Operational Description

Exhibit 12 Page 1 of 1 FCC ID: MIJPNR-1000 03/15/12 Exhibit 12 – Operational Description General Dynamics C4 Systems PathMaker Network Radio FCC ID: MIJPNR-1000 Model No. PNR-1000 12.0 Operational Description PathMaker Network Radios provide dynamic wireless, mobile, ad-hoc networking communications without reliance on network infrastructure. PathMaker Radio users become their own network, which makes the radios ideal for use in remote locations where no infrastructure exists or where the infrastructure has been destroyed or overloaded. Where legacy network infrastructure exists, the PathMaker Network Radio System can take advantage of those networks by providing gateways, thereby increasing the network’s footprint and reach. With a maximum of 32 radio users per network, users can form traditional squad communications groups, or extend range and coverage by connecting to multiple networks. Users can communicate privately (one to one), as a group (one to many), and have multiple private and group sessions. The following diagram shows the basic system connectivity environment.

RF Exposure Info

Exhibit 11 Page 1 of 31 FCC ID: MIJPNR-1000 03/15/12 Exhibit 11 – RF Exposure General Dynamics C4 Systems PathMaker Network Radio FCC ID: MIJPNR-1000 Model No. PNR-1000 11.0 PathMaker Network Radio SAR Analysis The PathMaker Network Radio is a re-branding of the Max Tech SAVION-E Mesh Communicator Unit. The two radios are identical in all respects with the exception of the nameplate. Both radios utilize the same exact housings, RF transmitter, RF modulator, and the same type of antennas. The SAVION-E Mesh Communicator Unit was tested for SAR by the Seibersdorf Laboratories in Seibersdorf, Austria during the time period from June 9 th to June 17 th , 2011. The attached Test Report NR EMV-E 17/11 contains the results of the SAR test. The unit was tested in voice mode in three different configurations including usage at the ear, front-of -face, and body worn. The worst case SAR measured was 0.238 W/kg as averaged across 1 gram in the body-worn configuration. This level is significantly less than the 47 CFR 15.247(i) and 47 CFR 2.1093 requirements of 1.6 W/kg as averaged across any 1 gram of tissue for the general public. The SAR test measurements were performed with a half-wave dipole, “rubber duck”, antenna having a maximum +2 dBi gain. This antenna was the P/N ANT-2.4-CW-QW manufactured by Antenna Factor. The antenna to be provided with the radio is of the same family, i.e. a half- wave dipole, “rubber duck”, antenna having similar gain (+2 dBi). This antenna is the ENTEL P/N 85-P42580K. The drawings for both antennas are included after the attached SAR test report. The antenna change was implemented in order to provide a unique antenna connector, Reverse Thread (RT) SMA, to satisfy the 47 CFR Part 15.203 requirements. The PathMaker Network Radio includes a data mode capability which has a higher duty cycle of transmission than the voice mode. An analysis was performed to calculate the resulting worst case SAR from the PathMaker radio when used in data mode. A time domain plot of the voice mode is shown in Figure 1, which was extracted from the SAVION-E SAR Test Report. There are three pulses that occur in every 100 ms frame. The first pulse has a width of about 0.8 ms whereas the second and third pulses each have a width of about 1.1 ms. The resultant duty cycle in voice mode is (0.8 + 1.1 + 1.1)/100 = 0.03 or 3%. Exhibit 11 Page 2 of 31 FCC ID: MIJPNR-1000 03/15/12 Figure 1 – Plot of Pulse Frame in Voice Mode from Figure 3.3 of Test Report NR EMV-E 17/11 The time domain plot of the data mode is shown in Figure 2. There are several 100ms frames shown in this plot to depict the behavior in data mode. As can be seen in this plot, the frames alternate between having three-pulse frames and having eight-pulse frames. The frames with three pulses are similar to the voice mode frames. A close-up plot of frames that contain eight pulses is shown in Figure 3. The eight pulse frame consists of one pulse that is 0.8 ms wide and seven pulses that are 1.1 ms wide. Contains 3 pulses Contains 8 pulses Figure 2 – Plot of Several Pulse Frames in Data Mode Exhibit 11 Page 3 of 31 FCC ID: MIJPNR-1000 03/15/12 Figure 3 – Close-Up Plot of Frame with Eight Pulses The duty cycle in data mode can be calculated as follows. {(0.8 + 1.1 + 1.1) + (0.8 + 1.1 +1.1 +1.1 +1.1+1.1 +1.1 +1.1)}/200 = 0.0575 or 5.75%. We can calculate the worst case SAR in data mode by scaling the voice mode SAR according to the ratio of the duty cycles for data mode and voice mode. This is calculated as follows. Data Mode SAR = 0.238 W/kg * 5.75%/3% = 0.456 W/kg as averaged across one gram of tissue. This worst case level of 0.456 W/kg is compliant with the FCC limit of 1.6 W/kg from 47CFR2.1093. Based on this analysis with supporting test data shown in the attached Test Report NR EMV-E 17/11, we can conclude that the PathMaker is compliant with the SAR requirements for portable devices.

