FCC对于2.4GHz无线产品的认证路径有两条
- FCC §15.247 针对的产品是
- Frequency hopping and digitally modulated intentional radiators
- 对于后者,还需要满足The minimum 6 dB bandwidth shall be at least 500 kHz
- FCC §15.249 针对的产品是低功率、窄带宽的intentional radiators
对于2.4GHz无线产品,无论是符合 FCC §15.247 还是 FCC §15.249,因为其二次谐波(4.8GHz ~ 4.96GHz)的全部和三次谐波(7.2GHz ~ 7.44GHz)的大部分都在 FCC §15.205 规定的 Restricted bands : 4.5-5.15GHz 和 7.25-7.75GHz ,所以都需符合 FCC §15.209 对辐射强度的严格约束。
FCC §15.209 规定:
- 对于Frequency Above 960MHz
- Measurement distance为 3m
- Field strength shall not exceed 500μV/m
- 对检波器要求:Above 1000 MHz, Radiated emission limit is based on measurements employing an average detector.
为了便于研发阶段测试,需要把Field Strength (辐射场强) 转换为芯片RF Antenna Pin的的传导功率。500μV/m 等效全向辐射功率 (EIRP) 为 -41.25dBm。
远场条件下,电场强度 (E) 与等效全向辐射功率 (EIRP) 的关系如下:
E = 30 ⋅ E I R P r E=\frac{\sqrt{30\cdot \mathrm{EIRP}}}{r} E=r30⋅EIRP
三次谐波的 7.2GHz ~ 7.25GHz 在 非受限频段,
- FCC §15.247(d) 要求
- In any 100 kHz bandwidth outside the frequency band, the radio frequency power shall be at least 20 dB below that in the 100 kHz bandwidth within the band that contains the highest level of the desired power.
- 如果采用检测采用RMS averaging over a time interval,shall be 30 dB instead of 20 dB.
- FCC §15.249(a) 要求
- Field strength of harmonics 不能超过 500μV/m
- Field strength limits are specified at a distance of 3 meters
