Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: HDCTRC4205L1 1 Washington Laboratories, Ltd. 7560 LINDBERGH DRIVE GAITHERSBURG, MD 20879 (301) 417 – 0220 FAX # (301) 417 - 9069 July 2, 2004 Mr. William Graff American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave McLean, VA 22101 RE: Comments of June 23, 2004 APPLICATION: FCC ID: HDCTRC4205L1 Adtran, Inc. Dear Mr. Graff: Below are the comments that you have provided regarding the application for certification referenced above. Our responses to those comments are in bold italic. Many responses refer you to additional exhibit(s) which has been uploaded to the application folder at the ATCB website. Thank you for your attention. Please feel free to contact us for any additional information that you may require. Regards, Gregory M. Snyder Chief EMC Engineer, Wireless/Telco Services Manager Brian J. Dettling Documentation Specialist WLL Project: 8030 1.) Page 15 of the Manual indicates antennas up to 44.2dBi gain can be used with this system. However, the RF Exposure evaluation shows just a 32dBi antenna. Please address this discrepancy throughout this filing. R. The MPE has been re-calculated. Please see exhibit “4205L1 RF Exposure Info rev1.pdf”. 2.) The chanelization specified on Page 35 of the Manual does not match Form 731 or the Test Report. Please address. Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: HDCTRC4205L1 2 R. The manual has been corrected to the correct frequency. Please see exhibit “4205L1 User Manual Rev1.pdf”. 3.) The Manual supplied does not contain any antenna installation instructions – specifically as to how RF exposure to bystanders shall be limited to the Uncontrolled Exposure limits or below. Please correct. R. Antenna installation instructions referencing RF exposure are included in the User’s Manual on page 10. 4.) All Part 15 intentional radiators must conform to the radiated limits of 15.209 and 15.205. Please explain how the Class A statement on page 5 of the Manual is acceptable. R. The Class A information is for the digital section and not the radio device of the unit. 5.) The emission bandwidth of the transmitted emission is over 20MHz wide but the spectral power bandwidth is shown on only a 300KHz span. Please prove that your 300KHz span is indeed on highest point of the emission. R. The entire bandwidth of the peak signal was scanned as the resolution bandwidth was reduced until a peak signal was identified. Once the peak was identified, the resolution bandwidth was reduced and the spectrum analyzer settings were adjusted for making an appropriate measurement. 6.) The Pout on Form 731 does not match the measured peak Pout in the test report. R. The Pout on the Form 731 has been corrected to match the measured Pout. Please see exhibit “4205L1 Form 731 rev1.pdf”. 7.) Please provide 15.205 radiated restricted band data using the highest gain antenna used with the system. R. Please consider that the 44 dBi dish is 12 feet in diameter, which makes it impractical to test. There have been past discussions with ATCB staff regarding the testing that would be necessary for Certification of this type product and it was recommended that we test as was practical. Hence, we tested the 2’ dish (28.5 dBi). We request that inclusion of the 44 dBi antenna be considered, based on the testing limitations and the conducted spurious emissions which are more than 30dB below the limit (see Test Report). Additionally, the radiated spurious emissions detected were found to be radiating from the enclosure and not the antenna front, side or rear. This, plus the consideration that the out-of-band gain of the antenna is likely to be much reduced, reduces the interference potential to an acceptably low level. 8.) The gain of the EUT antenna used during radiated emissions testing is not identified. R. The antenna used for the testing was the 2’ diameter, 28.5 dBi dish antenna. Response to ATCB Comments FCC ID: HDCTRC4205L1 3 9.) A Block Diagram of the measurement setup used for the diode detector/signal generator substitution method Pout measurement would be helpful. R. Please see exhibit “4205L1 Test Report Appendix A.pdf” for a block diagram. 10.) Please review your Test Equipment chart (Table 9). What equipment was utilized for measurements above 20GHz? R. The HP8593A Spectrum Analyzer, HP8449B Pre-amplifier, and NARDA V638 Horn antenna were used for measurements above 20GHz. 11.) Please describe marketing plans so professional installation is assured. R. The device is marketed to professional network developers. Professional installation is discussed on page 10 of the User’s Manual. 12.) The operational description identifies two standards in Section 4.4. One is incorrect and the other is incomplete. Please review. FYI: There are multiple references to the UNII bands throughout this filing that must be removed since this is DTS equipment utilizing 15.247. R. Pleas see exhibit “4205L1 Operational Description2.pdf” for the correct document.

Maximum Permissible Exposure Test Report for Adtran, Inc. 901 Explorer Boulevard Huntsville, AL 35806 FCC ID: HDCTRC4205L1 June 2, 2004 WLL PROJECT #: 8030RFFCC This report may not be reproduced, except in full, without the prior written consent of Washington Laboratories, Ltd. Adtran, Inc. FCC ID: HDCTRC4205L1 WLL Project #: 8030RFFCC 1 Maximum Permissible Exposure Test Report for FCC ID: HDCTRC4205L1 1.0 Introduction This report has been prepared on behalf of Adtran, Inc. to show compliance with the RF exposure requirements as defined in FCC Part 1.1307(b)(1) for the Adtran Tracer 4205 Device. 3.8 Radio Frequency Radiation Exposure In accordance with Section 1.1310 of the FCC rules, the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limit for this frequency range is 1mW/cm 2 for General Population/Uncontrolled Access. The EUT is designed for telecommunications transmissions and may use high gain antennas (up to 44.2 dBi) and the transmitter section is designed for mounting on an antenna mast. Only professional installers install this device and is limited to installations such as towers and rooftops. Warnings are in the installation manual which limit the exposure to the direct beam during installation and maintenance. These warnings to the installers insure that the general public is not exposed to RF energy. The TRACER 4205 is designed for a transmit power of 20 dBm (100mW). Assuming the highest allowable gain antenna is used (44.2 dBi) the following power density is calculated. S = (PG)/(4πR 2 ) Where, S = Power Density P = Output Power at the Antenna Terminals G = Gain of Transmit Antenna (linear gain) R = Distance from Transmitting Antenna For this device, the calculation is as follows: S = FCC Limit = 1mW/cm 2 P = Output Power = 93.3mW (measured) G = Worst Case Gain = 44.2 dBi (26,302.6 linear gain) R = Based on 4.6 meters (15 feet) specified in User’s Manual S = {(93.3mW)(26,302.6}/{(12.56)(460cm 2 )} = 0.923mW/cm 2 Adtran, Inc. FCC ID: HDCTRC4205L1 WLL Project #: 8030RFFCC 2 This power density is the worst case for maximum beam exposure. This level is below the limit of 1mW/cm 2 MPE for general population/uncontrolled access. This unit is only installed by professionals and is limited in practice to installations on rooftops or towers. Warnings are provided in the installation manual to limit exposure to the direct beam during the installation and maintenance phase. These warnings ensure that the device is installed properly and does not expose the general public to RF energy hazards.
