No. 3.0, 2014-01-31 5.2 Emission bandwidth For test instruments and accessories used see section 6 Part MB. 5.2.1 Description of the test location Test location: AREA4 5.2.2 Photo documentation of the test set-up , 5.2.3 Applicable standard According to FCC Part 15, Section 15.247(a)(2): Systems using digital modulation techniques may operate in the 902 - 928 MHz, 2400 – 2483.5 MHz and 5725 – 5850 MHz bands. The minimum 6 dB bandwidth shall be at least 500 kHz. 5.2.4 Description of Measurement The bandwidth was measured at an amplitude level reduced from the reference level of a modulated channel by a ratio of -6 dB. The reference level is the level of the highest signal amplitude observed at the transmitter at either the fundamental frequency or the first order modulation products in all typical modes of operation, including the unmodulated carrier, even if atypical. An alternative is to use the bandwidth measurement of the analyser.

The EUT is connected via suitable attenuator at the spectrum analyser. The measurement is repeated for every different modulation standard of the EUT and recorded.

The limit is based on transmitting antennas of directional gain that do not exceed 6 dBi. 5.4.4 Description of Measurement The EuT was fixed mounted on the receiving antenna of the spectrum analyzer to find out the maximum power. An analyzer offset was tried to see the compliance to the measured radiated value. The transmitter output was directly connected to the spectrum analyzer. The center frequency of the spectrum analyzer is set to the fundamental frequency. The span of the spectrum analyzer should be larger than the emission bandwidth (EBW). The channel bandwidth has been set to EBW. With peak detector and power mode “Max Hold” the result is the summed maximum output power of the EBW.

Attenuation below the general limits specified in Section 15.209(a) is not required. In addition, radiated emissions which fall in the restricted bands, as defined in Section 15.205(a), must also comply with the radiated emission limit specified in Section 15.209(a). 5.5.4 Description of measurement A spectrum analyzer is connected to the output of the transmitter while EUT was operating in transmit mode at the assigned frequency.
