2.2 Facility

The measurements were performed in a 20 foot x 18 foot x 10 foot shielded room. The room is

treated with anechoic material in accordance with MIL-STD-461G requirements. For CE101,

CE102, RE101, RE102, CS101, CS114, and RS103 testing, the measurements were under

computer control in a control room adjacent to the main shielded room. For CS106, CS115 and

CS116, all of the test instrumentation was located in the main shielded room.

2.3 Modes of Operation

The AssetLink H-ISO 18000-7 transponder was battery powered for all testing.

2.4 General Setup

The general setup was as shown in the photos below. Additional photos are included in the

individual test sections.

Commercial software is used for testing. The program is Dare Development’s RadiMation

package, Version 2014.2.3. The antennas factors for the measurement antennas as stored in the

software are shown below.

The cable loss from the antenna to the measurement receiver as stored in the software is shown

below. The loss was measured using a signal source and power meter. A reference level was

first established on the power meter at each frequency. The entire cable was then inserted and

the power level again measured. The difference is the cable loss.

A preamplifier is used between 1 and 18 GHz to improve the sensitivity of the measurement

system. The gain as stored in the software is shown below.

Information used to determine the drive level for system accuracy scans is shown below. The

limit that is used is for RE102 small-fixed wing, aircraft applications. Injected levels in dBm are

calculated as follows:

3.1.2.2 RE102 System Accuracy Scans

The following scans are performed to verify the integrity of the measurement setup prior to

testing. A calibrated signal is applied at the antenna connection that is equivalent to a level that

is 6 dB below the MIL-STD-461G limit. The indicated level on the plot should be 6 dB +/- 3 dB

from the limit line.

Additional scans were taken using a real-time spectrum analyzer to observe the spectrum of

emissions when the transponder was transmitting. The purpose of this was to ensure no out-of-

band emissions are present.
