MODEL CSI-DSP95-255-AW Repeater FCC ID LABEL FCC ID: NVRCSIDSP95255AW This device complies with parts 27 and 2 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada IC: 4307A-DSP95255AW Model No: CSI-DSP95-255-AW

Evaluation of the CSI Model CSI-DSP95-255-AW BDA For Compliance with FCC Guidelines For Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields 26 October 2011 General The CSI Model CSI-DSP95-255-AW Bi-directional amplifier is considered to be a dual- band “mobile” device operating in both the Cellular Service authorized under part 27. 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 or if operated above 1.5 GHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 3.0 watts or more, as defined in 2.1091 of FCC rules. Downlink For the downlink portion of the Model CSI-DSP95-255-AW BDA, the maximum rated output power is +35.9dBm (3880 mW) in the 2100 MHz band (>1.5 GHz). As stated in the Model CSI-DSP95-255-AW Manual, the maximum authorized indoor antenna gain is 3 dBi, corresponding to a typical Multi-Band Omni-Directional antenna. The Table below shows the results of the calculated ERP, neglecting cable losses. Frequency Power Out Ant Gain EIRP ERP Limit 2110-2155 MHz 35.9dBm 3 dBi 38.9dBm 4,732 mW 1.5 W As shown in the above table, the level 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 minimum safe distance was also determined based on the uncontrolled exposure limits defined in Table 1B of FCC rules 1.1311. The following assumptions are made concerning these calculations: 2100 MHz Band Po = 3880 mw average Cable Loss = 0 dB Ant Gain = 3 dBi Frequency = 2132.5 MHz Main Beam (worst-case) 100% reflection Reasonable Distance = 4 feet (122 cm) Therefore, from OET Bulletin 65, S = (PG)/4R 2 or S = EIRP/4R 2 For 100% reflection, a doubling of the field strength can be expected. The above equation can be modified to, S = (2) 2 PG/4R 2 = EIRP/R 2 Solving for S at a distance of 4 feet (122 cm) gives, S = (3880) (2)/  (122) 2 = 0.17 mw/cm 2 From FCC rules 1.1311, Table 1B, the allowable limit for uncontrolled exposure for frequencies above 1500 MHz is 1.0 mw/cm 2 . The calculated value of 0.17 is below the limit thereby showing compliance under worst- case operating conditions. The Cautions in the Model CSI-DSP95-255-AW manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a minimum 4 feet (122 cm) separation. Uplink For the uplink portion of the Model CSI-DSP95-255-AW BDA, the maximum rated output power is +27.84dBm (608 mW) in the 1700 MHz Band (>1.5 GHz). As stated in the Model CSI-DSP95-255-AW 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 this case, neglecting cable losses. Frequency Power Out Ant Gain EIRP ERP Limit 1710-1755 MHz 27.84 dBm 14 dBi 41.84 dBm 9311 mW 1.5 W As shown in the above table, the level 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 minimum safe distance was also determined based on the uncontrolled exposure limits defined in Table 1B of FCC rules 1.1311. The following assumptions are made concerning these calculations: 1700 MHz Band Po = 608 mw average Cable Loss = 0 dB Ant Gain = 14 dBi Frequency = 1732.5 MHz Main Beam (worst-case) Rooftop 100% reflection Reasonable Distance = 6 feet (183 cm) Therefore, from OET Bulletin 65, S = (PG)/4R 2 or S = EIRP/4R 2 For 100% reflection, a doubling of the field strength can be expected. The above equation can be modified to, S = (2) 2 PG/4R 2 = EIRP/R 2 Solving for S at a distance of 6 feet (183 cm) gives, S = (608) (25)/  (183) 2 = 0.15 mw/cm 2 From FCC rules 1.1311, Table 1B, the allowable limit for uncontrolled exposure for frequencies above 1500 MHz is 1.0 mw/cm 2 . The calculated value of 0.15 is below both the limit thereby showing compliance under worst-case operating conditions. The Cautions in the Model CSI-DSP95-255-AW manual clearly define the antenna selection and installation criteria in order to maintain a conservative 6 feet (183 cm) separation.

The measurements were taken with the AGC turned off at maximum output power with all spurious emissions below the -13dBm limit. Testing was repeated with LTE modulation. The measured output power matched the manufacturer’s rated output power. 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 WCDMA 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 three frequencies within each passband (uplink and downlink). Testing was repeated with LTE 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 22GHz. Testing was performed for both WCDMA and LTE modulation types. The spurious emissions limit is -13dBm as specified in FCC Part 27. All emissions were below the specified - 13dBm limit. See attached test data. Page 4 of 71 Test Report No. R-5522N Retlif Testing Laboratories R EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER OF SPURIOUS RADIATION Measurement Procedure: The test sample was placed on an 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 – 22GHz. The limit for out of band spurious emissions is -13dBm as specified in Part 27. All emissions were below the specified -13dBm limit. See attached test data. 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. Due to the bandwidth of the modulated signals testing was performed with the two signals centered in the passband instead of at both the upper and lower band edges. The output of each signal generator was adjusted so that the two output fundamental frequencies were equal in magnitud…
