The transmitters can transmit simultaneously. The FCC requires that the calculated MPE be equal to or less than a given limit dependent on frequency at a distance of 20 cm from a device to the body of a user. The following FCC Rule Parts and procedures are applicable: Part 1.1310 – Radiofrequency radiation exposure limits Part 2.1091 – Radiofrequency radiation exposure evaluation: mobile devices KDB447498 D01 v06 Mobile and Portable Devices RF Exposure Procedures and Equipment Authorisation Policies VEGAPULS 42 MAXIMUM TRANSMITTER POWER CONSIDERATIONS 75-85 GHz: Tx Power: EIRP = -50.4dBm (maximum measured output power). 2402-2480 MHz: Tx Power: 4.0 dBm +/- 1.0 dBm (conducted) Antenna gain: -2.0 dBi EIRP = 4.0 dBm + 1.0 dBm – 2.0 dBi = 3.0 dBm VEGA Grieshaber KG Am Hohenstein 113 77761 Schiltach Germany Phone +49 7836 50-0 [email protected] www.vega.com Limited Partnership Registered office: Wolfach Registrar of companies: Freiburg HRA 680687 Commerzbank Villingen-Schwenningen IBAN: DE39 6424 0071 0220 0657 00 BIC: COBADEFF642 Personally liable partners: Isabel Grieshaber Grieshaber Holding GmbH Registered office: Wolfach HRB 680271 Baden-Wuerttembergische Bank IBAN: DE51 6005 0101 7413 5002 00 BIC: SOLADEST600 Directors: Isabel Grieshaber Guenter Kech Markus Kniesel Deutsche Bank Freiburg IBAN: DE79 6647 0035 0044 2400 00 BIC: DEUTDE6F664 Tax-no. 14079/33608 Tax office Offenburg VAT no.

S = EIRP/4 π R 2 Where S = Power density EIRP = Effective Isotropic Radiated Power R = distance to the centre of radiation of the antenna (safe operating distance) For 75-85 GHz: Values: EIRP = -50.4 dBm = 9x10 -6 mW R = 20cm Power Density Requirement From table 1 (e) - Limits for General Population/ Uncontrolled Exposure of FCC Rule Part 1.1310 for 75-85 GHz S req1 = 1.0 mW/cm 2 Calculation: S = 9x10 -6 /4 π R 2 S = 9x10 -6 /(12.56 x 20 2 ) S = 9x10 -6 /(5024) S 1 = 1.79 x 10 -9 mW/ cm 2 (<1.0 mW/cm 2 ) For 2402-2480 MHz: Values: EIRP = 3.0 dBm = 2.0 mW R = 20cm Power Density Requirement VEGA Grieshaber KG Am Hohenstein 113 77761 Schiltach Germany Phone +49 7836 50-0 [email protected] www.vega.com Limited Partnership Registered office: Wolfach Registrar of companies: Freiburg HRA 680687 Commerzbank Villingen-Schwenningen IBAN: DE39 6424 0071 0220 0657 00 BIC: COBADEFF642 Personally liable partners: Isabel Grieshaber Grieshaber Holding GmbH Registered office: Wolfach HRB 680271 Baden-Wuerttembergische Bank IBAN: DE51 6005 0101 7413 5002 00 BIC: SOLADEST600 Directors: Isabel Grieshaber Guenter Kech Markus Kniesel Deutsche Bank Freiburg IBAN: DE79 6647 0035 0044 2400 00 BIC: DEUTDE6F664 Tax-no. 14079/33608 Tax office Offenburg VAT no.

DE2446677 Sparkasse Wolfach IBAN: DE34 6645 2776 0001 0695 50 BIC: SOLADES1WOF From table 1 (b) - Limits for General Population/ Uncontrolled Exposure of FCC Rule Part 1.1310 for 2402-2480 MHz S req2 = 1.0 mW/cm 2 Calculation: S = 2.0/4 π R 2 S = 2.0/(12.56 x 20 2 ) S = 2.0/(5024) S 2 = 0.0004 mW/ cm 2 (<1.0 mW/cm 2 ) KDB447498 D01 v06 Section 7.2 SIMULTANEOUS TRANSMISSION CONSIDERATIONS The equipment operates from a single antenna. All transmitters can transmit simultaneously. As per KDB, summation of calculated MPE ratios for 75-85 GHz and 2402-2480 MHz: ΣMPE ratios = (S 1 / S req1 ) + (S 2 / S req2 ) = (1.79x10 -9 /1.0) + (0.0004/1.0) = 0.0004 Σ of MPE ratios<1.0, so in accordance with KDB447498 Section 7.2, simultaneous transmission test exclusion applies for the transmitters. Conclusion The required 20cm RF exposure limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure will not be exceeded for the VEGAPULS 42.
