ET3DV6 – SN:1677Page 1 of 22. October 2002 Additional Conversion Factors for Dosimetric E-Field Probe Type: Serial Number: Place of Assessment: Date of Assessment: Probe Calibration Date: Schmid & Partner Engineering AG hereby certifies that conversion factor(s) of this probe have been evaluated on the date indicated above. The assessment was performed using the FDTD numerical code SEMCAD of Schmid & Partner Engineering AG. Since the evaluation is coupled with measured conversion factors, it has to be recalculated yearly, i.e., following the re- calibration schedule of the probe. The uncertainty of the numerical assessment is based on the extrapolation from measured value at 900 MHz or at 1800 MHz. Assessed by: ET3DV6 1677 Zurich October 2, 2002 April 10, 2002