The other tests are non-standard, RF Characteristic, tests required only for this specific type of intentional radiator. The test results shown in this report are only valid for the specific item tested. Other units may have different results. It is the policy of the General Dynamics EMC Laboratory to provide uncertainty data sheets for all compliance related measurements. Table 1 of CISPR 16-4-2 defines an upper limit on expanded uncertainty (U CISPR ) of 5.2dB for radiated emissions from 30MHz to 1GHz. The General Dynamics EMC Lab has an expanded uncertainty (U LAB ) of 3.91dB for radiated emissions. According to CISPR 16-4-2, if U LAB is less than U CISPR , then demonstration of compliance to the limits does not require an additional safety margin to account for measurement uncertainty. For all tests other tests, the test limits as defined by the appropriate standards organizations are assumed to already include a reasonable amount of uncertainty built into the limits to account for measurement uncertainty and therefore, demonstration of compliance to the limits does not require an additional safety margin to account for measurement uncertainty. 75267-01000 3 OF 40 PathMaker Network Radio REV: - 03/02/2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS ....................................................................................................................... 3 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION ....................................................................................................... 4 1.1 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................................. 4 1.2 APPLICABLE RULES ........................................................................................................... 4 1.3 TEST METHODOLOGY ....................................................................................................... 4 1.4 TEST FACILITY .................................................................................................................... 5 1.5 QUALITY SYSTEM .............................................................................................................. 5 2.0 TEST SAMPLE DESCRIPTION ................................................................................................. 6 2.1 THEORY OF OPERATION ................................................................................................... 6 2.2 LIST OF EQUIPMENT TESTED .......................................................................................... 7 3.0 TEST SETUP AND METHODOLOGY ...................................................................................... 7 3.1 SYSTEM TEST MODES AND CONFIGURATIONS .......................................................... 7 3.2 PERIPHERALS AND INTERFACE CABLES ..................................................................... 7 3.3 EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS ......................................................................................... 7 3.4 POWER REQUIREMENTS ................................................................................................... 8 3.5 DUTY CYCLE CORRECTION FACTOR FOR RADIATED EMISSIONS ........................ 8 3.6 ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS ........................................................................................... 11 3.7 ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS ......................................................................................... 11 4.0 TEST RESULTS ......................................................................................................................... 12 4.1 6 DB EMISSION BANDWIDTH ......................................................................................... 12 4.2 MAXIMUM CONDUCTED OUTPUT POWER ................................................................. 14 4.3 POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY .......................................................................................... 16 4.4 CONDUCTED SPURIOUS EMISSIONS INCLUDING BAND EDGES .......................... 19 4.5 RADIATED EMISSIONS, ELECTRIC FIELD, FCC, 30MHZ - 25GHZ ........................... 24 5.0 CONCLUSIONS ......................................................................................................................... 32 ATTACHMENT 1: ESTIMATE OF UNCERTAINTY ...................................................................... 33 ATTACHMENT 2: TEST SETUP PHOTOS ..................................................................................... 36 75267-01000 4 OF 40 PathMaker Network Radio REV: - 03/02/2012 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 INTRODUCTION This document describes the applicable Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification te…
