American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 October 25, 2002 RE: BROMAX COMMUNICATIONS INC. FCC ID: O6M-WE302TF After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. Please Note that SAR issues will be sent under a separate letter (when this exhibit has been provided). These comments are all made upon the assumption that the EUT's full conducted output power is 63.0 mW and the antenna gain is 1.0 dBi. EMC Issues 1) The block diagram should show the frequency of all oscillators in the device (CFR 2.1033(a)(5)). 2) The operational description explains the device is to be used with 2.5 cm spacing. The device may be used as a general purpose PCMCIA card in a variety of devices including laptops & PDA's, etc. (some of these devices may be used in the lap or while on the body). Therefore touch position IS considered applicable and the device must be subject to portable exposure conditions (2.5 cm separation distance is NOT considered applicable). Please remove the phrase "This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 2.5 cm between the radiator and your body." from the users manual as this is not considered applicable. 3) The RF exposure information states 2.5 cm which is no longer considered valid. However, an email mentioned that a SAR report will be uploaded. This exhibit will replace the MPE calculations provided. 4) The users manual (page 38 of 38) states the EUT incorporates Strip Antennas, while the test report states Chip Antennas. Please correct these exhibits to be consistent. 5) Note: SAR REPORT NOT YET PROVIDED. Timothy R. Johnson Examining Engineer mailto: [email protected] The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information may result in application termination. Correspondence should be considered part of the permanent submission and may be viewed from the Internet after a Grant of Equipment Authorization is issued.

In order for your response to be processed expeditiously, you must submit your documents through the AmericanTCB.com website.

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 November 5, 2002 RE: BROMAX COMMUNICATIONS INC. FCC ID: O6M-WE302TF After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. SAR Issues 1) A field probe must be calibrated in tissue media with the target dielectric parameters specified in Appendix C of IEEE 1528, corresponding to the operating frequency ranges of the test device. Probe conversion factors by extrapolation is not allowed for TCB approval and the calibration should be performed within 5% target dielectric property window for the testing performed (dielectric information was not specified in calibration information). It appears that the additional conversion factors provided by the manufacturer may be extrapolated factors. Please comment or provide additional probe calibration information for the 2.4 GHz band measured. 2) The test procedure does not appear to report probe tip distance to phantom inner surface during the scan. 3) The report does not appear to a) list measurement and interpolation resolutions of “zoom” scan procedures, b) contain descriptions of extrapolation procedures used to estimate SAR values adjacent to phantom surface, c) description of averaging (integration) procedures to get 1-g SAR from final interpolated grid. Please provide this information. Timothy R.

FCC ID: O6M-WE302TF ADT No.910814R04 Operational Description The transmitter of the EUT is powered by host equipment. The antenna is Strip antenna. There is no antenna connector. The other instruction, please have a look at the users manual. DSSS Information This device is Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum, the data is mixed by pseudorandom code which is an orthogonal code. The mixed data is digital modulated by BPSK and QPSK technique depends on the data rates. The CCK coding is applied for increasing the data rate. The bit rates are 1,2,5.5,11,22Mbps, the symbol rates are 1,1,1.375,1.375,1.375 Mbps, the chip rates are always 11Mbps. So, the Chip/symbol is 11,11,8,8,and16 respectively. Although is higher bit rate, the processing gain is lower than 10, but the CCK coding used in higher bit rate will provide 2.2dB coding gain.

FCC ID: O6M-WE302TF SAR Evaluation Dear Tim, On behalf of Bromax Communications Inc. is our response to your e-mail dated 11/05/02 requesting additional information for the subject application. 1. The probe conversion factors used for the evaluation were certified by the system manufacturer using numerical modeling. According to correspondence from Tim Harrington with the FCC on 11/06/02, system manufacturer’s certified probe conversion factors are permitted in accordance with Supplement C and P1528 draft. 2. The probe tip distance to phantom inner surface during the scan was 1.3 +/- 0.2 mm (probe manufacturer’s specification, shown in Appendix D of the SAR report). 3. Please refer to the attached revised SAR evaluation procedures (page 7 of SAR report). If you have any further questions or comments concerning the above, please contact the undersigned. Sincerely, Jonathan Hughes General Manager Celltech Research Inc. Test Report S/N: 091002-278O6M Test Date(s): September 13, 2002 FCC SAR Evaluation © 2002 Celltech Research Inc. BROMAX COMMUNICATIONS INC. FCC ID: O6M-WE302TF 7 of 22 DSSS 11M WLAN Cardbus Card for Laptop PC (2412-2462MHz) 6.0 EVALUATION PROCEDURES a. (i) The evaluation was performed in the applicable area of the phantom depending on the type of device being tested. For devices held to the ear during normal operation, both the left and right ear positions were evaluated in accordance with FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01) using the SAM phantom. (ii) For body-worn and face-held devices a planar phantom was used. b. The SAR was determined by a pre-defined procedure within the DASY3 software. Upon completion of a reference and optical surface check, the exposed region of the phantom was scanned near the inner surface with a grid spacing of 20mm x 20mm. c. Based on the area scan data, the area of maximum absorption was determined by spline interpolation. Around this point, a volume of 40 x 40 x 35 mm (fine resolution volume scan, zoom scan) was assessed by measuring 5 x 5 x 7 points. d. The 1g and 10g spatial peak SAR was determined as follows: 1. The first step was an extrapolation to find the points between the dipole center of the probe and the surface of the phantom. This data cannot be measured, since the center of the dipoles is 2.7 mm away form the tip of the probe and the distance between the surface and the lowest measuring point is 1.3 mm (see probe calibration document in Appendix D). The extrapolation was based on a least square algorithm [W. Gander, Computermathematik, p.168-180]. Through the points in the first 3 cm in all z-axis, polynomials of the fourth order were calculated. This polynomial was then used to evaluate the points between the surface and the probe tip. 2. The next step used 3D-spline interpolation to get all points within the measured volume in a 1mm grid (35000 points). The 3D-spline is composed of three one-dimensional splines with the "Not a knot" condition [W. Gander, Computermathematik, p.141-150] (x, y and z -direction) [Numerical Recipes in C, Second Edition, p.123ff]. 3. The maximal interpolated value was searched with a straightforward algorithm. Around this maximum the SAR values averaged over the spatial volumes (1g or 10g) were computed using the 3D-spline interpolation algorithm. 8000 points (20x20x20) were interpolated to calculate the average.
