Engineering Test Report No. 05102001-A Page 4 of 21 Measurement of RF Interference from A Model VER-1780 Personnel Badge Transmitter 1.0 Introduction: 1.1 Description of Test Item: On May 10, 2001, a series of radio interference measurements were performed on a model VER-1780 Personnel Badge Transmitter, (hereinafter referred to as the test item) serial number (not assigned). The test item was designed to transmit at approximately 433.9 MHz using an internal metallic antenna. The tests were performed for Versus Technology, Inc. of Traverse City, Michigan. 1.2 Purpose: The test series was performed to determine if the test item meets the radiated RF emission requirements of the FCC “Code of Federal Regulations” Title 47, Part 15, Subpart C, Sections for Intentional Radiators. Testing was performed in accordance with ANSI C63.4-1992. 1.3 Deviations, Additions and Exclusions: There were no deviations, additions to, or exclusions from the test specification during this test series. 1.4 Applicable Documents: The following documents of the exact issue designated form part of this document to the extent specified herein: - Federal Communications Commission “Code of Federal Regulations”, Title 47, Part 15, Subpart C, dated 1 October 1999 - ANSI C63.4-1992, “American National Standard for Methods of Measurement of Radio- Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz” 1.5 Subcontractor Identification: This series of tests was performed by the Elite Electronic Engineering Company, of Downers Grove, Illinois. The laboratory is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). NVLAP Lab Code: 100278-0. THIS REPORT SHALL NOT BE REPRODUCED, EXCEPT IN FULL, WITHOUT THE WRITTEN APPROVAL OF VERSUS TECHNOLOGY, INC. Engineering Test Report No. 05102001-A Page 5 of 21 1.6 Laboratory Conditions: The temperature at the time of the test was 20°C and the relative humidity was 25%. 2.0 Test Item Setup and Operation: 2.1 Power Input: The test item received 3.0 VDC from internal battery. 2.2 Grounding: Since the test item was powered with 3.0 VDC through a battery, it was ungrounded during the tests. 2.3 Peripheral Equipment: There wasn’t any peripheral equipment. 2.4 Interconnect Cables: There were no interconnect cables. 2.5 Operational Mode: For all tests the test item was energized and placed on a 80cm high non- conductive stand. For all tests, the test item was set to CW mode, thereby setting the unit to transmit continuously. The battery voltage was periodically checked to ensure proper operation at maximum level. The tests were performed with the test item operating at 433.9MHz. 3.0 Test Equipment: 3.1 Test Equipment List: A list of the test equipment used can be found on Table I page 15. All equipment was calibrated per the instruction manuals supplied by the manufacturer. The fundamental, harmonics and spurious emissions were measured with an HP 8566B spectrum analyzer. The spectrum analyzer peak-detected readings were converted to average readings using a duty cycle factor. All measurements were taken with the resolution and video bandwidth of the measuring instrument adjusted to 100k Hz below 1GHz and 1MHz above 1GHz. The duty cycle factor was calculated from the pulse train for the test item. A data plot was obtained to determine the duty cycle factor. The duty cyc…
