Attestation Statements

Attestation Statement Concerning the Iridium 9602SB Transceiver TRaC test report TTR-002027WUS1 FCC ID: Q639602-SB Incorrect Carrier Power. This is to confirm that the TRaC test report TTR-002027WUS1 contains an incorrect conducted carrier power measurement. The conducted carrier power is shown in this report as 31.34 dBm. This report was submitted and a grant issued under FCC ID Q639602- SB. Subsequently, after the report was issued a fault was discovered with the power sensor head, serial No. 1564 used for this measurement. This fault is not apparent during the normal set up and calibration procedure for the power sensor. The power sensor head fails to read the correct power only in very specific frequency bands. The conducted carrier power has been re-measured using an alternative power sensor head, Serial No. 236997/010 and the measured levels were found to be higher than those previously recorded. The measurement was then cross checked with a third sensor head Serial No. 100002 and found to give the same result. The new power levels are now recorded in TRaC test report TTR-002027WUS1-2 and a comparison of results is shown in the table below, in both cases the measurements are seen to be below the required limits. Channel Number Incorrect levelCorrect LevelLimit Level 1 31.34 dBm34.38 dBm70 dBm 75 31.31 dBm34.38 dBm70 dBm 150 31.31 dBm34.39 dBm70 dBm 240 31.34 dBm34.39 dBm70 dBm In order to avoid this problem in the future, we have now changed our procedure for the measurement of conducted power to include a second power sensor. If you require any further details about the measurement and the power sensor head originally used I will be happy to supply these. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on November 11, 2011.

TTR-002027WUS1-2Page 7 of 63 Product Description The satellite communications moduleconsists of an L-Band Transceiver (LBT) capable of simultaneous transmit and receive (duplex) operation covering the frequency range of 1616MHz to 1626.5MHz. The frequency accesses used for duplex channels are organised into sub-bands each of which contains eight frequency accesses. Each sub-band, therefore occupies 333.33 kHz (i.e. 8x41.667kHz). Up to 30 sub-bands containing 240 frequency accesses may be used for duplex channels.

Grant Notes
Modular Transmitter. Power output listed is conducted. The antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed 3dBi (antennas for use with this module are listed in the product manual) The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Antenna configurations with higher gains than above are addressed at time of licensing. The final product operating with this transmitter must include operating instructions and applicable warnings for end users and installers to satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements. OEM integrators must be informed of the specific requirements This Grant of Authorization was revised on the 5th of December 2011 to correct the power listing, which was incorrect as a result of a test error and erroneous transcription from the test report.
