Operational Description: The DUT is named ESR 2.5T, which stands for Electronically Scanned Radar Version 2.5. The “T” indicates “Truck” program. 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 24.0 VDC. System Requirements The Radar is part of an automotive adaptive cruise control (ACC) system. The vehicle control functions are performed by a separate Controller supplied by Delphi. The Radar is responsible for the sensing functions only. The Radar measures the following parameters and provides these to the Controller: Parameter Operational Range Range 1 meters to 175 meters (long range operation) 1 to 60m (medium range operation) Range Rate -100 meters/sec to +40meters/sec Angle +/-10 degrees 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 ensures the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy level in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. SAR Testing: The peak EIRP rating of the DUT when employing TX2(LR) mode is 29.8 dBm or 955 mW with an on- time of 17.8 ms in every 53.0 ms period. The Peak EIRP rating of the DUT when in TX1(SR) mode is 21.8 dBm or 151 mW with an on-time of 18.2 ms in every 50.3 ms period, as detailed in the radar test report. Thus, the average output power under normal worst-case operation of the Radar is computed as: EIRPavg (mW) = (955 mW x 17.8 ms + 151 mW x 18.2 ms) / 50.3 ms = 393 mW or 25.9 dBm. Per the calculations below, SAR measurements are not necessary. Health Hazard: The following table summarizes the power density at a minimum separation distance of 5.6 cm and at 20 cm as calculated from FCC OET Bulletin 65.

Device Under Test 3.1 Identification The Device Under Test (DUT) is a 76-77 GHz vehicular radar employing two distinct chirps (one for Short Range and Long Range detection) using two distinct transmit chain s (planar arrays). The DUT is approximately 18 x 10 x 3. 5 cm in dimension and is designed for use as a forward looking radar on a 24 VDC vehicle. Figure 3.1 Test Configuration Block Diagram 3.2 Variants There is only a single variant of the radar in question. 3.4 Samples A laptop was provided to setup radar functionality over the CAN bus, directing the radar to operate in both the normal dual chirp modulated mode and a CW at the lowest and highest frequencies of each chirp band. The nominal operating voltage is 24 VDC; for testing this was supplied by a laboratory power supply. 3.3 Modes of Operation The DUT is capable of only one normal mode of operation, as tested. Furthermore, the device operates only when the motor vehicle onto which it is installed is running. In normal operation, the DUT transmits alternating Long Range and Short Range chirps using two transmit chains. The Short Range (SR) chirp emanates from the transmit chain TX1 array which exhibits a manufacturer declared nominal gain of 16 dBi. The Long Range (LR) chirp emanates from the transmit chain TX2 array which exhibits a manufacturer declared nominal antenna gain of 22 dBi. Both chains emit uniform broadside patterns (e.g. normal to the radome) The DUT chirps (sweeps) 76.55 to 76.78 GHz and back in 55 us starting with the TX1(SR) mode. The up-sweep is blanked (attenuated) and the down-sweep transmits at full power. The TX1(SR) chirp lasts 18.2 ms. The DUT then switches to TX2(LR) and chirps 76.55 to 76.66 GHz at the same 55 us rate, but transmits only on the second down-sweep (e.g. other sweeps …
