BT compliance to 15.247 for FCC ID: MQ4CBT1K The following exhibit indicates the FCC Spread Spectrum requirements in Section 15.247 for devices meeting the Bluetooth Specifications in the 2.4 GHz band as of Jluy 2002 operating in the USA. The purpose of this exhibit is to help expedite the approval process for Bluetooth devices. This exhibit provides items that vary for each device and also provides a list of items that are common to Bluetooth devices that explains the remaining requirements. The list of common items can be submitted for each application for equipment authorization. This exhibit only specifies requirements in Section 15.247, requirements in other rule Sections for intentional radiators such as in Section 15.203 or 15.207 must be also be addressed. For each individual device, the following items, 1-5 will vary from one device to another and must be submitted. 1) The occupied bandwidth in Section 15.247(a)(1)(ii). supplied 2) Conducted output power specified in Section 15.247(b)(1). supplied 3) EIRP limit in Section 15.247(b)(3). supplied 4) RF safety requirement in Section 15.247(b)(4) supplied 5) Spurious emission limits in Section 15.247 ( c ). supplied For all devices, the following items, 1-12, are common to all Bluetooth devices and will not vary from one device to another. This list can be copied into the filing. 1 Output power and channel separation of a Bluetooth device in the different operating modes: The different operating modes (data-mode, acquisition-mode) of a Bluetooth device don’t influence the output power and the channel spacing. There is only one transmitter which is driven by identical input parameters concerning these two parameters. Only a different hopping sequence will be used. For this reason, the RF parameters in one op-mode is sufficient. 2 Frequency range of a Bluetooth device: The maximum frequency of the device is: 2402 – 2480 MHz. This is according the Bluetooth Core Specification V 1.1 for devices which will be operated in the USA. Other frequency ranges ( e.g. for Spain, Japan) which are allowed according the Core Specification must not be supported by the device. 3 Co-ordination of the hopping sequence in data mode to avoid simultaneous occupancy by multiple transmitters: Bluetooth units which want to communicate with other units must be organized in a structure called piconet. This piconet consist of max. 8 Bluetooth units. One unit is the master the other seven are the slaves. The master co-ordinates frequency occupation in this piconet for all units. As the master hop sequence is derived from it’s BD address which is unique for every Bluetooth device, additional masters intending to establish new piconets will always use different hop sequences. 4 Example of a hopping sequence in data mode: Example of a 79 hopping sequence in data mode: 40, 21, 44, 23, 42, 53, 46, 55, 48, 33, 52, 35, 50, 65, 54, 67, 56, 37, 60, 39, 58, 69, 62, 71, 64, 25, 68, 27, 66, 57, 70, 59, 72, 29, 76, 31, 74, 61, 78, 63, 01, 41, 05, 43, 03, 73, 07, 75, 09, 45, 13, 47, 11, 77, 15, 00, 64, 49, 66, 53, 68, 02, 70, 06, 01, 51, 03, 55, 05, 04 5 Equally average use of frequencies in data mode and short transmissions: The generation of the hopping sequence in connection mode depends essentially on two input values: 1. LAP/UAP of the master of the connection 2. Internal master clock The LAP (lower address part) are the 24 LSB’s of the 48 BD_ADDRESS. The BD_ADDRESS is an unambiguous number of every Bluetooth unit. The UAP (upper address part) are the 24 MSB’s of the 48 BD_ADDRESS. The internal clock of a Bluetooth unit is derived from a free running clock which is never adjusted and is never turned off. For synchronization with other units, only the offsets are used. It has no relation to the time of the day. Its resolution is at least half the RX/TX slot length of 312.5 μs. The clock has a cycle of about one day (23h30). In most case it is implemented as 28 bit counter. For the deriving of the hopping sequence the entire LAP (24 bits), 4 LSB’s (4 bits) (Input 1) and the 27 MSB’s of the clock (Input 2) are used. With this input values different mathematical procedures (permutations, additions, XOR-operations) are performed to generate the sequence. This will be done at the beginning of every new transmission. Regarding short transmissions, the Bluetooth system has the following behavior: The first connection between the two devices is established, a hopping sequence is generated. For transmitting the wanted data, the complete hopping sequence is not used and the connection ends. The second connection will be established. A