2.1 Justification
The EUT was tested in a testing mode to represent worst-case results during the final qualification test.
The test firmware was provided by Tesla Motors, Inc Two modes are able to be set, normal mode and
testing mode. Normal mode is FM-CW signal sweeping in the operating band. Testing mode is one
carrier signal operating at fixed frequency.

An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible
party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a
unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this
Section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use
of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited.
As per FCC §1.1310(d) (3), At operating frequencies above 6 GHz, the MPE limits listed in Table 1 in
paragraph (e)(1) of this section shall be used in all cases to evaluate the environmental impact of human
exposure to RF radiation as specified in §1.1307(b) of this part.

Where: S = power density

G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator
R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna
The device is compliant with the FCC requirement MPE limit for uncontrolled exposure. The maximum power
density at the distance of 20 cm is 0.00014 mW/cm2. Limit is 1.0 mW/cm2.
As per FCC §15.35(d): Unless otherwise specified, on any frequency or frequencies above 1000 MHz, the
radiated emission limits are based on the use of measurement instrumentation employing an average detector
function. Unless otherwise specified, measurements above 1000 MHz shall be performed using a minimum
resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz.
As Per FCC §15.205(a) and RSS-Gen except as show in paragraph (d) of this section, only spurious emissions
are permitted in any of the frequency bands listed below:
As per FCC §15.209(a): Except as provided elsewhere in this Subpart, the emissions from an intentional radiator
shall not exceed the field strength levels specified in the following table
** Except as provided in paragraph (g), fundamental emissions from intentional radiators operating under this
Section shall not be located in the frequency bands 54-72 MHz, 76-88 MHz, 174-216 MHz or 470-806 MHz.
However, operation within these frequency bands is permitted under other sections of this Part, e.g., Sections
15.231 and 15.241.
(1) The power density of any emissions outside the 57-71 GHz band shall consist solely of spurious emissions.
(2) Radiated emissions below 40 GHz shall not exceed the general limits in §15.209.
(3) Between 40 GHz and 200 GHz, the level of these emissions shall not exceed 90 pW/cm2 at a distance of 3
meters.
(4) The levels of the spurious emissions shall not exceed the level of the fundamental emission.
The radiated emissions tests were performed in the 5-meter Chamber, using the setup in accordance with ANSI
C63.10-2013. The specification used was the FCC 15 Subpart C.
External I/O cables were draped along the edge of the test table and bundle when necessary.
The EUT was connected to DC power supply, and all support equipment power cords were connected to the AC
floor outlet.
Maximizing procedure was performed on the highest emissions to ensure that the EUT complied with all
installation combinations.
Using equation 2D²/λ to calculate the far-field boundary distance. D is the largest antenna dimension and λ is
wavelength.
D is 0.002 meter, and λ is about 0.0048 meter. Therefore, the far-field boundary is 0.0016 meter.
The EUT was placed on a turntable, which was 0.8 meter (for measurements below 1 GHz and above 40 GHz)
or 1.5 meters (for measurements between 1 GHz and 40 GHz) in height, and 3 meters (for measurements below
1 GHz) or 1 meter (for measurements above 1 GHz) away from measurement antenna. To find the highest
emission, the antenna height was varied between 1 and 4 meters, and the turntable was rotated for 360 degrees.
The measurement antenna’s polarity was also changed between horizontal and vertical.
The Corrected Amplitude (CA) is calculated by adding the Correction Factor to the S.A. Reading. The basic
equation is as follows:
CA = S.A. Reading + Correction Factor
For example, a corrected amplitude of 40.3 dBuV/m = S.A. Reading (32.5 dBuV) + Correction Factor (7.8
dB/m)
The Correction Factor is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor (AF), the Cable Loss (CL), the Attenuator
Factor (Atten) and subtracting the Amplifier Gain (Ga) together. This calculation is done in the measurement
software, and reported in the test result section. The basic equation is as follows:
Correction Factor = AF + CL + Atten – Ga
The “Margin” column of the following data tables indicates the degree of compliance within the applicable
limit. For example, a margin of -7 dB means the emission is 7 dB below the maximum limit. The equation for
margin calculation is as follows:
The Corrected Amplitude (CA) is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor (AF), the Cable Loss (CL), the
Attenuator Factor (Atten) and subtracting the Amplifier Gain (Ga) to indicated Amplitude (Ai) reading. The
basic equation is as follows:
CA = Ai + AF + CL + Atten – Ga
For example, a corrected amplitude of 40.3 dBuV/m = Indicated Reading (32.5 dBuV) + Antenna Factor
(+23.5dB) + Cable Loss (3.7 dB) + Attenuator (10 dB) - Amplifier Gain (29.4 dB)
The e.i.r.p. is calculated from the corrected field strength by using the following formula,
Finally, use the formula below to calculate the power density and compare the result with the limit.
PD = EIRPLinear/4πd2
Where:
PD: is the power density at the distance specified by the limit, in W/m2
EIRPlinear: is the equivalent isotropically radiated power, in watts
d: is the distance at which the power density limit is specified, in m

According to ECFR §15.255 (c) (3) for fixed field disturbance sensors other than those operating under the
provisions of paragraph (c)(2) of this section, and short-range devices for interactive motion sensing, the peak
transmitter conducted output power shall not exceed −10 dBm and the peak EIRP level shall not exceed 10
dBm.
The measurements for Fundamental E.I.R.P Output Power where done by following the procedure in ANSI
C63.10-2013 Clause 9.11Measurement of the fundamental emission using an RF detector.
1) Using equation 2D²/λ to calculate the far-field boundary distance. D is the largest antenna dimension
and λ is wavelength. D is 0.012 meter, and λ is about 0.0048 meter. Therefore the far-field boundary is
0.06 meter.
2) The measurement instrument shall be a mm-wave RF detector that has an RF bandwidth encompassing
the entire authorized frequency band. The input VSWT of the mm-wave detector shall be less than 3:1.
3) For radiated emissions measurements of transmitter output power, connect the test antenna for the
fundamental frequency band to the mm-wave RF detector. Place the test horn in the main beam of the
EUT at a distance that will provide a signal within the operating range of the RF detector.
4) Connect the video output of the detector to the 50 Ω input of a DSO.
5) Set the sampling rate of the DSO to at least twice the cutoff frequency of any LPF used or to at least
twice the signal bandwidth without a LPF. Adjust the memory depth, the triggering, and the sweep
speed to obtain a display that is representative of the signal considering the type of modulation.
6) Determine the maximum measurement distance and set the EUT within the distance.
