Summary The equipment or product described in section 5 of this report was tested at the Garmin Compliance Lab according to standards listed in section 6. This report focuses on the 2.4 GHz wireless transceiver(s). The results are as follows. Parameter Description Key Performance Values Result Data starts at page Radio Modulation Summary of the kinds of communication this radio can achieve, as stated by the client. [RSS-GEN at Annex A item 10b] Digitally modulated spread spectrum at rates as high as 72.2 Mbps. Reported N/A Hopping Channels The radio manages it use of channels appropriately. [15.247(a)(1); RSS-247 at 5.1] N/A. The radios described in this report are not subjected to the Frequency Hopping rules. N/A N/A DTS Bandwidth The nature of the radio signal is broadband, being at least 500 kHz wide. [15.247(a)(2); RSS-247 at 5.2(a)] The 6 dB bandwidth is 668.3 kHz or greater. PASS 15 Other Bandwidths Regulatory agencies also require the reporting of signal bandwidths using alternate processes. [2.202; RSS-GEN at 6.7] These values are reported but have no actual performance requirements. Reported 20 Transmit Power The transmit power presented to the antenna is no greater than 1 Watt or 30 dBm. The effective radiated power is limited to 4 Watts or 36 dBm EIRP. [15.247(b); RSS-247 at 5.4(d)] The maximum transmit power is 17.04 dBm or 50.58 mW. PASS 27 Antenna Gain The radio should not focus too much energy in any direction. Unless additional rules are applied, the antenna gain is no greater than 6 dBi. [15.247(b)(4) and (c)] NT. The client stated that the antenna gain was -2.78 dBi and will document antenna gain separately. NT NT Unwanted Emissions (Spurious) The radio should not provide too much radio energy to the antenna at frequencies beyond its intended frequency band. [15.247(d); 15.209, RSS-247 at 5.5, RSS-Gen at 8.9] Emissions outside the band must meet the ‘Class B’ limits of 15.209 or be reduced at least 30 dB from in-band levels. The measured reduction was at least 36.29 dB. The margin to the ’Class B’ limit was 1.6 dB or greater. PASS 35 Restricted Bands The radio must not emit in certain designated restricted frequency bands above a set of limit values. [15.247(d) and 15.205; RSS-247 at 3.3] Emissions in the restricted bands were at least 5.81 dB below the applicable limits. PASS 77 Power Spectral Density The radio must not focus too much radio energy in a narrow frequency band. [15.247(e); RSS-247 at 5.2(b)] The limit is 8 dBm in a 3 kHz band. The strongest emission level was −5.99 dBm in a band of at least 3 kHz. PASS 90 Page 3 of 98 GCL Test Report 2024-191 Version A This report may be reproduced in whole. Reproduction of parts or excerpts requires lab management approval. Garmin Hybrid Systems A radio that is both frequency hopping and digitally modulated should satisfy a combination of system rules. [15.247(f); RSS-247 at 5.3] N/A. The radios described in this report are not subjected to the Hybrid System rules. N/A N/A Frequency Hopping Rules Frequency hopping systems have additional functional requirements. [15.247(g) and (h); RSS-247 at 5.1] N/A. The radios described in this report are not subjected to the Frequency Hopping rules. N/A N/A Radio Safety The radio emissions must meet public health & safety guidelines related to human exposure. [15.247(i) and 1.1307; RSS-Gen at 3.4] NT. Client will report radio energy safety results separately. NT NT Frequency Stability The radio tuning must be robust over a range of temperature and supply voltage conditions. [RSS-Gen at 6.11] NT NT NT Unwanted Emissions (Mains Conducted) While transmitting, the emissions conducted into the power mains must not be too strong. [15.207, RSS-Gen at 8.8] Emissions other than the fundamental and harmonics must meet the ‘Class B’ limits. The measured emissions had at least 25.36 dB of margin. PASS 95 NT (Not Tested) means the requirement may or may not be applicable, but the relevant measurement or test was not performed as part of this test project. N/A (Not Applicable) means the lab judged that the test sample is exempt from the requirement.
