4. Calibration and Uncertainty
4.1. Measuring Instrument Calibration
Measuring equipment has been calibrated in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and is traceable to recognized national standards.
4.2. Sample Calculation
Field Strength (dBuV/m) = Measured Voltage (dBuV) + Antenna Factor (dB/m) + Cable Loss (dB) – Preamp Gain (dB)
Example: 36.5 dBuV + 18.7 dB/m + 0.6 dB – 26.9 dB = 28.9 dBuV/m
4.3. Measurement Uncertainty
Measurement uncertainty levels for tests performed on the apparatus:
PARAMETER | UNCERTAINTY |
Conducted Disturbance, 0.15 to 30 MHz | 3.52 dB |
Radiated Disturbance, 30 to 26000 MHz | 4.94 dB |
Uncertainty figures are valid to a confidence level of 95%.
5. Equipment Under Test
5.1. Description of EUT
The EUT is a GSM/WCDMA/LTE Tablet + Bluetooth, DTS/UNII a/b/g/n and ANT+.
5.2. Maximum Output Fundamental Field Strength
The ANT+ mode has maximum output fundamental field strength as follows:
Frequency Range (MHz) | Mode | Peak E-field Strength (dBuV/m) | Avg E-field Strength (dBuV/m) | Distance (m) |
2402-2480 | ANT + | 67.73 | 67.25 | 3.00 |
5.3. Description of Available Antennas
The radio utilizes an FPCB antenna with a maximum gain of -1.58 dBi.
5.4. Worst-Case Configuration and Mode
Radiated emission and power line conducted emission were performed with the EUT set to transmit at the channel with the highest output power. The fundamental of the EUT was investigated in three orthogonal orientations (X, Y, Z). The Y orientation was determined to be the worst-case orientation; therefore, all final radiated testing was performed with the EUT in the X orientation.
