g) the different transmit operating modes in which the equipment can operate (see clause 5.1.3);

h) for each of the modes declared under g) the following shall be provided:

- the number of transmit chains;

- if more than 1 transmit chain is active, whether the power is distributed equally or not;

- the number of receive chains;

- whether or not antenna beamforming is implemented, and if so the maximum beamforming gain (Y) or

the total antenna gain (G + Y) for this transmit operating mode;

i) the operating frequency range(s) of the equipment;

j) the Occupied Channel Bandwidth(s). For non-adaptive Frequency Hopping equipment, this is the occupied

bandwidth when operating on a single hopping frequency;

k) the type of the equipment, for example: stand-alone equipment, plug-in radio equipment, combined

equipment, etc. (see also clause 3.1) and the presentation of the equipment for testing (see clause 5.1.5);

l) the extreme operating conditions that apply to the equipment (see also clause 5.1.1.2);

m) the intended combination(s) of the radio equipment power settings and one or more antenna assemblies, their

corresponding gain(s) (G) and the resulting e.i.r.p levels taking also into account the beamforming gain (Y) if

applicable (see also clause 5.1.3). For equipment where in receive mode, the antenna assembly gain and/or

beamforming gain is different from the transmit mode, the antenna assemblies, their corresponding gain(s)

(G) and the beamforming gain (Y) that apply in the receive mode;

n) the nominal voltages of the stand-alone radio equipment or the nominal voltages of the host equipment or

combined equipment in case of plug-in equipment;

o) any specific test modes available which can be used to facilitate testing;

p) the equipment type (e.g. Bluetooth

, IEEE 802.11

™

[i.3], proprietary, etc.).

5.3.2.1 Test conditions

See clause 5.1 for the test conditions. Apart from the RF output power, these measurements need only to be performed

at normal environmental conditions. The measurements for RF output power shall be performed at both normal

environmental conditions and at the extremes of the operating temperature range.

In the case of equipment intended for use with an integral antenna and where no external (temporary) antenna

connectors are provided, a test fixture as described in clause B.3 may be used to perform relative measurements at the

extremes of the operating temperature range.

The equipment shall be operated under its worse case configuration (modulation, bandwidth, power, etc.) with respect

to the requirement being tested. Measurement of multiple data sets may be required.

For systems using FHSS modulation, the measurements shall be performed during normal operation (hopping).

For systems using wide band modulations other than FHSS, the measurement shall be performed at the lowest, the

middle, and the highest channel on which the equipment can operate. These frequencies shall be recorded.
