ENGINEERING STATEMENT For Type Certification of Racal NCS, Inc. Model No. Tracs TDMA FCC ID: OSPTRACS I am an Electronics Engineer, a principal in the firm of Hyak Laboratories, Inc., Springfield, Virginia. My education and experience are a matter of record with the Federal Communications Commission. Hyak Laboratories, Inc. has been authorized by Racal NCS, Inc., to make type certification measurements on the Tracs TDMA transceiver. These tests made by me or under my supervision in our Springfield laboratory. Test data and documentation required by the FCC for type certification are included in this report. The data verifies that the above mentioned transceiver meets FCC requirements and type certification is requested. _________________________ Rowland S. Johnson Dated: October 12, 1999 A. INTRODUCTION The following data are submitted in connection with this request for type certification of the Tracs TDMA transceiver in accordance with Part 2, Subpart J of the FCC Rules. The Tracs TDMA is a VHF, non-voice, 25/12.5 kHz channel, 10 watt transceiver intended for data-link applications in the 136-174 MHz band, operating under Subpart D, Industrial Radio Services, using time division multiple access, (TDMA) Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK). Tracs TDMA is a high speed, intelligent network radio datalink which operates in the VHF/UHF band to provide an addressable network datalink with integrated position reporting from an internal or external GPS receiver. It is primarily intended for vehicle and vessel tracking applications although it can be used for general data communication. B. GENERAL INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR TYPE CERTIFICATION (Paragraph 2.983 of the Rules) 1. Name of applicant: Racal NCS, Inc. 2. Identification of equipment: FCC ID: OSPTRACS a. The equipment identification label is submitted as a separate exhibit. b. Photographs of the equipment are submitted as a separate exhibit. 3. Quantity production is planned. 4. Technical description: a. 16k9F1D or 11k1F1D emission b. Frequency range: 136 - 174 MHz c. Operating power of transmitter is fixed at the factory at 10 watts, and can be Programmed to 500 mW. d. Maximum power permitted under Part 90 of the FCC is 350 watts, and the Tracs TDMA fully complied with those power limitations. e. The dc voltage and dc currents at final amplifier: Collector voltage: 10.0 V Collector current: 1.9 mA f. Function of each active semiconductor device: See Appendix 1. g. Circuit diagrams (6) are submitted as a separate exhibit. h. User instruction book is submitted as a separate exhibit. i. Transmitter tune-up procedure is submitted as a separate exhibit. j. A description of circuits for stabilizing frequency. See Appendix 3. 2 B. GENERAL INFORMATION...(Continued) k. A description of circuits and devices employed for suppression of spurious radiation And for limiting modulation. See Exhibit 4. l. Not applicable. 5. Data for 2.985 through 2.997 follow this section. 6. Transient frequency behavior of the equipment is included in Appendix 2. 7. RF Power Output (Paragraph 2.985(a) of the Rules) RF power output was measured with a Bird 4421 RF power meter and a Narda 765-20 attenuator as a 50 ohm dummy load. Maximum power measured was 9.8W, minimum 0.5W. The transmitter was tuned according to the procedure of Exhibit 4 with a supply voltage of 13.8 Vdc. C. MODULATION CHARACTERISTICS 1. The Tracs TDMA has no provisions for voice input and is intended only for data transmission. The requirements 2.987(a)(b), 90.211(c) and 90.211(d) do not apply. 2. Occupied Bandwidth (Paragraphs 2.989(c) and 90.209(c) or (d) of the Rules) Figures 1a and 1b; 2a and 2b are plots of the sideband envelope of the transmitter for both 25 and 12.5 kHz channels at rated Hi/Lo power level, taken from a Advantest R3361A spectrum analyzer. CW reference level was 0 dBm (top of screen) for each plot, with modulation corresponding to 19.2/9.6 kps channel efficiency respectively per 90.203(j)(3), and consisted of internally generated random data. The plots are within the limits imposed by Paragraph 90.209(c)/90.209(d) for frequency modulation. The horizontal scale (frequency) is 10 kHz per division and the vertical scale (amplitude) is a logarithmic presentation equal to 10 dB per division. Resolution bandwidth was 100 Hz; video bandwidth was 100 kHz. Emission designator was determined by measurement of the spectrum occupied by 99% of the emitted power, using an HP 8569E spectrum analyzer. 3 FIGURE 1a OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH 25 kHz, 10 watt ATTENUATION IN dB Required (1) On any frequency of more than 5 kHz but less than 10 kHz: At least 83 Log 10 (fd/5) decibels. 25 (2) On any frequency of more than 10 kHz up to and including 250% (50 kHz) of the authorized 20 kHz bandwidth: At least 29 Log 10 (fd 2 /11) 50 decibels or 50 decibels, whichever is the lesser attenuation.
