DC Voltage & Current into Final Device 2.1033(C)(8) ------------------------------------------ To measure the DC Voltage and Current into Final Amplifying Device, the measuring equipment was connected to the actual P.C.Board of the transmitter. FCC limits: Not specified Test Results: Refer to test data 2. RF Output Power 2.1046 ------------------- The unit was tuned-up in accordance with the alignment procedure stated in the EXHIBIT-6, and was loaded into a 50-ohm resistive termination. The unit was powered through its normally supplied power cable by a DC power supply. Power supply voltage was set to nominal voltage at the power supply terminals with the transmitter off. The unit was operated for three consecutive test cycles of 15 minutes standby and 5 minutes in transmitting. At the end of the third 5 minutes period, the RF output power is measured. During the test, no components of the emission spectrum exceed the limit specified in the applicable rule part for occupied bandwidth or emission limitations. FCC limits: Not specified Test Results: Refer to test data 3. Modulation Characteristics (Audio Roll-off) 2.1047 & 80.213 ----------------------------------------------- To measure the audio roll-off filter response, an audio frequency oscillator and AF VTVM were connected to the actual P.C.Board of the transmitter. AF VTVM and an oscilloscope monitored the output of the audio filter. An AF input level was maintained was maintained constant at least 10 dB below the saturation level at maximum response frequency. The measurement was made under the above conditions by varying the frequency between 1 kHz and 100 kHz. FCC limits: 3 kHz - 15 kHz: -40 log 10 (F/3) dB Above 20kHz : At least -28 dB Test Results: Refer to test data 4. Modulation Characteristics (Audio Frequency Response) 2.1047 --------------------------------------------------------- Operate the unit under the standard test conditions and monitor the output with a modulation or a calibrated test receiver. With a 1000 Hz sine wave (applied through a dummy microphone circuit) used as a 0 dB reference, vary the modulating frequency from 300 to 3000 Hz and observe the level necessary to maintain a constant 30% modulation. FCC limits: 300 - 3000 Hz: 6dB/octave roll-off (+1/-3 dB) Test Results: Refer to test data 5. Modulation Characteristics (Modulation Limiting) 2.1047 ---------------------------------------------------- The transmitter shall be adjusted for full rated system deviation, 1000 Hz and reference it as 0dB input. With modulation frequencies of 300, 1000 and 3000 Hz respectively, vary the audio input to a level 20dB above that required at 100 Hz to produce 60% of rated system deviation. This is required for both up to and down modulation. Record the percent of full system deviation obtained as a function of input level. FCC limits: +/-5 kHz deviation Test Results: Refer to test data 6. Occupied Bandwidth 2.1049(c)(1) & 80.211 ---------------------- The spectrum of the modulated carrier was monitored by a panoramic method capable of 60dB amplitude range. The unit was modulated with a 2500 Hz audio signal at an input level 16dB above that required for 50% of maximum system deviation. In case the 100Hz of CTCSS tone or 100 bps of digital coded data modulation is indicated for this transmitter, a representative measurement data for this operation is also presented. Since the total deviation of the unit is designed as 4.7 kHz Div., the deviation of 2500Hz audio signal was set to 3.7 kHz Div., as the maximum deviation of tone or digital coded signal was continuously set to 1.0 kHz Div. At first, tone or digital signal was disabled and set the 2500 Hz audio signal to 1.85 kHz deviation (= 50% of 3.7 kHz deviation). Then, the input level of 2500Hz audio signal was increased by 16dB. In this condition, the tone or digital coded signal was then enabled and imposed with 2500Hz audio signal. FCC limits: a) -25dB (50 - 100% of assigned frequency) b) -35dB (100 - 250% of assigned frequency) c) 43 + 10log 10 (RF output power in Watts) dB or 80dB, whichever is lesser attenuation for more than 250% of assigned frequency Test Results: Refer to test data 7. Spurious & Harmonic Emission at Antenna Terminal 2.1051 ---------------------------------------------------- Spurious radiation is the radio frequency voltage or power generated within the equipment and appearing at the equipment's output terminals when properly loaded with its characteristic non-radiating load. The unit was modulated with a 2500 Hz tone at an input level 16dB greater than that required 50% modulation. The spectrum was scanned from the lowest frequency generated in the equipment to the tenth harmonic of the carrier. FCC limits: 43 + 10log 10 (RF output power in Watts) dB Test Results: Refer to test data 8. Field Strength of Spurious & Harmonic Radiation 2.1053 --------------------------------------------------- Measurement Procedure & Test Site Description Field strength measurements of radiated spurious emissions were made on a 3-meter range maintained by Uniden Corporation in Japan.
