LIMITS AND PROCEDURE LIMITS FCC and Frequency Range Field Strength Limit Field Strength Limit (MHz) (uv/m) at 3 m at 3 m Above TEST PROCEDURE The EUT is placed on a non-conducting table 80 cm above the ground plane for below 1GHz and 150cm for above 1GHz. The antenna to EUT distance is 3 meters. The EUT is configured in accordance with ANSI C The EUT is set to transmit in a continuous mode. For measurements below 1 GHz the resolution bandwidth is set to 100 khz for peak detection measurements or 120 khz for quasi-peak detection measurements. Peak detection is used unless otherwise noted as quasi-peak. For measurements above 1 GHz the resolution bandwidth is set to 1 MHz, then the video bandwidth is set to 1 MHz for peak measurements and add duty cycle factor for average measurements. Duty cycle factor = 10 log (1/x). For this sample: DCF = 10log(1/0.62)=2.04dB The spectrum from 30 MHz to 26 GHz is investigated with the transmitter set to the lowest, middle, and highest channels in the 2.4 GHz band. The spectrum from 30 MHz to 40 GHz is investigated with the transmitter set to the lowest, middle, and highest channels in each applicable band. The frequency range of interest is monitored at a fixed antenna height and EUT azimuth. The EUT is rotated through 360 degrees to maximize emissions received. The antenna is scanned from 1 to 4 meters above the ground plane to further maximize the emission. Measurements are made with the antenna polarized in both the vertical and the horizontal positions.
