We can issue the Grant in the lower power to agree with your manual, or the manual must be changed to agree with the higher power requested, and therefore, what the Grant would state. The FCC reviews all data submitted from the TCBs once the Grant of Equipment of Authorization is issued, and they are very particular that all test data and documentation backing that data be consistent. Therefore, we strive to ensure that there are no discrepancies, giving no reason for the FCC to question the Grant at a later time. Thank you and have a good day. Marianne T.

Radiated emissions measurements were performed on a three-meter open area test site (OATS). A complete site description is on file with the FCC Laboratory Division as 31040/SIT/MET. 3.0TEST EQUIPMENT USED ManufacturerEquipment Calibration DueCal.

The EUT with host external computer was configured for maximum signal gain and bandwidth. The EUT was operated in a manner representative of the typical usage of the equipment. During all testing, the EUT was configured for Single Channel operation and Multi-Channel (3 Channel separated and Adjacented) which results in maximum possible output gain. 5.0TEST TYPE(S) 5.2Occupied Bandwidth: 47CFR2.1049, Input vs. Output 5.3RF Power Output: 47CFR 2.1046, 24.132(b),(c) 5.4Spurious Emission at Antenna Terminals: 47CFR 2.1051, 24.238(a) 5.5Intermodulatiom spur emissions FCC ID: PNQC-BPB EMC11086- 4 -August 28, 2001 Po&[43%10Log(10)]'&13dBm 6.0TEST RESULTS 6.1TEST TYPE: Radiated Emissions 6.1.1TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION:2.1053; 24.238(a) 6.1.2TEST DATE(S):July 8, 2001 6.1.3MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES: As required by 47 CFR 2.1053, field strength of spurious radiation measurements were made in accordance with the general procedures of ANSI C63.4-1992 "Methods of Measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9kHz to 40 GHz". Preliminary radiated emission measurements were performed inside a shielded chamber with all digital signal generators on and terminated. The frequency list from the preliminary measurements was used as a guide for making final measurements on a 10 meter open area test site. The unit was scanned over the frequency range of 9 kHz to 20 GHz. The Radiated Spurious Emissions Limit is obtained by the following: Based on an output power (as measured at the output of the RF Amplifier) of 10 watts: P o = 10 W the radiated power level of all spurious emissions must be attenuated by at least 43 + 10log(Po) below Po, yielding: All of the measurable radiated emissions are related to the digital device portion of the EUT, and thus are compared to the 47CFR 15 Class A field strength limit. Mathematical calculations indicate that these field strengths yield radiated power levels greater than 30 dB below the -13 dBm limit for spurious emissions from the transmitter portion of the EUT calculated above. There were no observable radiated emissions from the transmitter portion of the EUT.

A digital signal generator was configured to transmit a CDMA carrier signal. Using an IF bandwidth of 100kHz, we determined the occupied bandwidth of the emission at the Input vs Output. 6.2.4RESULTS: Equipment co…

Every new application must stand on its own merit, previous applications cannot be just referenced. Any previous response to this, or a similar question, should be included in the present application as well. I am not sure to what FCC TCB training you are referring, but output power measurements should always be made with a RBW > or = the emission bandwidth, regardless of the frequency of the emission. I seem to recall that you submitted either new plots (last time) or a statement to the effect that increasing the RBW did not affect the reported levels. Please submit one of these 2 responses again. > > 2.

The plot below the one to which you refer, on p.21, shows a power level of 45.33 dBm, or 34.12 W. Please clarify exactly which power is being requested to appear on the grant.
