ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS TEST REPORT BY COM-SERVE CORPORATION KITCHENER, ONTARIO CANADA RESULTS R902M-2-O COMPLIANCE (yes) (no) RF POWER OUTPUT Transmitter: 2.985 ( ) ( ) OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH Transmitter: 2.989 ( X ) ( ) SPURIOUS EMISSIONS AT THE ANTENNA TERMINALS Transmitter: 2.991 ( X ) ( ) FIELD STRENGTH OF SPURIOUS RADIATION Transmitter: 2.993 ( X ) ( ) FREQUENCY STABILITY Transmitter: 2.995 ( ) ( ) BANDWIDTH LIMITATIONS Transmitter: 90.210(j) ( X ) ( ) SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The R902M-2-O Radio Modem Device The R902M-2-O radio modem is intended for integration into other equipment to allow wireless data communication. The R902M-2-O has a standard TTL level serial asynchronous interface allowing it to communicate directly with embedded controllers and host processors. Radio evaluation and application development is facilitated by the radio monitor board (PCB-02120-001). The radio monitor board translates the TTL serial interface signals to standard RS-232 level signals. The RS-232 level signals can be directly interfaced to a personal computer serial port. The radio monitor board acts as an interface between a standard serial I/O and the RIM R902M-2-O radio. The board translates the 3.0 volt serial interface signals to standard RS-232 level signals. The radio monitor board also provides a regulated and filtered 4.3 VDC to the RIM R902M-2-O radio. The radio power and the level translation circuit power, are derived from a 05V @ 2.4A AC/DC power adapter, model number WR91A2400CCP. The R902M-2-O radio, radio monitor board, AC adapter, 9123 Eclipse II cellular antenna and all required interface cables will be typically marketed as the “RIM 902M Radio Evaluation and Development Kit”. The OEM 900 MHz packet data radio modem is formally known as model R902M-2-O . The RIM radio monitor board, RS-232 converter is formally model 02120-001 . The antenna used for testing and to be included in the evaluation and development kit is an ECLIPSE II magnet mount cellular antenna Model 9123 from the Antenna Company International Limited. Please refer to the attached data sheet for Model 9123. The model 9123 is a semi-custom device with a 6 feet RG58A/U cable and a SMA male connector. All other specifications are the same as standard models 9110, 9114, or 9119. Normal radio modem operation for live use is called burst packet activity. The radio is normally in receive mode listening to all network activity. When a data packet is received that is explicitly addressed to the radio, it then transmits a short acknowledgment packet. When data is to be transmitted from the radio modem, the radio modem first receives system information from the network to determine when to transmit. There is no deterministic pattern to the network traffic or transmit packet timing. To facilitate testing, the network's radio specification allows several test modes for transmitting continuous carrier without modulation, or with modulation generated from scrambler sequence or fixed sequence data. The transmit test modes were used for testing the radio for compliance to CFR47 standards. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION CONTINUED The R902M-2-O Radio Modem Device FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The R902M-2-O is a 900 MHz band, half duplex ( two frequency simplex), 2 Watt, transceiver system for wireless data modem communications on Mobitex wireless systems. The transmitter is capable of transmitting on frequencies from 896 MHz to 902 MHz with a 12.5 KHz resolution. The active receive and transmit frequencies are determined by the radio firmware for nationally allocated Mobitex system channels and by the Bell South Wireless Data system for operational local channels. The user is not able to modify the frequency of operation of the device. The transmitter is capable of the generation of RF power at several calibrated levels. The levels are 2,000 milliwatts, 1,000 milliwatts, 500 milliwatts, 250 milliwatts, 125 milliwatts, and 60 milliwatts: (+33, +30, +27, +24, +21, +18 dBm respectively ). The various power levels are used to balance the receive and transmit radio link. The power level is controlled by the Mobitex system in response to the received signal strength and power level instructions received. The output power level of the device cannot be modified by the user SYSTEM DESCRIPTION; CONTINUED TEST SETUP FOR: SPURIOUS RADIATED EMISSIONS TEST PROCEDURE: RADIATED EMISSIONS All tests were performed in accordance with FCC/MP-4, & ANSI C63.4. The Research In Motion Ltd. 900 MHz radio modem device model R902M-2-O, was connected together with a host IBM laptop computer, Epson printer, ECLIPSE II magnet mount cellular antenna Model 9123 and a RIM Model 02120-001 radio monitor board as described on the “Title and System Description” pages. The system was arranged in a typical configuration of use and placed on top of a one metre non-conducting turntable as per ANSI C63.4. All of the system parts were connected together with cables that are sold with each piece or generic cables purchased for the specific connection involved. Several different equipment placements were tried so as to establish the worst normal case of equipment positioning. In this case the 02120-001 radio monitor board, laptop computer, RF radio, Epson printer, and RF antenna were placed on top of the turntable. The power supply was placed at the bottom centre of the test table. All of the cables and cords were moved about so as to create the highest level of EMI. The complete system was operating as it would be in normal use. Special software was employed in order that the 900 MHz Packet Data Radio, model R902M-2-O was processing data in a worst case normal manner. The turntable was rotated through 360 degrees. A preliminary radio frequency scan was performed on the system to determine the worst case cable and equipment configuration. The attached results represent the system configuration maximized for worst case emissions in each frequency band. Please refer to the System Description. The tests we…
