplifier section. The RF carrier frequency is generated using Q1 (N-P-N transistor) in conjunction with a crystal (X1=27.145 MHz) configured in an oscillator circuit. The RF amplifier circuit consists of one transistor (Q2) matched to the antenna via a pi circuit comprised of C6, C7, L3 and C8. The modulation, baseband control signals, are generated within the LSI (Large Scale Integration) IC, IC1. Except for the control switches (commands for vehicle movement), IC1 conditions all commands and modulates the carrier (RF) by injecting the baseband signal into the input of the RF amplifier. The transmitter operates using two 1.5 VDC AA batteries. The transmitter does not need or use external grounding for operation.

The open-field tests were performed on a three- meter range maintained by Carl T. Jones Corporation at the Springfield facility. Complete description and measurement data for the site have been placed on file with the Commission. Carl T. Jones Corporation is listed by the FCC as a facility available to do measurement work for others on a contract basis. Prior to open-field testing, the equipment was placed in a shielded enclosure and scanned at a close distance to determine its emission characteristics. IV. RADIATED EMISSION MEASUREMENTS The transmitter was assembled on a rotatable wooden test stand 0.8 meters in height. The transmitter's antenna was fully extended. The emission spectrum was examined up to 1000 MHz using a Hewlett-Packard 8568B spectrum analyzer and Compliance Design "Roberts" tuned dipole antennas. At each emission frequency, the EUT was rotated 360 degrees, and the antenna was raised and lowered from one to four meters to determine the maximum emission levels. Measurements were taken using both horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations. The spectrum analyzer's 6 dB bandwidth was set to 100 kHz. The analyzer was operated using its peak detection mode for measurements of emissions less than 1000 MHz. No post-detector video filters were used. The EUT was investigated in three orthogonal planes. The highest emission amplitudes relative to the appropriate limit were measured and have been recorded in Table 1. The actual field intensity in decibels above one microvolt per meter (dBuV/m) is determined by algebraically adding the measured level in dBuV, the FCC ID:AEK980227 3 antenna factor (dB), and the cable loss (dB) at the appropriate frequency. FI a (dBuV/m) = FI m (dBuV) + AF (dB) + CL (dB) FI a = Actual Field Intensity FI m = Measured Field Intensity AF = Antenna Factor CL = Cable Loss As a sample calculation, assume a particular device emits a signal with a frequency of 27.145 MHz. The received signal level is measured as 62.9 dBuV. The total attenuation factor (antenna factor plus cable loss) for 27.145 MHz is 0 dB. The actual radiated field is calculated as follows: 62.9 dB μ V + (0 dB) = 62.9 dB μ V/m @ 3 meters, or 1396.4 μ V/m @ 3 meters The field strength of the fundamental did not exceed 10,000 μ V/m (80 dB μ V/m) at 3 meters, as specified in Paragraph 15.227. As per the requirements defined in 15.209, the radiated emission limit at the band edges is 49.5 dB μ V/m at 3 meters. As per the occupied bandwidth spectral plot, the highest emission level below the lower band edge is 43 dB below the modulated carrier. At the upper band edge the highest emission recorded is 44 dB below the modulated carrier. Note: because the EUT complies using peak detection (worst case) quasi-peak detection was not used. Based on the maximized peak radiation measurements of the carrier, these emission levels are: Lower Band Edge 62.9 dB μ V/m - 43 dB = 26.2 dB μ μμ μ V/m (peak) at 3 meters ( Limit = 49.5 dB μ V/m, quasi-peak ) Upper Band Edge 62.9 dB μ V/m - 44 dB = 25.2 dB μ μμ μ V/m (peak) at 3 meters (Limit = 49.5 dB μ V/m, quasi-peak) Radiated measurements to the EUT's 10th harmonic are included in this report as Table 1. All other emissions were found to be in compliance with the restrictions of Paragraph 15.209(a) of the Commission's Rules. Because the FCC ID:AEK980227 4 emissions were below the limits using peak detection, average to peak ratio's were not calculated. V. OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH MEASUREMENTS In order to demonstrate that the EUT's fundamental frequency is within the 26.96 to 27.28 MHz frequency band an occupied bandwidth spectral plot of the EUT's fundamental frequency is included. Paragraph 15.227(b) specifies…
