RF Exposure Info

1 Memorandum To: FCC Examiner/Engineer From: Phillip Inglis, Cetecom bvba/Agent for Wavecom Date: 05/13/2001 Re : FCC ID:O9EWMOD2B-G0919 This is a supplement to address additional issues related to the pending application for the referenced FCC ID:O9EWMOD2B-G0919, related to RF exposure requiremens for FCC certification. This device is designed and intended for mobile applications only. However, RF exposure compliance has been addressed for fixed applications in addition to mobile applications. Included in the users manual are definitions for fixed and portable applications and limitations on antenna gain as appropriate for each application to insure that end users and OEMs have been provided necessary information to permit them to avoid exceeding the RF exposure guidelines as provided in the Commission’s Rules. This information includes the following: 20 cm separation between the body and the antenna must be maintained, use in portable applications is prohibited, for mobile applications the maximum antenna gain is 3 dBi, and for fixed applications the maximum antenna gain is 7 dBi. The factory tuning procedure ensures that the transmitter output power does not exceed 1 watt. Measured maximum for the unit tested was 851 milliwatts as measured during an interval of transmission. Sections 6 and 7 of the revised and filed users manual described as “Users Manual with Addendum” address the various warnings and provide instructions to users and OEMs in order to make all parties aware of their responsibilities. Following the provided installation and operating requirements will ensure compliance with the MPE limits, regardless of application. Regarding MPE limits, GPUC environment limits maximum exposure to 1 mW/cm 2 . Wit h 0.873 watts output and 7 dBi gain antenna for fixed applications (numerical ratio = 5) this system produces a maximum power densit y of 0.868 mWatts/cm 2 at a distance of 20 cm. Calculations are based on standard formula for calculating field strength at a distance and converting to power density using free space impedance. Further, the device uses the GSM protocol which is a TDD format ratio of 1/8. Thus the 0.868 mWatts/cm 2 is further reduce d by this ratio or it is equivalent to 0.109 mWatt s/cm2. Since compliance is shown for the worst case condition for the unintended application in a fixed application, compliance with MPE requirements for the mobile application with a maximum antenna gain of 3 dBi is ass ured. This analysis is based on conducted measured power. Again, instructions to insure compliance with RF exposure requirements are provided for both the user and OEMs. These instructions will permit OEMs to provide the necessary information to the May 13, 2001 2 end users of their products in order to insure the end user is not exposed to electromagnetic radiation that exceeds the FCC limits.

In all cases, the peak output power is within the required mask (this mask is specified in the JTC standards, TIA PN3389 Vol. 1 Chap 7, and is no FCC requirement). Method of Measurements: The EUT was set up for the max. output power with pseudo random data modulation. The power was measured with R&S Spectrum Analyzer FSEM 30 ( peak and average) This measurements were done at 3 frequencies, 1850.2 MHz, 1880.0 MHz and 1909.8 MHz (bottom, middle and top of operational frequency range) Limits: Power Step Nominal Peak Output Power (dBm) Tolerance (dB) 0 +30 ± ±± ± 2 Power Measurements: Conducted: Frequency (MHz) Power Step Peak Output Power (dBm) Average Output Power (dBm) 1850.2 0 29.29 20.00 1880.0 0 29.41 20.12 1909.8 0 29.29 20.00 Measurement uncertainty ± ±± ±0.5 dB CETECOM Inc. Test report no.: 142FCC/2001 Issue date: 2001.05.10 Page 8 (53) EIRP Measurements Description: This is the test for the maximum radiated power from the EUT. Rule Part 24.232(b) specifies that "Mobile/portable stations are limited to 2 watts e.i.r.p. peak power..." and 24.232(c) specifies that "Peak transmit power must be measured over any interval of continuous transmission using instrumentation calibrated in terms of an rms-equivalent voltage." Method of Measurement: 1. In an anechoic antenna test chamber, a half-wave dipole antenna for the frequency band of interest is placed at the reference center of the chamber. An RF Signal source for the frequency band of interest is connected to the dipole with a cable that has been constructed to not interfere with the radiation pattern of the antenna. A known (measured) power (Pin) is applied to the input of the dipole, and the power received (Pr) at the chamber's probe antenna is recorded. 2. A "reference path loss" is established as Pin + 2.1 - Pr. 3. The EUT is substituted for the dipole at the reference center of the chamber. The EUT is put into CW test mode and a scan is performed to obtain the radiation pattern. 4. From the radiation pattern, the co-ordinates where the maximum antenna gain occurs is identified. 5. The EUT is then put into pulse mode at its maximum power level (Power Step 0). 6. "Gated mode" power measurements are performed with the receiving antenna placed at the coordinates determined in Step 3 to determine the output power as defined in FCC Rule 24.232 (b) and (c). The "reference path loss" from Step 1 is added to this result. 7. This value is EIRP since the measurement is calibrated using a half-wave dipole antenna of known gain (2.…
