Theoretical Processing Gain: PG(theor.) = 10log(chip rate / data rate) + 10log(2 x bits/symbol) = 10log(11 Mcps/11 Mbps) + 10log(2 x 8 bits/symbol) = 12.04 dB 2. Data Rate: The NCL1100 is configured and intended for raw data transmission rates of 11 Mbps. 3. Chip-Symbol Ratio: There are 8 bits conveyed per symbol, for each the I and Q channels, using Quadrature M-ary Bi-Orthogonal Keying (QMBOK) modulation. 4. Spread Rate: The spread rate implemented is 11 Mcps. Ivan Rodrigues WaveRider, Inc.

RESPONSE TO ITEMS REQUESTED BY FCC - OET Correspondence #: 11209 on 28 December, 1999: Re: FCC ID OOX-NCL1100 Applicant: Waverider Communications ( Canada ), Inc. Correspondence Reference Number: 11209 731 Confirmation Number: EA95321 Date of Original E-Mail: 12/28/1999 1) Please submit information requested in item # 4 of the 10/27/1999 fax. *** The process gain measurements must be submitted at the highest data rate for each Chip/symbol rate. 2) When measuring the output power, the RBW must be greater than the 6 dB bandwidth and the VBW must be greater than the RBW. The 6 dB bandwidth of the device is about 12 MHz wide. Retest with the proper analyzer settings or use a power meter. 3) List all antennas, the antenna gain, the output power and total EIRP( Power in dBm + Antenna gain in dBi) for each. 4) The submitted RF exhibit is under review and will be forwarded as soon as possible. The items indicated above must be submitted before processing can continue on the above referenced application. Failure to provide the requested information within 60 days of the original e-mail date may result in application dismissal pursuant to Section 2.917 (c) and forfeiture of the filing fee pursuant to section 1.1108. Responses to these four items are found on the following pages. RESPONSE TO #1... The Waverider model NCL-1100 module runs only at a data rate of 11 MBS, and a chip to symbol ratio of 8:1, this was the only rate used, and reflects the system parameters in use for the jamming margin test submitted with the filing. This test was performed on a Product using the Harris Chipset, at the same designated rates, and the results were submitted with this product filing, as per the e-mail from Greg Chumack, referenced in the Technical Report. RESPONSE TO #2... From the original test report, Power output recorded on 31 August, 1999: 2.6 Power Output Test Performed For the 15.247b measurement, the output of the Waverider model NCL 1100 module, including bandpass filter and lightning arrestor, was connected via a short jumper cable created only for this measurement, into the input of the HP E4407B Spectrum Analyzer. The unit was configured to run in a continuous transmit mode, with a pseudo-random test code supplied by software to provide modulation. The HP receiver was set to a 5 MHz Bandwidth, and the transmitted signal was then stored, with the peak signal level stored. This power level was collected for the lowest, highest and middle channels and can be seen in the chart presented below.

The Waverider wireless bridge is an exclusive fixed, point to point system, that uses a 24 dBi gain parabola mounted on a pipe or tower in a fixed outdoor application. Below is the specifications for the Conifer 26T-2400. At the bottom of the specification sheet is a set of calculations detailing the system radiated power output parameters. Only the Conifer 26T-2400 antenna is supplied with the system: Pout + Gain:17 DBm + 24 dB = 41 dBm (eirp) Pout of 17 dBm measured maximum. Antenna gain of 24 dBi quoted gain. For this antenna, 15.247(b)(3)(i) allows: Pout + Gain < 48 dBm (eirp) 30 dBm {1 watt allowed by 15.247 (b)(1)} less { (24-6) / 3 } or 6 dB = 24 dBm so 24 dBm (allowed power) + 24 dB (antenna gain) = 48 dBm (eirp) RESPONSE TO #4...
