ABG Tag and Traq UWB Module is certified to the requirements of RSS-220 for Ultra- Wideband transmitters pertaining to Radiated Emissions and Peak Emissions. 7 Module Operation and Use Overview The primary use of the module is to provide active RFID location capabilities to a battery powered device. The module is intended to be soldered on to a device’s circuit board. The modules will not be sold without the accompanying circuit board with controller circuit. The modules are capable of ranging to each other to within 1 foot of accuracy. The UWB module is a self-regulated device that accepts a 2.8V to 3.6V range. It uses 15mA to 200mA of current to power the module during idle and active times. The module can also be put to sleep requiring less than 5uA of current. The module requires an external controller to set its configuration and to put it in the different operating modes and to select channels. The primary means of communication with the module is by SPI bus. It also uses interrupt lines to indicate to the external controller when an event has occurred. A pin is also provided to wake the module from sleep mode. The module uses the DecaWave DW1000 UWB radio. The module is certified to use channel 1 at 3.5GHz center frequency and channel 4 at 4GHz center frequency as defined in the DW1000 UWB radio’s datasheet. The Channels with frequencies outside of 3.5GHz and 4GHz center frequencies shall not be used by this module. All communication requirement and register settings are defined in the DW1000 datasheet. Frequency is fixed by manufacturer at 3.5GHz and 4GHz with 500MHz and greater bandwidths. The module’s pins are defined in the module’s schematic. The RF output of channel 1 is from 3.1 GHz to 3.91 GHz. The RF output of channel 4 is from 3.48 GHz to 4.46 GHz. The module has an embedded antenna. The antenna cannot be changed with …

October 2, 2020 Office of Engineering and Technology Federal Communications Commission Re: FCC ID: 2AAXVLRTNTMOD1 Applicant: ABG Tag and Traq, Inc Dear Office of Engineering and Technology: This letter is meant to address any potential concerns regarding requirement 15.519 and provide documentation on how this requirement is fulfilled. According to “15.519, Technical Requirements for UWB Handheld systems”: (a) UWB devices operating under the provisions of this section must be handheld, i.e., they are relatively small devices that are primarily handheld while being operated and do not employ a fixed infrastructure. (1) A UWB device operating under the provisions of this section shall transmit only when it is sending information to an associated receiver. The UWB intentional radiator shall cease transmission within 10 seconds unless it receives an acknowledgement from the associated receiver that its transmission is being received. An acknowledgment of reception must continue to be received by the UWB intentional radiator at least every 10 seconds or the UWB device must cease transmitting. This module is primarily hand-held and may operate indoors or outdoors; its operation is limited under the provisions of section 15.519. The UWB transmitter operates as part of a system in which it sends short duration UWB packets to one or more receivers. The transmitter’s cycle of operation is as follows: 1) the transmitter’s microcontroller begins in a non-transmitting sleep state 2) the transmitter transitions to an active state, in which it sends a short UWB packet of fixed duration of 715 microseconds 3) the transmitter microcontroller ceases the transmission and returns to a sleep state. An oscilloscope screen capture of the 715 microsecond packet is shown in the figure below. Figure 1. Ultra-wideband Packet Per the 15.519(a)(1) requirement, the UWB transmitter is allowed to operate up to 10 seconds after which it must cease its transmission if it has not received an acknowledgement from the associated receiver. As demonstrated, the UWB transmitter will automatically cease its transmission after only 715 microseconds, meeting the requirement in much less than the allowed 10 seconds. The user’s manual has been updated to be consistent with this document. The updated manual states that the module is a Single Limited Modular Transmitter and addresses the appropriate requirements.

ONE WORLD  OUR APPR OVAL www.nemko.com KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v05r02 (February 7, 2014) 1. Declaration of RF exposure compliance for exemption from routine evaluation limits FCC ID: 2AAXVLRTNTMOD1 Model number: LRTNTMOD1 Manufacturer: ABG Tag and Traq, Inc. 4.3.1. Standalone SAR test exclusion considerations: During normal operation, user extremities can come within 20 cm of the internal antenna and therefore product is considered as “Portable”. The 1-g and 10-g SAR test exclusion thresholds for 100 MHz to 6 GHz at Test separation distances ≤ 50 mm are determined by: [(max. power of channel, including tune-up tolerance, mW) ÷ (min. test separation distance, mm)] × [ √ 퐹(퐺퐻푧)] ≤ 3.0 for 1-g SAR and ≤ 7.5 for 10-g extremity SAR, where f(GHz) is the RF channel transmit frequency in GHz Power and distance are rounded to the nearest mW and mm before calculation The result is rounded to one decimal place for comparison The test exclusions are applicable only when the minimum test separation distance is ≤ 50 mm and for transmission frequencies between 100 MHz and 6 GHz. When the minimum test separation distance is < 5 mm, a distance of 5 mm according to 5) in section 4.1 is applied to determine SAR test exclusion 3.418 GHz – Operation: Calculation based on the above formula: Separation Distance = 5 mm Radiated Output Power = -4.89 dBm = 0.32 mW Frequency = 3.42GHz Calculation = (0.32÷5)× √ 3.42 = 0.12 < 3 The calculation is below the threshold, therefore the product exempt from the SAR test requirements 4.35GHz – Operation: Calculation based on the above formula: Separation Distance = 5 mm Radiated Output Power = -1 dBm = 0.79 mW Frequency = 3.42GHz Calculation = (0.79÷5)× √ 3.42 = 0.54 < 3 The calculation is below the threshold, therefore the product exempt from the SAR test requirements NOTE: 3.418GHz operation: 71.9 dBμV/m (at .5m) – 20 log (3/.5) (adjusted to 3m) + 20 log (50/1) (adjust for total power output over 50MHz BW) – 95.23 (to convert to dBm) : therefore EIRP = -4.89dBm for 3.5GHz operation NOTE: 4.35 GHz operation: 69.8dBμV/m (at .5m) – 20 log (3/.5) (adjusted to 3m) + 20 log (100/1) (adjust for total power output over 50MHz BW) – 95.23 (to convert to dBm) : therefore EIRP = -1 dBm for 3.5GHz operation 2. Attestation ATTESTATION: I attest that the testing was performed or supervised by me; that the test measurements were made in accordance with the above-mentioned departmental standard(s), and that the radio equipment identified in this application has been subject to all applicable test conditions specified in the departmental standards and all of the requirements of the standards have been met.
