18 3.2 Radiated Emissions of Radiated Emissions The power of any emission outside of the authorized operating frequency ranges must be attenuated below the transmitting power (P) by a factor of at least log(p) db equal to -13 dbm Test Procedures 1. Measurement is made at a semi-anechoic chamber that incorporates a turntable allowing a EUT rotation of 360. A continuously-rotating, remotely-controlled turntable is installed at the test site to support the EUT and facilitate determination of the direction of maximum radiation for each EUT emission frequency. The EUT is placed at test table. For emissions testing at or below 1 GHz, the table height is 80 cm above the reference ground plane. For emission measurements above 1 GHz, the table height is 1.5 m 2. Measurement is made with the antenna positioned in both the horizontal and vertical planes of polarization. The measurement antenna is varied in height (1m ~ 4m) above the reference ground plane to obtain the maximum signal strength. Distance between EUT and antenna is 3 m. 3. This investigation is performed with the EUT rotated 360, the antenna height scanned between 1 m and4 m, and the antenna rotated to repeat the measurements for both the horizontal and vertical antenna polarizations. 4. After finding the max radiated emission, substitution method will be used for getting effective radiated power. EUT will be removed and substitution antenna will be placed at same position. Signal generator will output CW signal to substitution antenna through a RF cable. Rotate turntable and move antenna to find maximum radiated emission. Adjust output power of signal generator to let the maximum radiated emission is same as step 3. Record the output power level. 5. = output power of step 4 + gain of substitution antenna cable loss of RF cable. Report No.: FG P27L Page : 18 of 79
