U-NII - Preventing Harmful Interference
Question: We are an OEM manufacturer and would like to certify our Part 15 U-NII device under the FCC’s rules and regulations. What software security do we need to have in place to ensure compliance with the rules for preventing harmful interference?
Answer: In order to comply with the FCC rules and regulations for U-NII devices to prevent harmful interference, the FCC requires that all software controlling radio frequency parameters be secured to prevent modifications to the software, including disabling dynamic frequency selection (DFS) necessary to prevent interference to radars, configuring the U-NII device to operate on unauthorized frequencies, increasing the authorized power levels, etc.
The FCC publication , Software Security Requirements for U-NII Devices, contains a Software Security Description Guide that addresses the software security and third-party software access control requirements, and a Software Configuration Description Guide that deals with user configuration.
Scaling of Resolution Bandwidth (RBW)
Question: We are designing a transmitter to meet the emission mask in accordance with 47CFR§101.111(a)(2)(ii). Can we use a spectrum analyzer with a resolution bandwidth of less than 1 MHz?
Answer: specifies the attenuation in a 1 MHz bandwidth. If you use a spectrum analyzer with a resolution bandwidth (RBW) setting less than 1 MHz, the attenuation specified by the FCC in a 1 MHz bandwidth must be increased by the same dB ratio. To do so, take your RBW setting and apply 10*Log; for example if RBW = 100 kHz, 10*log(1 MHz/100 kHz) = 10 dB. Add the 10 dB as a correction factor to your 100 kHz measurement results.
The video bandwidth (VBW) setting on the analyzer should not be less than the RBW setting. However, use of video averaging is allowed since the mean power of emissions is specified.
In general, scaling of RBW is appropriate only when the signal is noise‐like and is relatively flat across the spectrum under measurement. Bandwidth scaling is generally not valid for a continuous wave‐like signal, or even for a noise‐like signal with a lot of ripple in the pass band.
Licensed Amplifier Intermodulation (IM) Products
Question: We are testing an amplifier for FCC licensed certification. What should we pay particular attention to during testing?
Answer:斗地主达人 Without more specifics, we can only provide general advice regarding testing licensed amplifiers for FCC certification. The FCC’s basic application procedures for the certification of licensed radio equipment are contained in and . The basic operational technical requirements are contained in the applicable radio service rules, for example, , , , , , , and ; you’ll need to determine under which rule(s) your amplifier should be certified.
Additionally, a comparison is required of the input modulated spectrum and the output modulated spectrum. This corresponds to the occupied bandwidth test required under .
If your amplifier is capable of handling multiple signals, an intermodulation (IM) test must be performed. IM products are spurious emissions and are covered by the general emissions limitations (mask) in each radio service. This normally refers to the IM products produced by the transmitter/amplifier carrying two or more signals at the same time.
requires that measurements be made for spurious emissions at the antenna terminals while the transmitter (amplifier) is modulated。
Note: The FCC considers an amplifier to be a transmitter. Though 47CFR§2 and many of the licensed radio services do not have specific requirements for equipment authorization of amplifier devices, the FCC nonetheless requires that the IM test(s) be done with three signals of equal magnitude, at their highest rated output level, for each type of modulation.
The signals are spaced so that two are near to each other at one edge of the pass band and the other signal is alone at the other edge of the pass band. This placement will potentially produce both in-band and out-of-band IM products.
If the three-signal test cannot be performed because of equipment shortages or other limitations, a two-signal test is acceptable, however the three-signal test is the preferred/primary procedure. When a two-signal test has to be used, both the upper side and the lower side of the band edge must be tested, meaning two tests are made in place of one three-signal test. In either case, you should test all different emission modes that the amplifier will amplify.
Wireless Charging Battery Cover Requirements
Question:斗地主达人 Where can we find information on the FCC requirements for wireless charging battery covers?
Answer: We refer you to , Evaluation and Approval Considerations for Handsets with Specific Wireless Charging Battery Covers, published on December 16, 2015. It identifies the testing and authorization considerations, including information on SAR, EMC and HAC, for certain handsets with provisions to use inductive wireless charging capabilities through an optional battery cover. The charging hardware must be incorporated as an integral part of the battery cover supplied by the handset manufacturer, or it can be obtained as an optional accessory from the handset manufacturer. The procedures described may apply to implementations based on the Qi, PMA, and A4WP wireless power transfer protocols, according to the operating frequencies, receiving coil designs, and communication requirements defined in such industry standards.
