Test Lab Inquiry on 10/01/2012 : We are testing a series of repeaters which operate in multiple bands and support a variety of technologies, including (CDMA/WCDMA, GSM & LTE) Can you please confirm if it is acceptable to use a CW signal in place of a modulated signal, when performing radiated spurious emissions, conducted spurious and intermodulation tests. The alternative would be to load the units with the range of applicable signals e.g. QPSK, GMSK, 64QAM for each of the technologies above. However this would significantly extend the test time, and we believe that the CW signal would provide worst case results for these tests. Testing would still be performed on each band, with the CW signal/s set to the maximum input for the EUT. I have attached an example data sheet for the products in question. FCC response on 10/11/2012 For reference, FCC guidance has included the following (from 2009 Licensed Devices General Technical Requirements powerpoint/notes): Intermodulation INTERMOD TEST – Transmitters and amplifiers designed to handle multiple channels must be tested with multiple carriers for each emission type to show intermodulation products. For multi channel devices show a single channel comparison of input and output signal and also perform the three tone intermodulation test. This is a conducted measurement. In most cases the equipment is modulated during the test. In some cases, such as FM, the signal is unmodulated. For units where a power reduction is required at the band edges, the test only needs to be done at the first channels at each edge of the band with maximum power. Intermodulation (continued) – Intermodulation products are spurious emissions which must meet the emissions mask in each Radio Service rule part – Test Procedure - Should be tested at highest rated output level • Three Signal Test – requires only one test – two near to each other at one edge of passband – other signal alone at other edge of passband • Two Signal Test - requires the test be done twice – Once with two signals at upper edge of passband – Once with two signals at lower edge of passband Three signals of equal magnitude at their highest rated output level should be tested for each type of modulation. The two channels near each other should be separated by at least one operating channel width. The two tone test is also accepted but must be performed twice, one time at each end of the operating band. As we understand it, general industry procedures include: i) Measured using a 1 MHz Measurement Bandwidth, for UTRA signals with the first interfering signal at 3.5 MHz offset from the center of the first UTRA channel in the passband and the second carrier adjusted in frequency such that the intermodulation product falls at the frequency of the first UTRA channel in the passband. ii) Measured using a 1 MHz Measurement Bandwidth, for CDMA signals with the first interfering signal at 1.25 MHz offset from the center of the first CDMA channel in the passband and the second carrier adjusted in frequency such that the intermodulation product falls at the frequency of the first CDMA channel in the passband. iii) Measured using a 1 MHz Measurement Bandwidth, for E-UTRA signals with the first interfering signal at 1.0 MHz offset from the edge of the first and last E-UTRA channel in the passband and the second carrier adjusted in frequency such that the intermodulation product falls at the frequency of the first and last E-UTRA channel in the passband. iv) Measured using a 3 kHz Measurement Bandwidth, for GSM signals with two continuous wave (CW) input signals spaced 600 kHz apart and centered in the pass band of the booster.

The MPE calculation as given in FCC OET Bulletin 65, page 19 is used to calculate the safe operating distance for the user. The DIGImini is a cellular repeater which operates using two antennas, an outdoor antenna for cellular base station communication and an indoor antenna for communication with user devices. This MPE calculation is intended to address the RF exposure compliance of the indoor antenna (downlink) only, the outdoor antenna (uplink) RF exposure compliance is addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s). Outdoor antenna gain: 13 dBi (max) with 2 dB cable loss. Indoor antenna gain: 2.2 dBi (max). The transmitter operation of the DIGImini covers the Cellular 850 MHz (Band V) and PCS 1900 MHz (Band II) operating bands using GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, W-CDMA and LTE cellular operating technologies. The following FCC Rule Parts are applicable: Part 1.1307 (b) Actions that may have a significant environmental effect, for which Environmental Assessments (EAs) must be prepared. Part 1.1310 – Radiofrequency radiation exposure limits Part 2.1091 – Radiofrequency radiation exposure evaluation: mobile devices Part 22.913 (a)(2) The ERP of mobile transmitters and auxiliary test transmitters must not exceed 7 Watts. Part 24.232 (b) Mobile/ Portable stations are limited to 2 Watts EIRP peak power.

The highest measured conducted output power, combined with the highest applicable antenna gain was chosen as being representative of the worst case operating condition. In all cases the ERP/EIRP met the appropriate Part 22 and Part 24 limits detailed above. 1. Uplink ERP – 850 MHz (Band V) Maximum specified uplink antenna gain = 13 dBi with 2 dB cable loss Max. Conducted Transmitter Power for the DIGImini: P = 21.9 dBm measured @ antenna socket in GSM GMSK operating mode. EIRP eff = 21.9 + 13 - 2 = 32.9 dBm ERP eff = EIRP eff – 2.1 dB (half wave dipole gain) ERP eff = 32.9 – 2.1 = 30.8 dBm (1.2 W) ie: ERP eff = 1.2 W (meets 7 W limit) EIRP – PCS 1900 MHz (Band II) Max. Conducted Transmitter Power for the DIGImini: P = 21.2 dBm measured @ antenna socket in GSM 8-PSK operating mode. EIRP eff = 21.2 + 13 - 2 = 32.2 dBm ie: EIRP eff = 1.66 W (meets 2 W limit) 2. Downlink ERP – 850 MHz (Band V) Maximum specified downlink antenna gain = 2.2 dBi Max. Conducted Transmitter Power for the DIGImini: P = 21.7 dBm measured @ antenna socket in GSM GMSK operating mode. EIRP eff = 21.7 + 2.2 = 23.9 dBm ERP eff = EIRP eff – 2.1 dB (half wave dipole gain) ERP eff = 23.9 – 2.1 = 21.8 dBm (0.15 W) ie: ERP eff = 0.15 W (meets 7 W limit) EIRP – PCS 1900 MHz (Band II) Max. Conducted Transmitter Power for the DIGImini: P = 21.5 dBm measured @ antenna socket in GSM 8-PSK operating mode. EIRP eff = 21.5 + 2.2 = 23.7 dBm ie: EIRP eff = 0.23 W (meets 2 W limit) AXELL WIRELESS UK Asheridge Road Chesham, Bucks HP5 2QD, UK Tel: + 44 (0) 1494 777000 Fax: + 44 (0) 1494 777002 [email protected] www.axellwireless.com AXELL WIRELESS SWEDEN Box 7139 174 07 Sundbyberg Sweden Tel: + 46 (0) 8 475 4700 Fax: + 46 (0) 8 475 4799 Page 3 of 4 MPE Calculation for the DIGImini 2108-2019 Indoor Antenna The MPE calculation as given in FCC OET Bulletin 65, page 19 is used to calculate the safe operating distance for the user. This calculation addresses the RF exposure compliance of the indoor antenna only using the following maximum downlink transmitter powers calculated above: 850 MHz (Band V) EIRP: 23.9 dBm PCS 1900 MHz (Band II) EIRP: 23.7 dBm S = EIRP/4 π R 2 Where S = Power density EIRP = Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP = P x G) P = Conducted Transmitter Power G = Antenna Gain (relative to an isotropic radiator) R = distance to the centre of radiation of the antenna (safe operating distance) DIGImini @850 MHz (Band V): Values: Transmitter frequency range = 869 MHz to 894 MHz (DL) P = Power Input to antenna = 21.7 dBm G = Antenna Gain = 2.2 dBi Therefore Max.
