Web: www.bms-inc.com EQUIPMENT The 7GHz Truck-Coder II (TCII) is a non-broadcast mobile transmitter for use in the frequency range of 6425 MHz to 7125 MHz. This product supports the following Emission Designators: FCC ID Modulation Emission Designators CNVTCII-ODU-9 Digital 6M00W7D 7M00W7D 8M00W7D CNVTCII-ODU-9 Analog 15M0F8W Operation under FCC rule parts: 74 APPLICATION Truck-Coder II is designed for use in ENG News Vehicles (rule part 74). The TCII supports transmission of video, audio, and data. OPERATION The TCII operates in both digital (COFDM) and legacy analog (FM) transmission modes. It features a DVB-T compliant (COFDM) modulator MPEG2 video encoder. The system is designed to support the existing 25MHz BAS channel plans (in both Digital and FM transmission modes). For BAS application the entire frequency range (6425MHz to 7125MHz) is divided by two sub-bands: the low-band (6425MHz – 6525MHz) and the high band (6875MHz – 7125MHz). The 7GHz TCII is operable over 4 x 25MHz channels on the low-band and 10 x 25MHz channels on the high band respectively. Figure 1 shows a symbolic diagram of the 7GHz Truck-Coder system. The two-unit system consists of an Indoor rack-mounted exciter Unit (IDU) and an Outdoor mast-mounted RF Transmitter Unit (ODU). An optional second RF unit can be added to support dual band operation. The Indoor Unit (located inside the vehicle) produces 70 MHz IF signal by modulating the input video, audio, and or data. The IDU supports multiple analog and video signal formats and provides an industry standard 70MHz IF output. The IF signal is transferred through a long coaxial cable to the Outdoor Unit (ODU) located on the antenna mast. The antenna mast is an foldable structure on the vehicle rooftop. The mast supports the ODU, the transmitter antenna as well as the feed assembly as shown symbolically in Figure 1.

The 7GHz Truck-Coder II is designed for Broadcast Auxiliary Services (BAS) application.The product is used to transmit visual program material between the remote pickup station (at the news event) and the television studio. According to FCC Part 74.631, among the various applications in the BAS category, the closest that the product fits in is: TV Intercity Relay Station. The attached pdf file illustrates the application of the 7GHz Truck- Coder II in the TV relay station with more details. According to the drawing, the news television signal is picked up by the local TV camera and is sent to the ENG truck by the 2GHz portable BAS transmitter (Cary-Coder II). Once the signal is picked up by the rooftop receiving antenna, it will be directed to the 7GHz Truck-Coder II indoor unit wher the it is downconverted to the 70MHz IF signal. The IF signal will then fed to the 7GHz Truck-Coder II outdoor unit (located on the roof-top mast). The outdoor unit will upconvert the IF into the 7GHz signal which will be transmitted to the TV studio.

1 WARNING! RF RADIATION EXPOSURE HAZARD This warning is provided by Broadcast Microwave Services (BMS) Inc. for safety purpose. The following information help to reduce the risk of RF exposure hazard. FCC Limit of RF Exposure According to Federal Communication Commission (FCC), the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) for FR radiation has been set to 1.0 mW/cm 2 for the 7GHz Truck- Coder II equipment (OET Bulletin 65). The 7GHz Truck-Coder II is a non-broadcast transmitter and without an antenna it will not create RF exposure (power density) exceeding the 1.0 W/cm 2 FCC limit. However a high-gain antenna such as a parabolic dish will greatly enhance the Field- Coder II output power density beyond the MPE limit of 1.0 mW/cm 2 . In this situation a minimum distance from the antenna needs to be calculated in order to keep the MPE always below the safety limit. The calculation has been done for Field- Coder II based on the formula mentioned in OET Bulletin 56. The calculations have been done for different commonly used antenna in Electronic New Gathering (ENG) systems. Digital Transmission Figure 1 shows the plot of the minimum exposure distance for 0dBi, 5dBi, 16dBi, and 30dBi antennas. The 7GHz Truck-Coder II transmits the maximum power of 4 Watts. The minimum exposure distances are found from the cross points of the exposure graphs (for various antennas) with the line of maximum permissible exposure (i.e. 1 W/cm 2 ). Notice that the numbers in Figure 1 predict the worse case scenario, which is straight in front of the antenna (exposing to the antenna main-lobe). Obviously the side- lobe exposures are well below these numbers as the radiation intensity dramatically reduces on the side lobes. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 2 Estimated RF Exposure for 7 GHz Truck-Coder II 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 0100200300400500600700 Dis tance , cm Power Density, mW/cm^2 Max Permissible Exposure: 1mW/cm 2 30 dBi Antenna Max Exposure at 560 cm 0 dBi Antenna Max Exposure at 20 cm 16 dBi Antenna Max Exposure at 112 cm 5 dBi Antenna Max Exposure at 35 cm Figure 1 Summary In order the keep the RF exposure within the FCC limit, it is necessary to maintain the safe distance from the antenna. The results shown in Figures 1 can be summarized in the following table: Minimum permissible distance from antenna (cm) Antenna Gain (dBi) 0 20 5 35 16 112 30 560 Notice the above table indicates worst-case situation (straight in front of the antenna).
