American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 October 17, 2002 RE: Belkin Components FCC ID: K7SF5D6021 After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. These comments are all made upon the assumption that the EUT's full conducted output power is 18.2 mW and the antenna gain is -1.0 dBi. 1) The users manual shows a PCMCIA card with external photographs on page 7& 9 of 22. This device contains internal antennas only. Also, the model number given in the manual is a F5D6020 instead of F5D6021. Please explain. 2) Page 12 of 22 the users manual states that the antenna is +1.5 dBi, while the test report/MPE exhibit states -1dBi. Please explain. Timothy R. Johnson Examining Engineer mailto: [email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued. Please do not respond to this correspondence using the email reply button. In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website.

FCC ID: K7SF5D6021 ADT No.910723R04 Operational Description The transmitter of the EUT (Wireless Network Card) is powered by notebook and plugged in PCMCIA Slot. The antenna is Printed antenna, and there is no antenna connector. The other instruction, please have a look at the users manual. DSSS Information This device is Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum, the data is mixed by pseudorandom code which is an orthogonal code. The mixed data is digital modulated by BPSK and QPSK technique depends on the data rates. The CCK coding is applied for increasing the data rate, and also the processing gain will be increased. The bit rates are 1,2,5.5,11Mbps, the symbol rates are 1,1,1.375,1.375Mbps, the chip rates are always 11Mbps. So, the Chip/symbol is 11,11,8 and 8 respectively. Although is higher bit rate, the processing gain is lower than 10, but the CCK coding used in higher bit rate will provide 2.2dB coding gain.

FCC ID: K7SF5D6021 ADT No.: 910723R04 FCC TEST REPORT REPORT NO.: RF910723R04 MODEL NO.: F5D6020 ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT:Belkin Components ADDRESS:501, West Walnut Street, Compton CA 90220, USA ISSUED BY:Advance Data Technology Corporation LAB LOCATION:47 14th Lin, Chiapau Tsun, Linko, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. 0528 ILAC MRA Lab Code: 200102-0 FCC ID: K7SF5D6021 ADT No.: 910723R04 RF Exposure Measurement (Portable Device) 1. Introduction 2.4 GHz frequency band is regarded specially as a dangerous band for its heating harmfulness to the human body. That’s why microwave oven is operating in this frequency band. The manufacturer whose product is working in this frequency band is obligatory to prove the harmfulness of his product. In this document, we try to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body for our product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. The Gain of the antenna used in this product is measured in a Fully Anechoic Chamber (FAC), and the maximum total power input to the antenna is measured. Through the Friis transmission formula and the maximum gain of the antenna, we can calculate the distance, away from the product, where the limit of MPE is reached. 2. RF Exposure Limit According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(b). FCC ID: K7SF5D6021 ADT No.: 910723R04 LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Average Time (minutes) (A)Limits For Occupational / Control Exposures 30-30061.40.1631.06 300-1500......F/3006 1500-100,000......56 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 30-30027.50.0730.230 300-1500......F/150030 1500-100,000......1.030 F = Frequency in MHz 3. Friis Formula Friis transmission formula : Pd = (Pout*G) / (4*pi*r 2 ) where Pd = power density in mW/cm 2 Pout = output power to antenna in mW G = gain of antenna in linear scale Pi = 3.1416 R = distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm Pd is the limit of MPE, 1 mW/cm 2 . If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the distance r where the MPE limit is reached. Ref. : David K. Cheng, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, Second Edition, Page 640, Eq. (11-133). 4. EUT Operating condition The software provided by Manufacturer enabled the EUT to transmit and receive data at lowest, middle and highest channel individually. FCC ID: K7SF5D6021 ADT No.: 910723R04 5. Test Results 5.1 Antenna Gain The maximum Gain measured in Fully Anechoic Chamber is -1dBi or 0.79 (numeric). 5.2 Output Power Into Antenna & RF Exposure Distance : CHANNEL CHANNEL FREQUENCY (MHz) OUTPUT POWER TO ANTENNA (mW) MINIMUM ALLOWABLE DISTANCE ( r ) FROM SKIN (Centi-Meter) 1241217.911.06 6243717.861.06 11246218.201.07 The minimum allowable distance is very close to the enclosure of the antenna and is very far away from the human being under normal use condition.
