Instructors
Workshop features leading industry experts and ANSI ASC C63® members, including Art Wall (Radio Regulatory Consultants, Inc.)—lead instructor, Mike Windler (UL), Bob Delisi (UL) & Bill Hurst (FCC)--(Note: Instructors may be changed, as required.)
Course Description
This workshop is intended to cover a new standard, ANSI C63.10, containing procedures for testing compliance of a wide variety of unlicensed wireless devices. The new standard (expected to be published this summer) will for the first time have in one place all the reference material needed for performing such tests which are now in a plethora of documents, e.g. FCC Rules, Knowledge Data Base (KDB), rulemaking documents, ANSI C63.4, etc. The devices covered in the standard include: remote control and security transmitters, Frequency Hopping and Digital Communication Spread Spectrum devices, anti-pilferage devices, cordless telephones, wireless medical transmitters, Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure Devices, Intrusion Detectors, Unlicensed Wireless Devices below 30 MHz, Automatic Vehicle Identification Systems and other devices authorized under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations.
The workshop will be combination of classroom presentations and actual laboratory demonstrations of selected measurements in a semi anechoic chamber using test instrumentation that is needed for such tests. The lab demos are intended to highlight the nuances of making some of the more challenging measurements with emphasizes on the application and practical use of the standard.
