Buried Site 1 Low Voltage Professional Testing 12/20/2007 1 Broadband over Power Lines (BPL) FCC Emissions Compliance Guidelines Access-Underground Emissions testing to FCC Report & Order 04-245 (FCC Method) Access-Underground BPL component being tested: Repeater Applicable Standards for this test: STANDARD TITLE ANSI C63.4 - 2003 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 EUT CONFIGURATION Product Type BPL medium voltage (MV) Access Gateway Serial Number 7353125931/6401625558/6938020727/6284826266 Model Number CXP-MVA-GWY (T3B) Marketing Designation Corinex NR – MV Gateway Chassis Revision Number MV-Gateway V1 Firmware Revision Number ac_CXP_GNR_GWY_A2_hv1_0_0_sv3_4_8_2_0_0 ECO Number (if applicable) ID # QIU-CXP-MVA-GNR EUT OPERATING PARAMETERS Modulation type OFDM Number of carriers 1536 Carrier spacing Medium Voltage, mode 1, Spacing 6.51 kHz Medium Voltage, mode 2, Spacing 4.56 kHz Medium Voltage, mode 3, Spacing 6.51 kHz Low Voltage, Spacing 18.23 kHz Channel bandwidth Mode 1:10MHz; Mode 2 :7MHz; Mode 3 :10MHz Lowest external frequency used 3MHz Highest external frequency used 32MHz Notching depth capability (dB) 30dB by default; 40dB maximum Carrier On-Off remotely? (yes/no) Yes Power Setting mechanism Default is power setting mask and notches active. Maximum power setting 50mW/mode, 150mW total. Range of duty factors (rep rates) 95% Highest internal frequency Crystal: 80MHz Description of operation The Corinex MV Access Gateway has 3 Powerline modules, an Ethernet switch between the modules, a power supply, and an industrial case that acts as a heat sink to the environment. The Gateway is attached to a utility pole via a bracket, typically located 20’ or higher on the pole. Two of the 3 outputs of the device used for Medium Voltage communications with one being used for Low Voltage Communications. The MV outputs are connected to an MV Capacitive and Inductive Coupler and then attached to the MV line, the connector on the MV Gateway is an TNC type coaxial connector. The 2 MV outputs allow for connection to additional MV Gateway devices either “before” or “after” the device. The power cord for the device is also used for signal transmission on the Low Voltage lines and is internally coupled. The Ethernet switch within the device allows for inter-module communications. Finally, a grounding lug is Buried Site 1 Low Voltage Professional Testing 12/20/2007 2 provided on the device that is attached to the grounding wire on the pole. The MV Access Gateway uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing for modulation, which is a complex modulation technique for transmission based upon the idea of frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) where each frequency channel is modulated with a simpler modulation. We use 1536 carriers in our transmission. In each transmission, its normal operation mode will result in 20- 25 pulse per second. Signaling type used is RF signals transmitted on MV powerlines with a frequency of 3-32 MHz. Unlike some MV Access devices, Corinex only uses Frequency Division Duplexing to communicate. The device is IP based and as such any IP packet can be transmitted over the network. Typical applications of the device include broadband internet access and the transmission of utility asset information. Rationale for selection of test site: This site was chosen as one of three representative installations for this component because the area was free of obstructions, and had low ambient. OBJECT This test procedure outlines the specific electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emissions testing requirements applicable to Access BPL Underground installations. This procedure will be used for the testing and comparison of results from various locations and system architectures.

The MV Access Gateway uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing for modulation, which is a complex modulation technique for transmission based upon the idea of frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) where each frequency channel is modulated with a simpler modulation. We use 1536 carriers in our transmission. In each transmission, its normal operation mode will result in 20- 25 pulse per second. Signaling type used is RF signals transmitted on MV powerlines with a frequency of 3-32 MHz. Unlike some MV Access devices, Corinex only uses Frequency Division Duplexing to communicate. The device is IP based and as such any IP packet can be transmitted over the network. Typical applications of the device include broadband internet access and the transmission of utility asset information. Rationale for selection of test site: This site was chosen as one of three representative installations for this component because it is free of obstructions and has a low ambient. OBJECT This test procedure outlines the specific electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emissions testing requirements applicable to Access BPL Underground installations. This procedure will be used for the testing and comparison of results from various locations and system architectures. EUT PASS CRITERIA Location Test Frequency Range Limits 9 kHz – 30 MHz 29.5 dB(μV/m) measured at 30 meters 1 30 MHz - 88 MHz 39.1 dB(μV/m) measured at 10 meters 1 88 MHz – 216 MHz 43.5 dB(μV/m) measured at 10 meters 1 216 MHz – 960 MHz 56.4 dB(μV/m) measured at 10 meters 1 “In situ” Radiated Emissions Above 960 MHz 49.5 dB(μV/m) measured at 10 meters 1 Note 1: Installations will be measured at slant-range distances other than those listed above. The formulas to find the dB value to subtract from the measured values when data are taken at distances other than those indicated are: 40log 10 30m/d n for frequencies below 30MHz 20log 10 10m/d n …