new hopping sequence is generated. Due to the fact that the Bluetooth clock has a different value, because the period between the two transmission is longer (and it cannot be shorter) than the minimum resolution of the clock (312.5 μs). The hopping sequence will always differ from the first one. 6 Receiver input bandwidth, synchronization and repeated single or multiple packets: The input bandwidth of the receiver is 1 MHz. In every connection, one Bluetooth device is the master and the other one is the slave. The master determines the hopping sequence (see chapter 5). The slave follows this sequence. Both devices shift between RX and TX time slot according to the clock of the master. Additionally the type of connection (e.g. single or multi-slot packet) is set up at the beginning of the connection. The master adapts its hopping frequency and its TX/RX timing is according to the packet type of the connection. Also, the slave of the connection uses these settings. Repeating of a packet has no influence on the hopping sequence. The hopping sequence generated by the master of the connection will be followed in any case. That means, a repeated packet will not be send on the same frequency, it is send on the next frequency of the hopping sequence 7 Dwell time in data mode The dwell time of 0.3797s within a 30 second period in data mode is independent from t…

To: Julia Chu ITS/EMC-TPE Subject: AboCom FCC ID: MQ4CBT1K Dear Julia: Technical review of this application is complete, and it appears to meet the criteria for certification. However, the following information is missing: 1) 15.247(a)(1) attestation of pseudorandom hopping sequence. The technical spec exhibit is generic to all Bluetooth devices, and there is no documentation supplied to demonstrate or attest compliance of this device with Bluetooth hopping parameters. 2) 15.247(a)(1) and 2.1033(b)(10) attestation that receiver bandwidth matches hopping channel bandwidth, and receiver input bandwidth hops in sync with transmitter. The technical spec exhibit is generic to all Bluetooth devices, and there is no documentation supplied to demonstrate or attest compliance of this device with Bluetooth hopping parameters. 3) If this CompactFlash Card is intended to be used in a variety of hosts, it should be authorized as a Modular Approval. The test report and exhibits support Modular Approval, for which radiated emissions shall be measured with the EUT outside of the host. The test report indicates that this was done. However, from the radiated setup photo, it appears that the EUT is inside an enclosure. Please clarify the radiated emissions test configuration, including the nature of the EUT housing (if any) during the test. Thank you, Roland

Subject: AboCom-MQ4CBT1K Dear Lyn, The following is the answer for the TCB’s comments: Comment1) The channel is represented by a pseudo-random hopping sequence hopping through the 79 or 23 RF channels. The hopping sequence is unique for the piconet and is determined by the Bluetooth device address of the master; the phase in the hopping sequence is determined by the Bluetooth clock of the master.\ The input to a particular hop frequency is performed in the selection box. Basically, the input is the native clock and the current address. In CONNECTION state, the native clock (CLKN) is modified by an offset to equal the master clock (CLK).Only the 27MSBs of the clock are used. In the PAGE and INQUIRY substates, all 28 bits of the clock are used. However, in PAGE substate the native clock will be modified to the master's estimate of the paged unit. The address input consists of 28 bits, i.e., the entire LAP(Lower Address Part) and the 4 LSBs of the UAP (Upper Address Part) .In CONNECTION state, the address of the master is used. In PAGE substate the address of the paged unit is used. When in INQUIRY substate, the UAP/LAP corresponding to the GIAC (generic inquiry access code) is used. The output constitutes a pseudo-random sequence, either covering 79 hop or 23 hops, depending on the state. The general block diagram of the hop selection scheme is shown as following figure. Comment2) The output and input of RF channels are through a bandpass filter ( FL1 MDR741F-T), and the pass band of this filter is from 2400~2500MHz. In the other words, the receiver can not get the RF channel out of this band. The hopping channel bandwidth (2400~2500 MHz) corresponding to Bluetooth spec. matches the receiver bandwidth. Comment3) Our company defined CompactFlash card that is be used in Notebook , Pocket PC and Handheld PC, so we do the “ End-product “ approve.

