1. At first, bench tests were performed to locate the spurious

emissions at the antenna terminals.

2. In the field, tests were conducted over the range shown, The
test sample was set up on a wooden turntable above ground, and
at a distance of three meters from the antenna connected tot he
Spectrum Analyzer.

3. In order to obtain the maximum response at each frequency, the

turntable was rotated, and the search antenna was raised and
lowered. The EUT was also adjusted for maximum response. Tests
were conducted in Horizontal & Vertical polarization modes.

4. The field strength was calculated from:

E µV/m @ 3 m = Log10-1(dBµV + A.F. + C.L.)

NAME OF TEST: Scanning Receivers Cellular Band Rejection

SPECIFICATION: FCC: 47 CFR 15.121(b)

TEST EQUIPMENT: As per attached page

GUIDE: 47 CFR 15.121(b): Except as provided in

paragraph (c) of this section, scanning
receivers shall reject any signals from Cellular
Radiotelephone Service frequency bands that are
38 dB or higher based upon a 12 dB SINAD
measurement, which is considered the threshold
where a signal can be clearly discerned from any
interference that may be present.

WARNING: MODIFICATION OF THIS DEVICE TO RECEIVE CELLULAR

RADIOTELEPHONE SERVICE SIGNALS IS PROHIBITED
UNDER FCC RULES AND FEDERAL LAW.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
1. Equipment was connected as illustrated in the block diagram.
2. A standard signal was applied to the receiver input terminals.
3. Receiver output audio output was adjusted for rated output and with
distortion no greater than 10%.
4. The RF Signal generator was adjusted to produce 12dB SINAD without
the audio output power dropping by more than 3dB.
5. This was repeated at three frequencies across all bands to
establish a reference sensitivity level. The reference sensitivity
taken was the lowest, or worst-case sensitivity for all of the
bands.
6. The output of the signal generator was then adjusted to a level of
+60dB above the reference level sensitivity established in step 5
and set to the first of three frequencies in the cellular
subscriber transmit band.
7. Receiver squelch threshold, the signal level required to open the
squelch, should be set to open no greater than +20dB above the
reference sensitivity.
8. The receiver was then put in the scanning mode and allowed to scan
across it’s complete receive range.
9. If the receiver unsquelched or stopped on any frequency, the
displayed frequency was recorded. The signal generator was then
adjusted in output level until a 12dB SINAD from the receiver was
produced. The signal generator level associated with this response
was also noted.
10. This procedure was repeated for three frequencies in the cellular
base station transmit band.
11. The difference in between the signal generator output for any
response recorded and the reference sensitivity is the rejection
ratio.

THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN CAUTIONED AS TO THE FOLLOWING:

15.21 INFORMATION TO USER.

The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional

radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

15.27(a) SPECIAL ACCESSORIES.

Equipment marketed to a consumer must be capable of complying

with the necessary regulations in the configuration in which the
equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded
cables and/or special connectors are required to enable an
unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission
limits in this part, the equipment must be marketed with, i.e.
shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu
of shipping or packaging the special accessories with the
unintentional or intentional radiator, the responsible party may
employ other methods of ensuring that the special accessories are
provided to the consumer, without additional charge.

Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the

special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization or
retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party
responsible for the equipment, as detailed in § 2.909 of this
chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided
with the equipment. The instruction manual for such devices shall
include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned
with the installation of the device that these special accessories
must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user
to use the needed special accessories supplied with the equipment.
