Maude Avenue Sunnyvale, CA SIGNATORY: Mark Briggs Staff Engineer Revision History Rev # Made By Date Comments 1 Mehran Birgani 7-May-10 First Issue 2 Mark Briggs 9-Jun-10 Corrected power rating in summary for Category GZ to show correct value of 1.88mW/MHz. Changed "Nominal Output power" to "Rated Output Power" in Category GZ and Category WW transmitter test data. 3 Mark Briggs 14-Jun-10 Corrected all calculations for the rated power to include the power levels at the highest data rate. Corrected all calculations for the EIRP to use the highest measured power and not the rated power. Page 1 of 64 June 14, 2010

3 Product Information Product Information Product Information The Summit Data Communciation model SDC-PE15N is a abgn module for installation by system integrators. The serial number of the sample tested was PE15N E EUT Software Summit Client Utility (SCU) - Driver V , SCU V Summit Regulatory Utility (SRU) - V Modifications Made During Testing No modifications were made to the EUT during testing Deviations From The Standard No deviations were made from the requirements of the standard. Test Environment Temperature: C Rel. Humidity: % Pressure: kpa Product Power Supply - Determination of Voltage Regulator The device is designed to be powered from a nominal voltage of: 3.3 Vdc Option 1: If device contains internal regulation, vary input voltage to the device by +/-10% and measure the variation in output voltage for each regulator that powers the radio circuitry. If variation in regulator output is < 1% then we do not have to test at voltage extremes, just at nominal. Option 2: If device contains internal regulation, and the manufacturer has specification sheets that show the output voltage from all regulators powering the radio circuitry is better than 1% for an input voltage range of +/- 10% then we do not have to test at voltage extremes, just at nominal. We do need the specification sheets for the regulators and they should be inserted into the final report after this page. Option 3: Test at voltage extremes, and nominal voltage. Option 3 was used for this device. Page 3 of 64 June 14, 2010

4 RF Accessibility (Article 2, Item (19) Notice 88 Appendix 43, 44, 45) Requirement Product Information The EUT shall be constructed in such a way that sensitive RF parts, (like modulation and oscillator parts) cannot be reached easily by the user. These parts shall be covered by soldered metal caps or glue or by other mechanical covers. If the covers are fixed with screws, these shall be not the common type(s) like a Phillips, but special versions like Torx, so that the user cannot open the device with common tools. Results A metal shield, soldered to the circuit board, covers all of the rf sensitive circuitry with the exception of the antenna connectors. The shield is not designed to be removed (see picture below). Port 2 (802.11n) Main (802.11abg) Port 1 (802.11n) Page 4 of 64 June 14, 2010

23 Run #1: Frequency Error Date of Test: 4/19/2010 Test Location: Radio Lab Test Engineer: Mehran Birgani The device supports MIMO operation (plural antennas), but as the individual chains share a common reference clock within the rf chipset only one chain (Main Chain), was tested. For OFDM modulation with no provision for operating with an unmodulated signal measurements were made on a modulated signal at the top, center and bottom channels. The operating frequency was determined by measuring the frequency of the carrier observed at the center of the waveform that appears as a small peak within the central null. The analyzer was configured with RB=300Hz VB=10Hz, peak detector and max hold, as this gave the cleanest signal. For CCK modulation with no provision for operating with an unmodulated signal measurements were made on a modulated signal at the top, center and bottom channels. The operating frequency was determined by measuring the frequency at the null created at the center of the signal. The analyzer was configured with RB=300Hz VB=10Hz, peak detector and max hold, as this gave the cleanest signal.

25 Run #2: Occupied bandwidth and spreading bandwidth Date of Test: 4/20/2010 Test Location: Radio Lab Test Engineer: Mehran Birgani The occupied bandwidth was measured with the spectrum analyzer configured according to the table below. The occupied bandwidth was determined from the 99% power bandwidth by determining the highest and lowest frequencies at which 99.5% of the power was captured and then subtracting the two numbers. the calculation was done by either the analyzer directly or via the software used to capture the plot. One plot for each mode tested is provided for reference. The spreading bandwidth was measured with the spectrum analyzer configured according to the table below. The spreading bandwidth was the 90% power bandwidth determined by the highest and lowest frequencies at which 95% of the power was captured and then subtracting the two numbers. This calculation was done by either the analyzer directly or via the software used to capture the plot. One plot for each mode tested is provided for reference.

46 Run #4: Antenna Power Date of Test: 4/21/2010 Test Location: Radio Lab Test Engineer: Mehran Birgani Test Procedure: Step 1:Determine the frequency of the signal with the highest power spectral density Instrument Settings: RB=1MHz, VB=3MHz, Span > Occupied bandwidth, peak detector, max hold, sampling points > 400. Once the display has settled (no more peaks added) the marker is paced at the peak of the signal. The spectrum analyzer center frequency is adjusted to the marker frequency (Mkr -> CF feature), the span is then set to zero span. Step 2:Measure the output power Instrument Settings: RB=VB=1MHz, continuous sweep, trace clear-write The output power is the power measured by the average power meter connected to the IF output of the analyzer, corrected for the IF path loss, the value of the external attenuator (if used) and the duty cycle of the transmission sequence if the product is not transmitting continuously b mode - initial measurements on center channel to determine worst-case mode and rf port with highest output power.

For CCK modulation with no provision for operating with an unmodulated signal measurements were made on a modulated signal at the top, center and bottom channels. The operating frequency was determined by measuring the frequency at the null created at the center of the signal. The analyzer was configured with RB=300Hz VB=10Hz, peak detector and max hold, as this gave the cleanest signal.

52 Run #2: Occupied bandwidth and spreading bandwidth Date of Test: 4/22/2010 Test Location: Radio Lab Test Engineer: Mehran Birgani The occupied bandwidth was measured with the spectrum analyzer configured according to the table below. The occupied bandwidth was determined from the 99% power bandwidth by determining the highest and lowest frequencies at which 99.5% of the power was captured and then subtracting the two numbers. the calculation was done by either the analyzer directly or via the software used to capture the plot. One plot for each mode tested is provided for reference. The spreading bandwidth was measured with the spectrum analyzer configured according to the table below. The spreading bandwidth was the 90% power bandwidth determined by the highest and lowest frequencies at which 95% of the power was captured and then subtracting the two numbers. This calculation was done by either the analyzer directly or via the software used to capture the plot. One plot for each mode tested is provided for reference.
