Version 501D Confidential and Proprietary 5 of 24 Technologies Inc. novra TM 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Principles of Operation Somewhere in the world is a location that transmits your signal, along with many others, up to a satellite which turns around and transmits those signals back down to your location, and others. Your satellite dish catches all these signals, and the electronics at the dish converts them all into a group that travels down the cable to your S75 receiver. The S75 sifts through all the signals sent by the satellite looking for your signal (a DVB stream) and forwards to your computer the portion containing the signals you want. Your computer further dissects the signals and converts them into a format that is usable by other programs on your PC. The S75 Management Console is used to configure addresses, specify satellite tuning parameters and select DVB information streams (PIDS). Once configured, the S75 will retain its settings and continue to forward data transmitted to you by your service provider even after restarting the S75 or your PC. The S75 Receiver is meant to run in the background on your PC. In most cases, once the options have been set you will have no need to change them.

This step will determine what parts of the manual are relevant to your setup. 3.11 Basic In this arrangement, someone else has already dealt with the satellite dish issues and distributed the signals so all that is required of you, is a connection to a coax cable. This arrangement has no control of the LNB. If this is your setup, you have a BASIC connection.

FCC ID: POIS750100 Reply to TCB findings ----- Original Message ----- From: Curtis-Straus TCB To: Ruby Dulmage Sent: June 13, 2002 5:00 PM Subject: Novra FCC ID: POIS750100 Hi Ruby, We have the following issues after our review of the application: 1. Please supply a block diagram as one was not supplied. Attached. 2. The 15.21 statement is not in the manual. Added to the attached manual. 3. The device was tested with the antenna in port terminated in a highly shielded coax cable and 75 ohm termination. In actual use this would be terminated into an antenna which is inherently unshielded. Please provide an engineering justification for testing without the antenna or provide radiated emissions test data for the device with an antenna attached. The S75 Receiver does not directly connect to a radiating element but it connects to a down-converter (10.7-12.75GHz down to 950-2150MHz). Hypothetically, if the receiver were to radiate the full LO power, the radiated field strength at 3m would still be well within the limit. The following is the calculation supporting that claim: E^2/(Zo) = Pt*Gt/(4*pi*R^2) where E = electric field (V/m) Pt=LO power (W) ---> -77dBm (measured at 950 and 960 MHz at the output of the receiver) Zo=impedance of free space = 120*pi Gt= gain taken to be 1 R= distance from the radiating element = 3m Pt =-77dBm = 2e-11 W E=8.16 micro volts ---> Limit = 500 micro volts at 3m at 960MHz. 4. The FCC do not regulate receivers capable of tuning above 960MHz therefore testing should be conducted with the local oscillator set to the appropriate frequency for tuning to the 950-960MHz band. Please supply revised test data. The grant will only quote the 950 to 960 MHz band. Depending on approval of answer to question 3 above, test data may be OK as submitted. Please advise. TCB – Existing data acceptable. 5. CXX is not the correct equipment code. HID would be more appropriate. The S75 is not a TV receiver as it's output is Ethernet traffic. Other choices from the list that has been provided in form 731 are CYY or JBP. I'm not sure if JBP is available as a code anymore. Please advise. TCB – FCC advise that CXX is acceptable. Best regards Barry C. Quinlan Certification Manager Curtis-Straus TCB

Technical Information This Document is Confidential to Novra Technologies Inc. Theory of Operation The S75 is a DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) satellite receiver that will provide Internet and Multicast services to any computer with a 10/100 Mbps network interface. Satellite data rates up to 50Mbs can be delivered to a single computer or to a LAN. In addition to IP based data delivery, the S75 allows DVB pipes, DVB streams, and DVB data and Object carousels to be transferred onto an IP network. The S75 receiver has a tuning range of 950 - 2150MHz. It will receive a QPSK signal levels from the LNB (Low Noise Block) in the range of –65dBm to –25dBm at symbol rates between 1 and 45 Msps. Through the same ( F-type) port the receiver will also power the LNB with 18V. The S75 itself is power by 24V DC (supplied by AC/DC converter) S75 Receiver – Application Diagram content, Internet Uplink novra S75 Return channel DVB-S
