The measurements for Occupied Channel
Bandwidth is performed at normal environmental conditions only. The test results comply
with the limits shown in the Limits on Occupied Channel Bandwidth - Non-FHSS
Equipment table of CE Regulations for SRDs Operating in License-Free 2.4 GHz/5 GHz
Bands [1] and are recorded in the test report. The test procedure for
Occupied Channel Bandwidth measurement is described in the following steps:
- Connect the EUT as shown in Figure 2-1.
- Use Spectrum Analyzer as test
equipment.
- For a detailed test procedure, see
clause 5.4.7.2.1 of EN 300 328 [3].
- Switch ON the EUT and other test
equipment.
- Set the Spectrum Analyzer to the
following settings:
- Center Frequency: The center
frequency of the channel under test
- Reference Level: 30dBm
- Frequency Span: >
2*Nominal Channel Bandwidth
- RBW: ~ 1% of the Frequency
Span
- VBW: 3 * RBW
- Sweep Time: 1 Sec
- Detector: RMS
- Trace Mode: Max Hold
- Use the Radio Testing Tool [9] to setup and configure the EUT. For setting and up configuring
the EUT, see the Radio Testing Tool User's Guide [10].
- Open the Radio Testing Tool [9] and setup the link with the EUT by using the Setup tab.
- Open the Tx tab and set the
transmission mode to “Continuous”.
- Configure the EUT to the desired
parameters such as Channel/Frequency, Data Rate, Data Pattern, Power Level, and so
forth).
- Click on “ Start Tx Testing”
- Observe the Tx signal on the spectrum
analyzer. When the trace is complete, find the peak power by using peak marker
function.
- Measure OCBW by using the 99%
bandwidth function of the spectrum analyzer and record it.
- Repeat the above for other data
rates/modulations and also other desired channels.
- The Occupied Channel Bandwidth (OCBW)
complies with the limits shown in the Limits on Occupied Channel Bandwidth -
Non-FHSS Equipment table of CE Regulations for SRDs Operating in
License-Free 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Bands [1] for all the above test cases.
