3. Test Configuration of Equipment under Test

3.1. Test Mode

Investigation was conducted on all possible configurations to identify the worst cases. The following table lists the test modes used in this report.

For Radiated Emission test below 1GHz, Mode 2 generated the worst test result and was recorded.

For Radiated Emission test above 1GHz, Mode 2 also generated the worst test result for the test below 1GHz. Therefore, measurements for radiated emission above 1GHz followed this same test configuration.

3.2. Description of Support Units

The EUT was tested as an independent unit along with necessary accessories or support units to form a representative test configuration.

3.3. EUT Operation Condition

An executive program, EMCTEST.EXE under WIN 7, was used to generate a complete line of continuously repeating "H" pattern as the test software. The program execution involved:

• Turning on the power of all equipment.
• The Notebook (NB) sending "H" messages to the panel, and the panel displaying "H" patterns on the screen.
• Repeating the previous step.

Concurrently, the following programs were executed:

• The remote notebook executed "ping.exe" to maintain the WLAN connection with the EUT.
• The remote notebook executed "Bluetool" to establish the Bluetooth connection for receiving and transmitting signals with the EUT.

3.4.1. Radiation Emissions Test Configuration

Diagram Description: The test setup illustrates the connection of the Equipment Under Test (EUT) with its support units. The system includes an AC MAIN power source, a Notebook (NB), the EUT, and an Antenna (ANT). Peripheral devices like an Earphone and Mouse are also connected. The setup is further detailed with a Test Fixture and an Access Point (AP) for wireless connectivity (WLAN and Bluetooth). Cables used are AC power cable, ANT cable, Audio cable, and USB cable, with specified lengths and shielding properties.

5.2. Description of Major Test Instruments

5.2.1. 30 MHz ~ 1,000 MHz

5.2.2. Above 1 GHz

5.3. Test Procedures

The following procedures were followed for testing:

• The EUT was placed on a rotatable table top 0.8 meter above ground.
• The EUT was set 3 meters from the interference receiving antenna, which was mounted on top of a variable height antenna tower.
• The table was rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the highest radiation.
• The antenna, a half-wave dipole, had its height varied between one meter and four meters above ground to find the maximum field strength. Measurements were taken for both horizontal and vertical polarization of the antenna.
• For each suspected emission, the EUT was arranged in its worst-case configuration. The antenna tower height (1 m to 4 m) and turntable (0 to 360 degrees) were adjusted to find the maximum reading.
• The test-receiver system was set to Peak Detect Function with specified bandwidth and Maximum Hold Mode.
• If the emission level in peak mode was 3 dB lower than the specified limit, testing was stopped, and peak values were reported. Otherwise, emissions not meeting the 3 dB margin were re-tested using the quasi-peak method and reported.
• For testing above 1GHz, if the emission level in peak mode was 20 dB lower than the average limit (meaning peak mode complied with the average limit), testing was stopped and peak values were reported. Otherwise, emissions were measured in average mode and reported.

5.4. Typical Test Setup Layout of Radiated Emission

<Below 1 GHz>:

Diagram Description: The setup for radiated emissions below 1 GHz shows the EUT placed on a table 80 cm high. A Notebook (NB) is connected to the EUT. A receiving antenna (Rx Ant) is positioned 3 meters away, with its height adjustable from 1 to 4 meters. A metal full soldered ground plan is beneath the EUT. A Spectrum Analyzer/Receiver is used for measurement.

<Above 1 GHz>:

Diagram Description: The setup for radiated emissions between 1,000 MHz and 18,000 MHz is similar, with the EUT on a table 80 cm high. The receiving antenna is 3 meters away and adjustable from 1 to 4 meters. The diagram implies testing within a shielded environment, with the antenna possibly a biconical or log-periodic type.

<18,000~30,000 MHz>:

Diagram Description: The setup for radiated emissions between 18,000 MHz and 30,000 MHz is similar to the above 1 GHz setup, indicating testing within a shielded environment. The EUT is on a table 80 cm high, and the receiving antenna is 3 meters away, with height adjustable from 1 to 4 meters.