Bluetooth architecture overview : Index words: Bluetooth, Piconet, IEEE, 802.15, PAN, Wireless, CMOS Radio, Data Access Points, Cable Replacement, WLAN, Global, Frequency Hopping, SIG ABSTRACT The Bluetooth* wireless technology was created to solve a simple problem: replace the cables used on mobile devices with radio frequency waves. The technology encompasses a simple low-cost, low-power, global radio system for integration into mobile devices. Such devices can form a quick ad-hoc secure "piconet" and communicate among the connected devices. This technology creates many useful mobile usage models because the connections can occur while mobile devices are being carried in pockets and briefcases (therefore, there are no line-of-sight restrictions). This paper provides a brief description of some of these usage models and explains how the Bluetooth architecture is optimized to enable them. But first, let us answer the question: why now? Original Bluetooth market requirements dictated integration into small handheld devices (mobile phones and computers were key clients), low cost (longterm cost of under $5 per connection point), high security, low power, and ubiquitous global use of the technology. There was no single cellular technology that could meet the global use requirement (there are five wireless phone technologies in the US alone). While WLANs had good ad-hoc networking capabilities, there was no clear market standard to pick (there are at least three varieties of IEEE 802.11 standards and a variety of other proprietary solutions in the market). Moreover, cost was too high for integration; there were no global standards, and integration into small handheld devices (like mobile phones) was a problem. As such it was decided to take a different approach: replace the cable from the "Network Adapter" (WLAN card or cellular phone) with a low-cost RF link that we now call Bluetooth. Today the Bluetooth technology is the only specification targeted at this new market of cable replacement. Even the IEEE organization has recognized the need for wireless cable replacement technology and started the development of the 802.15 working group that focuses on this market (they call it Wireless Personal Area Networks). This specification is based on the Bluetooth technology! INTRODUCTION The Bluetooth technology was developed to provide a wireless interconnect between small mobile devices and their peripherals. Target markets were the mobile computer, the mobile phone, small personal digital assistants and peripherals. These markets were represented by the companies who created the technology: Intel, 3COM, Ericsson, IBM, Motorola, Nokia, and Toshiba, and were further supported by the 1,600 other early adopter companies. The goals of the technology did not include developing another Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology, for which there were already many in the market and many more being developed. Rather, whereas WLANs are designed to efficiently connect large groups of people over a common backbone, the Bluetooth technology was designed to connect mobile devices over a personal and private connection (in essence, to replace the cables carried by many mobile travelers). The Bluetooth technology tries to emulate the cost, security, and capabilities of common cables carried by mobile travelers. The technology must be as secure as a cable (supports application/link-layer authorization, authentication, and encryption); must be manufactured for about the same cost as a cable (designed for eventual manufacture as a single-chip CMOS radio giving a long-term cost goal of $5 an end-point radio); must connect to a variety of devices available to the mobile user (seven simultaneous connections) and support data rates that are consistent with a mobile traveler's needs (1 Mega symbol per second data rates per piconet); must support many simultaneous and private connections (hundreds of private piconets within range of each other); must support the types of data used by mobile users (voice and data); and must be very low power and compact to support the small portable devices into which the technology will be integrated. Finally, the technology must be global as the mobile devices will travel and must work with devices found in other parts of the world. USAGE MODEL While the Bluetooth usage model is based on connecting devices together, it is focused on three broad categories: voice/data access points, peripheral interconnects, and Personal Area Networking (PAN). Figure 1: Voice/data access points Voice/Data Access Points Voice/data access points is one of the key initial usage models and involves connecting a computing device to a communicating device via a secure wireless link (see Figure 1). For example, a mobile computer equipped with Bluetooth technology could link to a mobile phone that uses Bluetooth technology to connect to the Internet to access e-mail. The mobile phone acts as a personal access point. Even more ideal, the notebook can connect to the Internet while the cell phone is being carried in a briefcase or purse. The Bluetooth usage model also envisions public data access points in the future. Imagine the current data-equipped pay phones in airports being upgraded with Bluetooth modems. This would allow any mobile device equipped with Bluetooth technology to easily connect to the Internet while located within ten meters of that access point. These access points could, of course, support much higher data rates than today's modems, as public spaces could connect a variety of private Bluetooth access points via a LAN that is routed to the Internet over a DSL line, allowing each access point a private 1Mbps connection to the Internet. Figure 2: Peripheral interconnects Peripheral Interconnects The second category of uses, peripheral interconnects, involves connecting other devices together as shown in Figure 2. Imagine standard keyboards, mice, and joysticks that work over a wireless link. T…
