Equipment Applicant: Val Avionics LTD PO Box 13025 3280 25 th ST SE Salem, Oregon 97309 RF Exposure Report Val Avionics Flight Systems VHF COM-2000 Transceiver FCC ID: EZN5PRCOM2000 Model No. COM-2000 Overview: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, this document has been created to justify and define the RF exposure environmental conditions of the COM 2000. Information: The COM 2000 is considered to be a fixed transmitter containing a less- than-10-watt transmitter operating between 117.975 and 137.000 MHz. This device is designed to be permanently installed in an aircraft and connected to an external antenna no less than 20 centimeters from the user or any passengers. The COM 2000 is certified under rule part 87, and is therefore categorically excluded from all environmental testing underneath 2.1091 or 2.1093. James L. Harr April 12, 2012

Operation within this VHF band is subject to the regulations of multiple CFR parts including Parts 2 and 87 for FCC Certification for units deployable in the United States. Table 6.1-1 illustrates the test requirements list, as specified in FCC CFR Part 2. Table 6.1-1 FCC Certification Technical Requirement List 47 CFR Part 2 Requirements Requirement Description Compliance 2.1046 Power and Emissions Yes 2.1047 Modulation Characteristics Yes 2.1049 Occupied Bandwidth Yes 2.1051 Spurious Emissions Antenna Terminal; Spectrum Mask Yes 2.1053 Radiated Spurious Emissions Yes 2.1055 Carrier Frequency Stability; Temperature and Voltage Yes 6.1.1 Unit Description The COM 2000 transceiver is a Voice Modulated communications equipment utilizing Amplitude modulation, with a maximum power of 10W, operating in the 6K00A3E emission designator, with a 25kHz channel spacing. 6.2 Test Results The test results presented in this report are for the certification testing performed on COM 2000, S/N 20500. The majority of these tests were performed in partially shielded, low external RF office, weather and dates are provided after each section. Exhibit 6 Page 3 of 20 FCC ID: EZN5PRCOM2000 4/17/2012 6.2.1 Power and Emissions With no modulation the unit power measurements were taken. The COM 2000 is designed to transmit 10Wrms maximum with 8Wrms nominal in the Aviation Communications Band of 117.975MHz to 137.000 MHz. Frequency Output Power 118 MHz 8.49 119 MHz 8.54 120 MHz 8.54 121 MHz 8.53 122 MHz 8.45 123 MHz 8.42 124 MHz 8.32 125 MHz 8.20 126 MHz 8.03 127 MHz 7.82 128 MHz 7.62 129 MHz 7.36 130 MHz 7.17 131 MHz 7.01 132 MHz 6.93 133 MHz 7.13 134 MHz 7.62 135 MHz 8.22 136 MHz 8.25 136.975 MHz 7.97 Table 6.2.1-1: Power Response 6.2.1.1 Testing Information Section 6.2.1 was performed on June 9, 2010 Internal temperature was 23 C Barometric Pressure was 101.08 kPa Humidity was 34% Test was performed by James A. Mac Innes James A. Mac Innes – Design Engineer Exhibit 6 Page 4 of 20 FCC ID: EZN5PRCOM2000 4/17/2012 6.2.2 Occupied Bandwidth The occupied bandwidth measurements for the COM-2000 are illustrated in Figures 6.2.2-1 through 6.2.2-3. These measurements were performed via antenna terminal conducted scans. These carrier measurements were taken with AM modulation of 2500 Hz tone at an input level 16dB greater than that necessary to produce 50 percent modulation as defined in 47 CFR 2.1049. The 99% occupied bandwidth measurement is an automated measurement performed by the Hewlett Packard 8595E spectrum analyzer.

While the measurements show that there is an attenuator active, (in this case 20dB) the viewed signal measurements are calibrated to include this attenuation. The setup diagram is shown below in figure 6.2.2.1-1 Spectrum Analyzer HP 8595E COM 2000 RF out RF Attn -40dB Figure 6.2.2.1-1: Bandwidth conducted emissions setup Section 6.2.2 was performed on June 9, 2010 Internal temperature was 23 C Barometric Pressure was 101.08 kPa Humidity was 34% Test was performed by James A. Mac Innes James A. Mac Innes – Design Engineer Exhibit 6 Page 6 of 20 FCC ID: EZN5PRCOM2000 4/17/2012 6.2.3 Spurious Emissions, Antenna Terminal Conducted spurious emissions at the antenna port were measured over the frequency range of 30 MHz to 2 GHz. The first set of test data provided in Section 6.2.2.1 is for the spectral mask within + 250% frequency offset of the carrier fundamental frequency. The second set of test data, Section 6.2.2.2, is for all conducted spurious emissions at >250% frequency offset from the carrier frequency. All measurements are taken on the HP 8595E using a 50 dB attenuator to prevent damage to the test device. 6.2.3.1 Spectral Mask The spectral mask was measured at frequencies ± 250% of the allocated bandwidth centered at the mid-operating frequency of 127.9 MHz. The requirement limits are specified as -25 dBc @ 50-100% offset, -35 dBc @ 100-250% offset, and -53 dBc (43+10LogP) @ >250% offset. The same modulation schemes used for the Occupied Bandwidth were used for these measurements. Provided in this section are the unmodulated (CW) peak power levels measured at carrier frequency, which ranged from +38.6 dBm to +39.5 dBm for the nominal power output. Figure 6.2.3.1-1 Spectrum Mask @ 127.9 MHz, CW 6.2.3.2 Conducted Spurious Emissions This data illustrates the out-of-band conducted spurious emissions measured between 30 MHz and 2 GHz. The test requirement limit specified at >250% frequency offset from the carrier frequency is -53 dBc (43+10Log P) or, for 10 W maximum power output, approximately -13 dBm.
