Licensed Radio Services General Testing
Requirements

• FCC Part 2.1046 through 2.1057 Cover tests for
  all licensed devices.
• The basics rationale of all FCC tests originate
  within this section. This is the oldest of the
  FCC rules
• Built for the narrowband world, but still
  adaptable to broadband radio concepts

15
Licensed Radio Services Test Parameters

• 2.1046 - Power Output
• 2.1047 - Modulation Characteristics
• 2.1049 - Occupied Bandwidth
• 2.1051 - Antenna Terminal Spurious Emissions
• 2.1053 - Radiated Spurious Emissions
• 2.1055 - Frequency Stability for Temperature and
  Voltage Variations

16
Licensed Radio Services Test Parameters

• Remember that the purpose of performing the
  measurements required and submitting
  interpretations is to establish compliance with
  the technical requirement contained in the Radio
  Service Rules. These rules are pre-standards.
  In other words they evolved before there were
  generally accepted measurement standards and
  practices.

17
Basic Test Parameters

• Power Output 2.1046
• Traditionally thought of as a caloric
  measurement. Use of common CW power meters were
  common. Great deal of measurement certainty.
• Part 15 began the usage of peak reading power
  meters. Most unlicensed transmitter sections
  still require the concept of peak power unless
  specifically stated otherwise

18
Basic Test Parameters

• Modulation Characteristics 2.1047
• For analog radio transmissions (AM, FM, SSB)
  understanding basic parameters such as audio
  response and audio low pass filter were necessary
  to determine compliance. Testing usually required
• For todays constant envelope digital
  modulation systems this is basically unnecessary,
  but still must be described. Testing usually not
  required.

19
Basic Test Parameters

• Occupied Bandwidth 2.1049
• Occupied Bandwidth is defined as that portion of
  the spectrum where 99 of the emitted energy
  exists. The results are used to compare modulated
  spectrum with emissions masks.
• Although not explicitly specified, all
  Certification reports including Part 15 must have
  an occupied bandwidth plot
• Plot should be presented for each type of
  modulation

20
Basic Test Parameters

• Antenna Terminal Spurious Emissions 2.1051
• (Also known as Antenna Conducted Emissions)
• View levels of conducted harmonics applied to the
  antenna.
• An extension of the occupied bandwidth test. Show
  spurious emissions to 10th harmonic.
• Unless specified elsewhere, RBW should be equal
  or greater than Tx emission bandwidth

0
21
Basic Test Parameters

• Field Strength of Spurious Emissions 2.1053
• Test includes emissions radiated from the
  cabinet, chassis, and associated wiring. The
  specification is the same emission mask under the
  Radio Service rules extended to the highest
  frequency specified in 2.1057. Traditionally a
  terminated transmitter is tested without
  antenna.
• For Licensed equipment, the substitution method
  described in TIA/EIA 603 is the required test
  procedure.
• For Part 15 emissions testing, direct measurement
  of field strength is accepted. Device must be
  tested with its antenna in place.

22
Basic Test Parameters

• Frequency Stability 2.1055
• Done over temperature -30 C to 50 C and
  operating voltage /- 15 specifications.
• Battery operated devices should also include
  B.E.P Battery End Point
• Usually defined in ppm but other units such as
  Hz, are accepted as defined in specific rule
  section.
• In most cases, frequency stability is not
  required for Part 15

23
Certification Checklist Check for Accuracy

• Applicant name, address, contact info, email
  address. There must be agreement with the
  supplied contact information and the Grantee
  contact information at FCC website.
• Agent Authorization Letter
• Confidentiality Request Letter
• FCC ID
• Equipment Class if not known ask!
• Rule Part(s)
• Frequency Range
• Power Output
• Requested Emission Designator

24
Certification Checklist

• Associated Application (Composite Request)
• Confidentiality Request (See separate details for
  STC)
• Details to be included with confidentiality.
• Block Diagram
• Schematics
• Operational Description
• Parts/Tune Up
• Statement / letter supplied for special
  requirements or interagency coordination (if
  required).

25
Licensed and Unlicensed Transmitter Exhibits

• Certification Requirements for exhibits,
  labeling, etc, differ somewhat from the Licensed
  world.
• Compare 2.1033(c) Licensed Tx with 2.1033(b)
  Part 15 for Exhibit list
• Compare 15.19(a)(3) with 15.19(a)(1) for label
  language. Devices which are Licensed transmitters
  only with no accociated receiver can omit all
  15.19 langrage
• All Part 15 devices must address 15.21 and 15.105
  for manual
• RF Exposure language is additional

26
Unlicensed Part 15 Transmitter Approvals

  signals)

