iRM4451 Tune-up procedure Each iRM4451 unit is subject to an automated RF Calibration as part of system test during manufacture. As part of the test, the RF output power level for each port is measured at a number of gain settings in order to calibrate the internal power measurement and then provide accurate power control. The calibration data required to do this are unique to each unit and recorded and loaded on the unit as part of the automated system test. The permitted power tolerance is +0.5 / -0.5dB.

Additional User Manual Statement - EM Field exposure iRM4451 RF Exposure FCC Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for equipment operating in the frequency range 1500 – 100,000 MHz is 1.0 mW/cm 2 . Following installation and commissioning, the safe distance from the antenna is the greater of: 20cm Or r cm, where r = √ (PG/4πS) P: power input to antenna(s) in mW G: numeric gain of antenna relative to isotropic radiator S: power density in mW/cm2 = 1 mW/cm2 The device has four antenna ports, so safe distance from the antenna shall be the greater of: 20 cm or √ (4*PG/4πS) Which gives 20 cm or √ (0.32*P*G) cm. The iRM4451 unit is designed to be used with one of three standard antennas combinations:  Four 2 dBi omni-directional antennas  Two 17 dBi 2-port cross-polarised directional panel antennas for use with 5 MHz channels  Two 18 dBi 2-port cross-polarised directional panel antennas for use with 10, 15 and 20 MHz channels Rounding up the total transmit power of 51 dB for four ports, gives the following safe distances from the unit: Antenna gain Safe distance (m) 2 dBi 1.26 17 and 18 dBi 7.95

In order for the Analyser to be able to accurately measure the EVM, it was locked to a reference signal from the iRM4451 unit. The transmit Frequency of the iRM4451 is locked to GPS in typical install and 0.016 ppm was added to the EVM error as that represents the worst case baseband card frequency stability. 48V DC supply Equipment under Test In Thermal Chamber Support Equipment Figure 1: Test Configuration 4.1 Test sample and Operating mode The equipment under test (EUT) was: Manufacturer Model Number Serial Number Altiostar iRM44510400 PLW47150004 Table 1: Equipment under test 4.2 Support equipment The support equipment was: Description Manufacturer Name Serial Number Laptop HP 250 Dvt-mobile altiostar Table 2: Support Equipment iRM4451 Analyser Laptop Co-ax RF cable With attenuation SC_TR_182_A Page 5 of 6 5 Test Results Temp (°C) System Freq Error (ppm) -40.0 0.0174 -30.0 0.0170 -20.0 0.0175 -10.0 0.0172 0.0 0.0170 10.0 0.0170 20.0 0.0172 30.0 0.0171 40.0 0.0169 50.0 0.0166 60.0 0.0168 Table 3: Test results Note : Varying DC input voltage by ±15% did not have any effect on the DC voltage output from the DC-DC power supply nor on voltage rails within the product and the frequency error at 20°C is unchanged for variations in supply voltage.
