Figure 1 shows the test configuration. The test takes place at the product Functional Specification (Ref.[2], Ref.[5]) specified conditions for BER rate measurements, specifying a BER equal or better than 10^-8 at a receiver input level of -55 dBm. For practical reasons these test are performed at -55 dBm or -53 dBm. This small deviation from the Functional Specification should not cause any deviation from the specified Bit Error Rate, since the received levels are well above the thermal noise. The test criteria for meeting the minimal processing gain is such that it takes the theoretical calculated SNR for the applied modulation technique and specified BER as a reference. From this given SNR the processing gain is subtracted, yielding the CW Jammer to Signal ratio J/S. From Ref. [4], likewise as Ref.[3] consulted in Ref. [1], it is determined that for a BER of 10^-8 the SNR (S/N)o equals: 13 dB @ 1 Mbit/s, 15 dB @ 2 Mbit/s, 15 dB @ 5.5 Mbit/s, 18 dB @ 11 Mbit/s. Thus the J/S ratio for a processing gain of 10 dB that must be met is calculated as: -13 + 10 = -3 dB @ 1 Mbit/s (DBPSK), -15 + 10 = -5 dB @ 2 Mbit/s (DQPSK), -15 + 10 = -5 dB @ 5.5 Mbit/s (CCK), -18 + 10 = -8 dB @ 11 Mbit/s (CCK). FCC ID: GKRPA307OU-1MPC Report No.: RF90032807 3 Issued: April 18, 2001 Two types of measurement corrections are allowed for as described in Ref.[1]. The first, taking into account 2 dB implementation losses, thus increasing the absolute J/S ratio by 2 dB. The second correction allows for deleting the 20% worst-case frequencies in the processing gain test that causes the test at that CW interference to fail. This implies that for the considered 14 MHz wide measurement interval, the worst case 57 CW jammer frequencies can be ignored, being those that result in received data errors/missing frames (20% of 14 MHz *(1 MHz/50 KHz) + 1 = (20% * 281) + 1 = 57). The measurements are performed at a 50 KHz CW jammer raster. For each CW jammer frequency 10^8 bits are transmitted by the reference transmitter, and received by the product under test. For practical reasons 50.000 messages are transmitted. After blanking out frame overhead 1927 bits per frame are monitored. This results in 50.000 * 1927 = 9650000 transmitted bits for a BER test, which is a mere 1.4% less than the targeted 10^8 bits. Though it would be more elegant to show BER compliance for at least say ten times 10^8 transmitted/received bits, the time involved with this grows significantly. Since the CW interferer is stepped in a 50 KHz raster, covering the receiver bandwidth of 14 MHz, it is considered that the BER requirement is sufficiently met since such a multitude of measurements are taken. Consider the implementation losses, we have the following J/S: -3 - 2 = -5 dB @ 1 Mbit/s (DBPSK), -5 - 0 = -5 dB @ 2 Mbit/s (DQPSK), -5 - 1 = -6 dB @ 5.5 Mbit/s (CCK), -8 - 1 = -9 dB @ 11 Mbit/s (CCK). In this test report, we are going to prove that the percentage of worst case is smaller than 20%. Only channel 2, the worst case, is shown here in this test report.
