Introduction
This report is an application for Certification of a Transmitter operating pursuant to Part 90 of the
FCC Rules, Code of Federal Regulations 47. The model number covered by this report is BM702.
This report is designed to demonstrate the compliance of this device with the requirements
outlined in Part 90 of CFR 47 using the methods outlined in Part 2 of CFR 47. The current
revision date, October 1,1998, of each Part has been used for technical requirements.
The confidential information and descriptions included in this application are detailed descriptions
of the products, block diagrams, component specifications, and schematic diagrams. We hereby
respectfully request under the provision of section 0.457d of the code that the documents listed
below be held confidential.
Technical Descriptions and Block Diagrams

Product Description
The BM 702 level gauge is designed solely for measuring the level, distance, volume and
reflection of liquids, pastes, slurries, particulate materials and solids. Five different antennas are
available for use with the unit depending on the application. There are four horn antennas and
one Wave-Stick antenna. The Wave-Stack antenna has several different part numbers which
correspond to the different lengths of waveguide that lead to the radiating potion of the WaveStick. We tested the 6in Wave-Stick.

Test Methodology
Radiated emission testing was performed according to the procedures in ANSI C63.4 (1992).
Radiated testing was performed at an antenna to EUT distance of 3 meters below 1 GHz, and at
a distance of 3 or 1 meter(s) above 1 GHz. The actual test distance used is noted in the test data
sheets. The device’s performance was investigated to 40GHz. The EUT was powered by a DC
power supply for all tests. All other performance tests were made in accordance with the
procedures outlined in Part 90 of CFR 47.
Each of the antennas was investigated at the fundamental frequency to determine which was the
most efficient radiator – this was the 8in horn antenna. Using the 8in horn antenna, harmonics
and spurious emissions were checked from 7 – 40GHz.
Test Facility
Curtis-Straus LLC
All testing for the range 30–40000MHz was performed at Curtis-Straus (A2LA Certificate Number:
1627-01). The open area test site used to collect the radiated data is located at 527 Great Road,
Littleton, MA 01460. Site “M” was used.

Equivalent Radiated Power
Conducted measurements of the transmitter output were not possible, since the horn antenna is
permanently affixed. Therefore field strength measurements with a horn antenna were done
instead. The following is the calculation of the limit in field strength based on the limit in power.
ERP = Equivalent Radiated Power
PD = Power Density
V = Volts
Fundamental Maximum Measured Output =117.7dBµV/m = 0.767V/m @ 1m
PD = (V/m)^2/(resistance of free space [Ω])
PD = 0.7672/377
PD = 0.00156W/m2
ERP = 4πPD*R2
ERP = 4π(0.00156)*12
ERP = 19.6mW = 0.0196W = Pfund
Emissions 250% or more outside the fundamental should be attenuated by at least:
43dB + 10 log Pfund
25.9dB
To calculate the limit of the harmonics:
E = 5.5/(distance) x SQRT(Ptot)
- Formula for E-field from isotropic antenna
Ptot = 19.6mW – 25.9dB = 12.92dBm – 25.9dB = -13dBm = -43dBW
Ptot = 0.00005W
E1m = (5.5/1) * SQRT (0.00005)
E1m = 0.039V/m = -28.1dBV/m = 91.8dBµV/m
E1m = 91.8 dBµ
µV/m
Therefore the limit in field strength at 250% outside of the authorized bandwidth is as follows:
E1m = 91.8 dBµ
µV/m
