MODEL DSP85-PS7 Frequency Programmable Repeater FCC ID LABEL FCC ID: NVRCSI-DSP85-PS7 IC: 4307A-DSP85-PS7 This device complies with parts 90 and 2 of the FCC rules and with Industry Canada specification RSS-131

May 4, 2010 Mr. Scott Wentworth Retlif Laboratories 101 New Boston Rd. Goffstown, NH 03045 Re: Adjustment of the Model DSP85-PS7 In-building Amplifier in the Field The CSI Model DSP85-PS7 In-Building Amplifier offers only adjustment of gain (below its factory-set maximum gain level) to the technician during installation and maintenance activities. This adjustment is dependent on the physical environment in which the amplifier is to be installed and is described in the Installation and Users Manual. This is the only adjustment accessible without opening the amplifier. Frequency response and gain thresholds are factory set and in no circumstance are they to be adjusted in the field.

Evaluation of the CSI Model DSP85-PS7 BDA For Compliance with FCC Guidelines For Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields May 4, 2010 Rev-2 May 10, 2010 General The CSI Model DSP85-PS7 Bi-directional amplifier is considered to be a “mobile” device operating in both the Specialized Mobile Service authorized under part 90. As such, the equipment is required to be evaluated for RF exposure if operated below 1.5 GHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1.5 watts or more, as defined in 2.1091 of FCC rules. Downlink For the downlink portion of the Model DSP85-PS7 BDA, the maximum rated output power is +30 dBm (1000 mW) in the 700 MHz Public Safety Band (<1.5 GHz) As stated in the Model DSP85-PS7 Manual, the maximum authorized indoor antenna gain is 3 dBi, corresponding to a typical Omni-Directional antenna. The Table below shows the results of the calculated ERP, neglecting cable losses. Frequency Power Out Ant Gain EIRP ERP Limit 763-775 MHz 30 dBm 3 dBi 33 dBm 1212 mW 1.5 W Since the calculated ERP of 1212 mW is less than the allowable limit of 1.5 W, this path is exempt from further analysis. The Cautions in the Model DSP85-PS7 manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a minimum 20-centimeter separation. Uplink For the uplink portion of the Model DSP85-PS7 BDA, the maximum rated output power is +30dbm (1000 mW) in the SMR Band (<1.5 GHz). As stated in the Model DSP85- PSS8 Manual, the maximum authorized outdoor antenna gain is 14 dBi, corresponding to a typical Multi-Element Yagi-Directional antenna. The Table below shows the results of the calculated ERP for both cases, neglecting cable losses. Frequency Power Out Ant Gain EIRP ERP Limit 793-805 MHz 30 dBm 14 dBi 44 dBm 15,224 mW 1.5 W As shown in the above table, the ERP exceeds the allowable limit and must be evaluated for minimum separation distances in order to comply with the exposure limits of 1.1310 of the FCC rules. Using the guidelines in FCC OET Bulletin 65 and Supplement C, the power density at a reasonable distance from the maximum gain antenna was calculated. The following assumptions are made concerning these calculations: 700MHz Band Po = 1000 mw average Cable Loss = 0 dB Ant Gain = 14 dBi Frequency = 799 MHz Main Beam (worst-case) Rooftop 100% reflection Reasonable Distance = 6 feet (183 cm) Therefore, from OET Bulletin 65, S = (PG)/4πR 2 or S = EIRP/4πR 2 For 100% reflection, a doubling of the field strength can be expected. The above equation can be modified to, S = (2) 2 PG/4πR 2 = EIRP/πR 2 Solving for S at a distance of 6 feet (183 cm) gives, S = (1000) (25)/ π (183) 2 = 0.24 mw/cm 2 From FCC rules 1.1311, Table 1B, the allowable limit for uncontrolled exposure is f(MHz) / 1500. At 799 MHz this corresponds to a level of 0.53 mw/cm 2 . The calculated value of 0.24 is below both the limit thereby showing compliance under worst-case operating conditions. As in the case of the downlink, the Cautions in the Model DSP85-PS7 manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a conservative 6- foot separation.

A FCC ID: NVRCSIDSP85-PS7 SECTION 1 SUMMARY OF TEST PROGRAM INTERMODULATION CHARACTERISTICS (TWO TONE) Measurement Procedure: Two signals were injected, in turn, to each uplink and downlink frequency band via a two way power combiner. Testing was performed at both the low band edge and high band edge of each pass band. The output of each signal generator was adjusted so that the two output fundamental frequencies were equal in magnitude. Testing was performed for FM & TDMA Modulation types. At the maximum specified input power levels all intermodulation products were at -13dBm or below. See attached test data. OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH Measurement Procedure: For Occupied Bandwidth, measurements were made to compare the input signal to the output signal. The signal generator output was connected to the spectrum analyzer. A TDMA modulation signal was then applied to the carrier. Waveforms were then noted on an X-Y plot. Next, the signal generator was connected to the EUT and the output of the EUT was connected to the spectrum analyzer. The output waveform after amplification was then compared to the original input signal to ensure that no significant differences occurred between the input signal and the amplified signal. Testing was performed at one frequency within each passband (uplink and downlink). Testing was repeated with FM Modulation. See Occupied Bandwidth Data. SPURIOUS EMISSIONS AT ANTENNA TERMINALS Measurement Procedure: The signal generator output was connected in turn to the uplink and downlink input ports of the EUT. The input power level was at the maximum level which was ascertained during the Power Output test. A spectrum analyzer was connected to the output of the EUT. The input test frequencies used were three frequencies (low, mid & high) within each passband (uplink and downlink). The level of any spurious emission was recorded. Testing was performed in the frequency range of 30MHz to 9GHz. Testing was performed for TDMA & FM modulation types. The spurious emissions limit is -13dBm as specified in FCC Part 90. All emissions were below the specified -13dBm limit. See attached test data. Page 4 of 44 Test Report No. R-5319N, Rev. A FCC ID: NVRCSI-DSP85-PS7 EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER OF SPURIOUS RADIATION Measurement Procedure: The test sample was placed on a 80cm high wooden test stand which was located 3 meters from the test antenna on an FCC listed test site. A signal generator was connected to the input of the amplifier. The signal generator output was set to provide the input power level necessary to achieve maximum output power of the amplifier at 3 frequencies (low, mid & high) within each passband (uplink and downlink). The effective radiated power of each out of band spurious emission was measured using the substitution method specified in ANSI/TIA-603-C-2004. The frequency range of the test was 30MHz – 9GHz. The limit for out of band spurious emissions is -13dBm as specified in Part 90. All emissions were below the specified -13dBm limit. See attached test data. EFFECTIVE ISOTROPIC POWER OF SPURIOUS RADIATION (1559 – 1610MHz) Measurement Procedure: The test sample was placed on a 80cm high wooden test stand which was located 3 meters from the test antenna on an FCC listed test site. A signal generator was connected to the input of the amplifier. The signal generator output was set to provide the input power level necessary to achieve maximum output power of the amplifier at 1 frequency (midband) within each passband (uplink and downl…
