I&C Guide 9/26/2003 Appendix L: Antenna Power & Cable Selection Overview This section provides formulas and data that are necessary inputs for determining the right cable to be measured, cut, and installed. There are 3 types of cables that are part of the Base Station installation: antenna cables, calibration (cal) cable, and data/power cable. The antenna cables are the eight cables that carry amplified RF signals. They run between the RF/PA cards and the 8 antenna elements. The calibration (cal) cable is a single RF coaxial cable that provides an RF feedback path for calibrating the system. It runs between the backplane of the digital shelf and the RFS. The data/power cable may or may not be a separate cable from the cal cable. It is possible to use different types of cable with different loss factors for the antenna cables and cal cable. The formulas presented in this section call for either an antenna cable loss or a cal cable loss. Most applications deploy the same cable type for both the antenna and cal cables. To determine the type of cable and acceptable loss of that cable for a site, the operating transmit and receive range must be known. This is commonly referred to as the maximum transmit output power and the receiver sensitivity range. The operating transmit power and receive range should have been identified during the site survey, or they may be based on regulatory compliance. Determining the cable type and acceptable loss for a site are typically driven by two goals: (1) Which is the least expensive cable; and (2) Which has the higher (normally) loss. Whether or not the goals are achieved is determined by the output power. For example, the maximum transmit output power for a 2.6 Base Station might be given as +30dBm, or 1 Watt, to the antenna. An example of receiver sensitivity for a 2.6 system would be given as – 80 to –90 dBm. In addition to cable power loss, other types of loss have to be factored - for example, the calibration board. The calibration board is part of the RFS that samples the energy being transmitted from or received by the 8 antenna elements and combines that energy which is used when performing a calibration on the Base Station. This loss, plus cable loss and other types of loss in the equipment are called out in the following procedure. Procedure Read and follow the 7 steps/formulas below, in the order shown, to determine the resulting PA/RFS output power and desired transmit and receive calibration range for the type of Base Station you will be installing. Refer to Tables L1 and L2 to complete the steps. Table L1 provides Base Station operating parameters based on system type (2.3, 2.4, etc.), as well as other variables. Table L2 provides cable attenuation data. Before you begin, read through the steps/formulas, notes, and Table L1 in detail. Refer to the column letters at the top of Table L1 to locate the appropriate values requested in some of the formulas. Note that step/formula 1 contains a sub-procedure for determining antenna cable loss using Table L2.

I&C Guide 9/26/2003 NOTES 1 This note pertains to Step/Formula 1: For PA_Output_Power, if in the U.S. use Column A. If outside the U.S., as a precaution contact Navini Technical Support (Engineering) for sign-off. The value input cannot be more than the value shown in Column B. 2 This note pertains to Step/Formula 1: BTS_Loss is either (a) loss with a filter - i.e., if operating in the U.S. or other market that requires a filter, or (b) loss with a bypass cable. The first number (+1) is the correct value if a standard filter is used. The second number (0.4) is the correct value if a bypass cable is used. In Column D, for a 2.3 GHz system the values are the same for both the 8-carrier and the 10-carrier systems. 3 Min loss in Cal Board is 27 dB. Max loss in Cal Board…

American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 September 24, 2003 RE: FCC ID: PL6-WCS-BTS1 Attention: John Grabner I have a few comments on this Application. 1. Please note that I cannot open the following schematic files: Confidential_62-17123-10a.pdf. Does this schematic have anything to do with the power or frequency determining capability of the rf? If so, I will need to review it. Please provide a new document. - new schematc provided 2. Please note that the manual states 20cm separation is needed. Please note that the MPE calculated for a 30dBm delivered to an 18dBi antenna as mentioned in the manual means that a minimum separation distance of 32 cm is required for general public and 71 cm is required for occupational/controlled. Please provide an MPE report showing your calculations for safe distances. Please correct the manual to use an appropriate safe distance (e.g. 1 meter). Please note that a warning statement on or near the antenna will have to be used. Please provide a copy of this label / statement. - 1. meter 3. The table and notes on page 5 of the report appear to indicate that the power delivered to the antenna port of the device will never exceed 1W (30dBm). Please verify the manner in which this is accomplished (AGC etc). - ok 4. Please note that for this frequency range of the fundamental power and spurious emissions limits are expressed in EIRP. Please provide evidence that the device meets the EIRP power limitations of 27.50. - ok 5. Please note that Spurious emissions is to be measured in the same units and method as power. Please note that for part 27 devices in this frequency range spurious emissions needs to be EIRP, not ERP. Please correct the report to reflect the proper methods and limits. - ok 6. In the test details section 9 of the report under EIRP, please reference the proper TIA 603 document (your reference is TIS630 which is a different document) - ok 7.

CAUTION: This device is intended to be used with an antenna mounted to a fixed, outdoor structure. This device is a radio frequency transmitter. It is required to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices. A minimum separation distance of 80.00cm or more must be maintained between the antenna and all persons during device operations to ensure compliance with the FCC’s rules for Radio Frequency Exposure. If this minimum distance cannot be maintained, exposure to RF levels that exceed the FCC's limits may result. 80cm calculation is based on the maximum peak power.

The EUT can operate in WCS channels AB high, AB low, C, or D by design with appropriate block or channel filters inserted into the EUT. Three capacity configurations are available which consists of 10, 8, or 6 Carriers. A Carrier is a fundamental transmitter signal that is 500 kHz wide in bandwidth. An EUT Channel Bandwidth of 5 MHz consists of 10 Carriers each with a 500 kHz bandwidth.
