Re: Certification for Delphi Radar FCC ID: L2C0049TR IC: 3432A-0049TR REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIALITY Pursuant to FCC 47 CRF 0.457(d) and 0.459 and IC RSP-100, Section 10, Delphi requests that a part of the subject application be held confidential. Delphi has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship.

Operational Description: The DUT is named RSDS, which stands for Rear Side Detection Support. The Device Under Test (DUT) is a 76.5 GHz vehicular radar. The device employs a dynamic chirp modulated transmit array. Multiple receive antennas are used to determine target angular resolution through digital beam forming. When installed on a vehicle, the device will operate when the vehicle is running. The nominal operating voltage is 12.0 VDC. System Requirements The RSDS system uses vehicle data and returns from the radar transmitter to identify targets vehicles in the host vehicle rear blind zone as well as vehicles in adjacent lanes that are quickly approaching the host vehicle. The RSDS system will also detect crossing traffic that may intercept the host vehicle while it performs a backing maneuver. The Radar measures the following parameters: Parameter Operational Range Range 0.5 meters to 70 meters Range Rate -50 meters/sec to +10 meters/sec Angle 150 deg field-of-view coverage Data Update Rate 20 Hz

RF Exposure Statement Requirement: According to CFR 15 §1.1307 (b)(1), systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensure that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy level in excess of the Commission’s guideline. SAR Testing: The average output power under normal worst-case operation of the Radar with operating duty cycle applied is 5.2 dBm or 3.3 mW. Per the calculations below, SAR measurements are not necessary. Health Hazard: The following table summarizes the power density at a distance of 20 cm and at 1 cm (minimum possible separation between DUT and vehicle surface / consumer) as calculated from FCC OET Bulletin 65.

Device Under Test 3.1 Identification The Device Under Test (DUT) is a 76.7 GHz vehicular radar employing two chirp modulated transmit chains, noted herein as Tx1 and Tx2 with 250 MHz chirp bandwidth. The DUT is 12 x 13 x 3.5 cm in dimension. Figure 3.1 Test Configuration Block Diagram 3.2 Variants There are two electrically identical variants of the radar in question, one for the left hand side of the vehicle and one for the right hand side of the vehicle. No electrical or mechanical differences exist between these two variants. 3.4 Samples A laptop was provided to setup radar functionality over the CAN bus, directing the radar to operate in both the normal modulated and CW modes. In CW mode the DUT transmits out of the higher-gain Tx1 chain as discussed below. The nominal operating voltage is 13.4 VDC; for testing this was supplied by a laboratory power supply. 3.3 Modes of Operation The DUT is capable of only one normal modulated mode of operation. When installed on a vehicle, the device operates in this mode when the vehicle is both moving and at rest. The DUT transmits repeated chirps on alternating Tx1 and Tx2 transmit chains. Each transmit chain employs a different antenna radiation pattern. The Tx1 array emits a uniform broadside pattern (normal to the radome) with a manufacturer declared gain of 14dBi, and the Tx2 chain array emits a split-beam end -fire pattern radiating in the direction toward the end of the device with a manufacturer declared gain of 7 dBi. The Tx1 chain transmission repeats with a period of 50 ms, and the Tx2 chain transmission repeats with a 100 ms period. The EUT then receives the returning chirp on a receive array and resolves object locations via digital beam forming. 3.5 EMI/EMC Relevant Modifications There were no m…
