FCC Compliance & CE Mark Compliance for wireless radios
PTI offers turn-key wireless radio approval testing at our wireless radio test station. This test station is very automated and can handle the following protocols:
- IEEE 802.11a, b, g, n
- Bluetooth
- Zigbee
- 900MHz Digital Spread Spectrum
- Frequency-Shift Key (FSK) and Phase Shift Key (PSK)
- Ultra Wideband (UWB)
- Anything falling under FCC Part 15: FCC 15.231 and FCC 15.247, and FCC 15.249
FCC part 15 are the rules for both "unintentional radiators" (devices which are not intended to communicate via wireless means but do have clock frequencies > 15kHz) and “intentional radiators” (commonly just referred to as wireless devices). FCC 15.231 and 15.249 pertain to narrowband devices, and FCC 15.247 describes the rules for broadband devices.
The types of test we perform at our wireless station include:
- Occupied Bandwidth
- Timing Assessment for Channel Occupation
- Channel Spacing, x # of channels
- Band Edge Compliance (radiated)
- Channel Plots in hop sequence
- Peak PSD (3 channels)
- MPE Assessment
- Antenna Gain Assessment, per antenna
- Out of band Signals (Conducted)
- Restricted Band Radiated Emissions
- Radiated Emissions, Transmit
