The UUT was transmit- ting a test signal during the testing. 15.247(a)(1) CARRIER FREQUENCY SEPARATION & NUMBER OF CHANNELS: A near field probe was used to sense the signal of the UUT. The UUT was made to hop its full range. The spectrum analyzer was set to view the frequency range from 902 to 910MHz and placed in the memory mode. A plot (Exhibit #9) was then made of the display showing the number of channels, 50 and the separation of the channels, 154kHz. 15.247(a)(1)(i) CARRIER FREQUENCY DWELL TIME: A near field probe was used to sense the signal of the UUT. The UUT was made to hop its full range. The spectrum analyzer was set to view the frequency range from 902 to 928MHz and the center of the HOPPING RANGE was centered on the Spectrum Analyzer. The SPAN was then set to ZERO(0) and the SWEEP TIME was set to 20 seconds. Then by analyzing the plot of the total ON TIME of the UUT during the 20 seconds it was determined the dwell time on any frequency was less than 0.4Seconds, 23.70mseconds. See exhibit #11. 15.247(b)(2) POWER OUTPUT: The RF power output was measured at the antenna feed point by removing the permanent antenna and connecting the UUT to a peak power meter, HP Model No. 8900C. 15.247(c) ANTENNA CONDUCTED EMISSIONS: The RBW=100kHz, VBW =1.0MHz up to 1000MHz and RBW=1.0MHz & VBW=3.0MHz above 1.0GHz. The spectrum was scanned from 30MHz to the 10th Harmonic of the fundamental. RADIATION INTERFERENCE: The test procedure used was ANSI STANDARD C63.4-1992 using a HEWLETT PACKARD spectrum analyzer with a prese- lector. The analyzer was calibrated in dB above a microvolt at the output of the antenna. The resolution bandwidth was 100kHz and the video bandwidth was 300kHz up to 1.0GHz and 1.0MHz with a video BW of 3.0MHz above 1.0GHz. The ambient temperature of the UUT was 72.2Deg F with a humidity of 54.2%. The hopping was stopped at the low end, middle and high end of the band in order to test the radiated emis- sions. POWER LINE CONDUCTED INTERFERENCE: The procedure used was ANSI STAN- DARD C63.4-1992 using a 50uH LISN. Both lines were observed. The bandwidth of the spectrum analyzer was 10kHz with an appro- priate sweep speed. The ambient temperature of the UUT was 74Deg F with a humidity of 54%. APPLICANT: ADCON TELEMETRY, INC. FCC ID: MQXB900SS-20 REPORT #: T:\CUS\A\ADCON\694U0\694U0RPT.DOC PAGE #: 1 TEST PROCEDURES CONTINUED FORMULA OF CONVERSION FACTORS: The Field Strength at 3m was estab- lished by adding the meter reading of the spectrum analyzer (which is set to read in units of dBuV) to the antenna correction factor sup- plied by the antenna manufacturer. The antenna correction factors are stated in terms of dB. The gain of the Preselector was accounted for in the Spectrum Analyzer Meter Reading. Example: Freq (MHz) METER READING + ACF = FS 33 20 dBuV + 10.36 dB = 30.36 dBuV/m @ 3m TEST EQUIPMENT LIST 1._X_Spectrum Analyzer: HP 8566B-Opt 462, S/N 3138A07786, w/ preselector HP 85685A, S/N 3221A01400, Quasi-Peak Adapter HP 8565OA, S/N 3303A01690 & Preamplifier HP 8449B-OPT H02, S/N 3008A00372 Cal. 10/17/00 2._X_Biconnical Antenna: Eaton Model 94455-1, S/N 1057 3.___Biconnical Antenna: Electro-Metrics Model BIA-25, S/N 1171 4._X_Log-Periodic Antenna: Electro-Metrics Model EM-6950, S/N 632 5.___Log-Periodic Antenna: Electro-Metrics Model LPA-30, S/N 409 6._X__Double-Ridged Horn Antenna: Electro-Metrics Model RGA-180, 1-18 GHz, S/N 2319 7.___18-26.3GHz Systron Donner Standard Gain Horn #DBE-520-20 8.___Horn 40-60GHz: ATM Part #19-443-6R 9.___Line Impedance Stabilization Network: Electro-Metrics Model ANS-25/2, S/N 2604 Cal. 2/9/00 10.___Temperature Chamber: Tenney Engineering Model TTRC, S/N 11717-7 11.___Frequency Counter: HP Model 5385A, S/N 3242A07460 Cal 10/6/00 12.___Peak Power Meter: HP Model 8900C, S/N 2131A00545 13._X_Open Area Test Site #1-3meters Cal. 12/22/99 14.___Signal Generator: HP 8640B, S/N 2308A21464 Cal. 9/23/00 15.___Signal Generator: HP 8614A, S/N 2015A07428 16.___Passive Loop Antenna: EMCO Model 6512, 9KHz to 30MHz, S/N 9706-1211 Cal. 6/10/00 17.___Dipole Antenna Kit: Electro-Metrics Model TDA-30/1-4, S/N 153 Cal. 11/24/00 18.___AC Voltmeter: HP Model 400FL, S/N 2213A14499 Cal. 9/21/00 19.___Digital Multimeter: Fluke Model 8012A, S/N 4810047 Cal 9/21/00 20.___Digital Multimeter: Fluke Model 77, S/N 43850817 Cal 9/21/00 21.___Oscilloscope: Tektronix Model 2230, S/N 300572 Cal 9/23/00 APPLICANT: ADCON TELEMETRY, INC.
