The maximum output power declared by the 3Com Corporation. EUT model # WL-600 was evaluated accordance with the requirements for compliance testing defined in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01) and meet the SAR requirement, the phantom employed was the box phantom of 2mm thick in one wall. The total uncertainty for the evaluation of the spatial peak SAR values averaged over a cube of 1g tissue mass had been assessed for this system to be ±20.6%, the dosimetry assessment system INDEXSAR SARA2 was used. In summary, the maximum spatial peak SAR value for the sample device averaged over 1g was found to be: Phantom Position (worst case) SAR 1g , W/kg 2mm thick box phantom wall 802.11b middle channel EUT lei bottom 00mm to phantom 0.518 W/kg In conclusion, the tested Sample device was found to be in compliance with the requirements defined in OET Bul…
