This report is designed to demonstrate the compliance with the requirements outlined in Part 15 (using the methods outlined in Part 2) of 47 CFR. We found that the product met the above requirements without modification. The test sample was received in good condition. Test Methodology Radiated emission testing was performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4 (2009). The testing was performed at a distance of 1 meter. The device’s performance was investigated in the range 11.7-12.2GHz. The radar detector was powered by a variable power supply. Since the device is a hand-held unit, the emissions were maximized around the three orthogonal axes and the maximum reading was recorded. The integrated antenna cannot be maximized separately.