41
Spread Spectrum DevicesDTS/DSSS and FHSS(WiFi
and Bluetooth)
42
Spread Spectrum Definitions

• Direct Sequence and DTS - use a sequential
  modulation to spread a narrow signal over a
  relative broad band.
• Example 802.11b/g
• Frequency Hopper - uses an encoded narrow band
  signal that shifts in a pseudorandmly generated
  frequency shifts.
• Example Bluetooth
• Hybrid a combination of both Frequency Hopping
  and Direct Sequence systems

43
Spread Spectrum Frequencies

• Operate in the Industrial, Scientific, and
  Medical bands on a secondary basis.
• ISM bands are global and not restricted by ITU
  regions
• No protection from interference
• 902 - 928 MHz
• 2400 - 2483.5 MHz
• 5725 - 5850 MHz

44
WiFi 802.11b/g channels

• FCC rule interpretations do not allow the end
  user to select the country or region, nor do they
  allow the end user to download International
  driver channel sets. The only legal channels are
  Channel 1 (2412MHz) to Channel 11 (2462 MHz)

45
FCC Rules for Spread Spectrum Transmitters

• Power Output 1 Watt Max (except for specific
  cases)
• EIRP 4 Watts Max (except Point to Point)
• Antenna Gain limited to 6 dBi without power
  reduction from transmitter of 1 dB power for
  every 1 dB antenna exceeds 6 dBi
• Unique antenna connector required (except under
  professional installation)

46
Additional FCC Requirements

• For systems operating strictly as a Point to
  Point systems
• in the 2400 - 2483.5 MHz band, the power
  reduction requirement is 1 dB for every 3 dB the
  antenna exceeds 6 dBi
• in the 5725 - 5850 MHz band may employ antennas
  with directional gain greater than 6 dBi without
  reduction in transmitter output power.

47
Additional Requirements

• Must Operate on Non-Interference Basis (cannot
  interfere with others)
• Must accept that interference may affect
  operation no legal recourse
• Out of Band requirements including being 20 dBc
  down in any 100 kHz outside the Band of Operation
  (In reality, 75 dBc down from peak in the
  Restricted Bands is probably necessary)

48
Spread Spectrum Testing

• Radio testing typically performed in several
  parts
• Lab bench testing for all conducted tests
• Listed open field test site or Semi-Anechoic
  Chamber required for all radiated tests.

49
Spread Spectrum Test Software Requirements

• Must be able to turn on/off transmitter, select
  antenna ports, and go to receive-only mode.
• Must be able to select low , mid, and high
  channels.
• Must be able to run in continuous transmit mode.
  This means without any carrier pulsing. If this
  requirement cannot be met, then additional
  corrections are required for many tests.

  modulations.
• For Bluetooth, must be able to set to DH1, DH2,
  DH3

50
MIMO (802.11n) Considerations

• 802.11n is not a huge compliance issue.
• Be sure to measure RF Pout across each chain or
  output port
• Pout on Grant will be sum of all powers.
• SAR measurements are still under development by
  the Commission. Some guidance is available

51
Family Antenna Approvals

• Allows the use similar antennas without
  re-testing or filing a Class II Change.
• Example A 2dBi inverted-f antenna originally
  approved for use with a specific device. A
  manufacturer can substitute a 0dBi inverted-f
  from a different supplier without re-testing as
  long as conducted TX output power remains the
  same
• If new antenna of greater gain or different type,
  then Class II PC must be filed.

52
Modular Approval - DA00-1407

• Must have its own FCC ID number on the module
  itself.
• An ID inside manual is never sufficient.
• An additional label is required on the outside of
  the final host device with wording such as
• Contains Inside FCC ID XXXxxx
• Must meet the Requirements of OET 65 for RF Safety

53
Full Modular Approvals

• By Definition, these transmitters must have own
  reference oscillator. In addition a separate
  letter on Applicant letterhead addressing all
  these items must accompany the filing
• RF shielding.
• Buffered data input/output ports
• Power supply regulation
• Permanent antenna or unique connector
• Testes in stand alone condition
• Labeled with own ID number
• Instructions to operator / OEM integrator
• Must meet RF Exposure requirements.

54
Limited Modular Approval (LMA)

• If any of the 8 elements on the preceding slide
  cannot be met, a limited modular approval may be
  obtained in some circumstances. LMAs define
  special circumstances where Certification is
  valid
• Example 1 Wireless mini-PCI 802.11b/g card
  without voltage regulation
• Example 2 Wireless mini-PCI 802.11b/g card with
  SAR results which may apply to a specific chassis
  or model notebook PC host.

55
15.203 Unique Connector Requirement

• Standard Connectors now include
• SMA, TNC, BNC are not allowed
• MMCX, MCX and reverse SMA,TNC are possible
  candidates for in this list
• Integral Antenna requirements which used to be
  part of 15.407 have been eliminated

56
15.204 Power Amplifier Restrictions

• Must be seen as a complete end-to-end
  transmission system.
• Must include seperately approved transmitter and
  antenna, in addition to amplifier.
• Amplifiers designed for use with Spread Spectrum
  Systems must be approved as part of the system
