FCC ID: ANO20020300D3L Document Number: FCC-19-0205-1 IBM Japan Ltd. 1623-14, Shimotsuruma, Yamato-shi Kanagawa-ken 242-8502, Japan To whom this may concern December 25, 2002 OET Requested Information FCC ID : ANO20020300D3L Applicant : International Business Machines Corporation Correspondence Reference Number : 221220a.ANO 731 Confirmation Number : TC1374 Original Requested Date : December 20, 2002 Subject 1) Please confirm if all optional transmitters can transmit simultaneously? If no, how is that prevented ? If yes, please submit a MPE estimation for 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz simultaneously. Please note each antenna/transmitter combination must have a separate RF evaluation (MPE or SAR) and that there were no RF evaluation performed on 5.8GHz or 5.2GHz. Please clarify. Answer 1) Yes, 3 Bluetooth transmitters certified separately can transmit simultaneously with the applying equipment. According to the FCC’s acceptance, the RF Exposure evaluation described in the submittal exhibits (RF_Exposure_xx.pdf) are valid for the configuration of this application. i.e. The separation distance between the applying transmitter’s antenna and each subjected Bluetooth antenna is 20 cm or more, and total emission power of the 3 Bluetooth transmitters meets the power threshold (5mW) for the collocation. Therefore the configuration of this application is allowed to be certified in making a reference to the footnote 14 of the Section 3 in Supplement C to OET Bulletin 65. Please refer the “Discussion Item 4 ” in the Attachment of this exhibit. And please find a revised exhibit “RF Exposure_C_up.pdf” for Subpart C. We updated the MPE estimation for each 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz band. There is no change for Subpart E. Subject 2) Please confirm if the Bluetooth and UNII card will be available as an option. Recent FCC policy requires separate FCC ID for each transmitter combination. Answer 2) IBM will answer later with a separated exhibit. Subject 3) Please confirm if this application is for a composite device (Part 15C and Part 15E). Please provide EMC test data, RF exposure evaluation, and FCC documentation for Part 15E, as appropriate. Answer 3) IBM will answer later with a separated exhibit. Subject 4) Please confirm the frequency range of operation of the transmitters in the laptop. 2400 to 2483.5, 2412 to 2462, 5150 to 5350, 5725 to 5825, and/or 5725 to 5850 MHz. Please revise the cover letter, as necessary. Answer 4) Please find enclosed cover letters for each Subpart C and Subpart E. Subject 5) Please confirm if Philips Components is the only OEM transmitter module (IEEE 802.11 a/b) available for this laptop? Do you have a second source card, Argon? What is the reference to Argon in this submission? Please note that new test data may be required upon further review. Answer 5) No, we have no plan to announce Argon for a second source. Note) Argon is entirely the same card with the application except an unique code for the BIOS lock logic. We only refer their original documents (Schematics, Block diagram, Circuitry description, Parts list) for the submission purpose. FCC ID: ANO20020300D3L Document Number: FCC-19-0205-1 Subject 6) Test report states that ART software was used to operate the program. What mode was used for all testing, T100 or another mode. Please state which mode were used for the tests. Answer 6) We reported the measurements for 24Mbps normal transmission mode for UNII device, 11Mbps for DTS 2.4GHz band, and 24Mbps for DTS 5.8GHz band. We have no driver software for 802.11a Turbo mode nor 802.11g 2.4GHz OFDM mode, so those modes are not supported. We measured all patterns of transmission power, then selected the worst case for the report. The selection process can be referred to the Section D “Operation mode of EUT” and Section E “Justification”. Subject 7) Data for the 5150 to 5350 MHz and the 5725 to 5825 MHz band of operation must be submitted. Clarify which rule parts you intend your device to operate under. Answer 7) Please refer the cover letter. The following is the combination of submittal documents. Documents Number: FCC 19-0205-0 : UNII 5180-5320MHz FCC 19-0206-0 : DTS 2412-2462MHz and 5745-5825MHz Subject 8) Can the user select the 2.45 GHz band or the 5 GHz band as their option. If not, how is this ability restricted. Which antenna is used by each band ? Please list all available transmitters for the product. Answer 8) Please refer the supported transmission modes to the Section D “Operation mode of EUT” and Section E “Justification” in the each test report for subpart C or E. The system supports both automatic or manual selection modes for the transmission channel, rate, or emission antenna port (right or left). As for the indoor use restriction of 5150-5250MHz band, users can disable those channels manually but the channel selection is usually controlled by an Access Point device. Subject 9) Please repeat all conducted peak power measurements, and run all new peak power tests using a peak reading power meter or use a spectrum analyzer band power measurement with the VBW > 3 RBW. Answer 9) The measurement results of the Table 2-2-3 (according the Method I of FCC Notice DA 02-2138) was just for a reference. Please take the results of Table 2-2-2 (Method III) for the official results. Since the Notice explains “If sweep time ú T, use Method #1.” But the actual sweep time is 50mS(auto) and Të 0.8mW(page 8). Therefore the Method III is the most suitable way for the applying transmitter. The VBW defined by the Method III is •1/T .. i.e. 1.3KHz or more. We measured with VBW=30KHz and got the equivalent values as the power meter method. To prevent the confusion, we would like to eliminate the Method I. Please replace with the attached “Test_Report-UNII_up.pdf”. Subject 10) Please make radiated emissions measurements in all adjacent restricted bands for all modes and bands of operation. It is noted that this type of equipment can be operated in a OFDM modulation scheme in the 2.45 MHz band. An…

The separation distances between the antennas and the human body are 20cm or more. Therefore the laptop PC can be categorized as a mobile device by FCC CFR 47 Section 2.1091. The highest conducted peak output power of the Test Report is 53.7mW (17.3dBm) and the maximum antenna gain is 0.85 dBi (See page 4 of this exhibit.). Therefore the peak radiated output power(EIRP) is calculated as follows. EIRP = P + G = 17.3 dBm + 0.85 dBi = 18.15 dBm (65.3 mW) Then, the maximum power density at 20cm distance is calculated as : S = EIRP/(4 % R 2 % o) = 0.0130 mW/cm 2 Since the applying laptop PC’s WLAN transmitter does not function to emit the radio frequency from both diversity antennas simultaneously, the above value is the maximum RF exposure to the persons and is below the MPE limit (1.0 mW/ cm 2 ). Therefore the laptop PC meets the MPE requirements for general Population/Uncontrolled exposure. Antennas are located at the same height The separation distance between the antenna and the human body (lap) is about 22cm .

RF Exposure evaluation for Bluetooth transmitters The applying laptop PC (ThinkPad R40 Series) supports three kinds of Bluetooth devices as follows.

Murota 3/9 The main and auxiliary antennas of the applying transmitter in the LCD section are assembled apart from each Bluetooth antenna shown in the previous page with 20 cm or more distance. Therefore the RF exposure evaluation for those Bluetooth transmitters is able to be done independently of the applying antennas. In other word, a collocated SAR testing is not required. When a customer operates the applying PC on one’s lap, the sufficient separation distance (minimum 20cm) between the above Bluetooth antennas and the person’s body (lap) can not be maintained. But the footnote of the Section 3 in Supplement C to OET Bulletin 65 states “ 14 .......... If a device, its antenna or other radiating structures are operating at closer than 2.5 cm from a person’s body or in contact with the body, SAR evaluation may be necessary when the output is more than 50 – 100 mW, depending on the device operating configurations and exposure conditions.” The total output power of the three Bluetooth transmitters in the previous table does not exceed 5mW. …
