FCC Rules Part No. RESULTS Pass/Fail/NA 15.109 Radiated Emissions PASS 15.109 Radiated Emissions in 11.2 to 12.2GHz band PASS 15.207 Power Line Emissions NA TABLE OF CONTENTS APPLICANT: COBRA ELECTRONICS CORPORATION FCC ID: BBOSPX955 REPORT: C\COBRA\842UT15\842UT15TestReport.docx Page 4 of 9 RADIATED SPURIOUS EMISSIONS Rules Part No.: 15.109 Requirements: Frequency Limits 30 – 88 40.0 dBμV/m measured @ 3 meters 80 – 216 43.5 dBμV/m measured @ 3 meters 216 – 960 46.0 dBμV/m measured @ 3 meters Above 960 54.0 dBμV/m measured @ 3 meters 11.7 to 12.2GHz 54.0 dBμV/m measured @ 3 meters Test Procedure: A search was made of the spectrum from 30 to 1000MHz and from 11.7 to 12.2GHz. Measurements in the 11.7 to 12.2GHz band were made with a Standard Gain Horn. The measurements in the 11.7 to 12.2GHz band represent the ambient noise levels. The attached plots were made with peak detector with the analyzer in a maximum hold for 2 minutes. Testing was done in accordance with ANSI C63.4 & 15.35(b) specifies the use of an average detector in this band. In addition, the peak level of an emission shall not exceed the average limit by more than 20 dB using a minimum Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) of 1 MHz and minimum Video Bandwidth (VBW) OF 1 MHz. The following procedure is designed to determine if there are any spurious emissions from the local oscillator within the band of interest along with any additional spurious emissions caused by other circuitry within the device. 1) Determine the frequency of the peak emission: Start Frequency 11.7 GHz Stop Frequency 12.2 GHz RBW equal to or greater than 1 MHz VBW equal to or greater than 1 MHz Detector Function Peak Maximize the emissions with regards to device orientation, antenna polarization, and antenna height. Sweep the band using Max Hold for a minimum of 2 minutes. Record this frequency for measuring the peak emission. In addition record the frequency of other spurious emissions noted.
