5 2. TEST METHODOLOGY All tests were performed in accordance with the procedures documented in EN v1.4.1 ( ) as referenced in v1.2.1 ( ). 3. FACILITIES AND ACCREDITATION The test sites and measurement facilities used to collect data are located at 561F Monterey Road, Morgan Hill, California, USA. The sites are constructed in conformance with the requirements of ANSI C63.4, ANSI C63.7 and CISPR Publication 22. All receiving equipment conforms to CISPR Publication 16-1, Radio Interference Measuring Apparatus and Measurement Methods. CCS is accredited by NVLAP, Laboratory Code The full scope of accreditation can be viewed at 4. CALIBRATION AND UNCERTAINTY 4.1. MEASURING INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION The measuring equipment utilized to perform the tests documented in this report has been calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and is traceable to recognized national standards MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY Where relevant, the following measurement uncertainty levels have been estimated for tests performed on the apparatus: PARAMETER UNCERTAINTY Radio frequency 2.0 x 10^(-7) Total RF power, conducted 0.71 db RF power density, conducted 2.9 db Spurious emissions, conducted 2.8 db All emissions, radiated 5.5 db Temperature 0.1 deg C Humidity 1 % RH DC and low frequency voltages 2 % Uncertainty figures are valid to confidence level of 95% and follow ETR 028.

6 5. EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST 5.1. DESCRIPTION OF EUT The EUT is an b/g transceiver with a PCIExpress Minicard interface DESCRIPTION OF AVAILABLE ANTENNAS The radio utilizes two PIFA antennas for Transmit / Receive diversity with a maximum gain of 3.62 dbi SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE The EUT driver software installed in the host support equipment during testing was AR5002, ANWI Diagnostic Kernel Drive. The test utility software used during testing was Art Software Revision 5.3 Build # WORST-CASE CONFIGURATION AND MODE The worst-case channel is determined as the channel with the highest output power. The highest measured output power was at 2472MHz. for b mode and 2437MHz for g mode. The worst-case data rate for this channel is determined to be 1Mb/s for b mode and 6Mb/s for g mode, based on previous experience with Atheros WLAN product design architectures Page 6 of 17
