(Manufacturer specified the separation distance is: 20cm) (5mm is the worst case according to the KDB) Step b) >> Numeric threshold (2402MHz), mW / 5mm * √2.402GHz ≤ 3.0 Numeric threshold (2402MHz) ≤ 9.678mW >> Numeric threshold (2440MHz), mW / 5mm * √2.440GHz ≤ 3.0 Numeric threshold (2440MHz) ≤ 9.602mW >> Numeric threshold (2480MHz), mW / 5mm * √2.480GHz ≤ 3.0 Numeric threshold (2480MHz) ≤ 9.525mW >> The power (measured + tune up tolerance) of EUT at 2402MHz is: -1.08dBm = 0.78mW The power (measured + tune up tolerance) of EUT at 2440MHz is: -2.42dBm = 0.57mW The power (measured + tune up tolerance) of EUT at 2480MHz is: -3.43dBm = 0.45mW Which is smaller than the Numeric threshold. Therefore, the device is exempt from stand-alone SAR test requirements.
