AN437 Si4432 RF P ERFORMANCE AND FCC C OMPLIANCE TEST R ESULTS 1. Introduction This document provides measurement results and FCC compliance results for the Si4432B when operated from 902–928 MHz. The measurement results include receiver sensitivity, adjacent channel selectivity, blocking, transmit output power, transmit output spectrum, transmit deviation, and conducted harmonics. The FCC compliance results demonstrate a full FCC compliance scan to FCC 15.247. All tests are performed using an ISM- DK3 kit with a 4432-DKDB1 test card.The Wireless Development Suite (WDS) is used to control the test card. The results can be duplicated by using the same configuration and scripts available on the Silicon Labs website and referenced in the EZRadioPRO Quick Start Guide. All settings were used directly from the Excel Register Calculator worksheet provided on the Silicon Labs website. For measurement results with different RF parameters, contact customer support. 2. Relevant Measurements to comply with FCC FCC compliance in the US only pertains to output power, emissions, and harmonics. There are no receive sensitivity, selectivity or blocking measurements to comply with FCC. Two sections pertain to operation in the 902- 928 MHz band, 15.247 and 15.249. The maximum output power under FCC 15.247 is +30 dBm with Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum. FCC 15.249 limits the maximum rms field strength to 50 mV/m at a 3 m distance which is equivalent to a radiated output power of –1.2 dBm EIRP for a non-hopping system. The TX measurements in this report assume a Frequency Hopping System operating at +20 dBm under 15.247. Rev. 0.2 3/11 Copyright © 2011 by Silicon Laboratories AN437 AN437 3.
