FCC ID: Q87-WUSB54GR Report No. RF941125L02 Operational Description This device is a Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with RangeBooster which operates in the 2.4GHz frequency spectrum with throughput of up to 54Mbps which OFDM technique will be applied. If the signal to noise radio is too poor which could not support 54Mbps, the 11Mbps data rate with CCK technique will be applied. The transmitter of the EUT is powered by host equipment. The antenna are Printed dipole antenna without antenna connector and PIFA antenna without antenna connector. Under normal use condition, the user has to keep at least 20cm separation distance between radiator and the body of the user. The other instruction, please have a look at the users manual.

FCC ID: Q87-WUSB54GR Report No: SA941125L02 1 RF EXPOSURE REPORT REPORT NO.: SA941125L02 MODEL NO.: WUSB54GR ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT: Cisco-Linksys LLC ADDRESS: 121 Theory Drive Irvine, CA 92617 (USA) ISSUED BY: Advance Data Technology Corporation LAB ADDRESS: No. 47, 14th Ling, Chia Pau Tsuen, Lin Kou Hsiang 244, Taipei Hsien, Taiwan, R.O.C. TEST LOCATION: No. 19, Hwa Ya 2nd Rd., Wen Hwa Tsuen, Kwei Shan Hsiang, Taoyuan Hsien 333, Taiwan, R.O.C. FCC ID: Q87-WUSB54GR Report No: SA941125L02 2 RF Exposure Measurement (Mobile Device) 1. Introduction In this document, we try to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body for our product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. The Gain of the antenna used in this product is measured in a Fully Anechoic Chamber (FAC) calibrated for antenna measurement in ADT, and also the maximum total power input to the antenna is measured. Through the Friis transmission formula and the maximum gain of the antenna, we can calculate the distance, away from the product, where the limit of MPE is reached. Although the Friis transmission formula is a far field assumption, the calculated result of that is an over-prediction for near field power density. We will take that as the worst case to specify the safety range. 2. RF Exposure Limit According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(b) LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Average Time (minutes) (A)Limits For Occupational / Control Exposures 300-1500......F/3006 1500-100,000......56 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 300-1500......F/15006 1500-100,000......1.030 F = Frequency in MHz FCC ID: Q87-WUSB54GR Report No: SA941125L02 3 3. Friis Formula Friis transmission formula : Pd = (Pout*G) / (4*pi*r 2 ) where Pd = power density in mW/cm 2 Pout = output power to antenna in mW G = gain of antenna in linear scale Pi = 3.1416 R = distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the MPE value at distance r. Ref. : David K. Cheng, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, Second Edition, Page 640, Eq. (11-133). 4. EUT Operating condition The software provided by Manufacturer enabled the EUT to transmit and receive data at lowest, middle and highest channel individually. 5. Classification The antenna of this product, under normal use condition, is at least 20cm away from the body of the user. Warning statement to the user for keeping at least 20cm or more separation distance with the antenna should be included in users manual. So, this device is classified as Mobile Device. FCC ID: Q87-WUSB54GR Report No: SA941125L02 4 6. Test Results 6.1 Antenna Gain The maximum Gain measured in Fully Anechoic Chamber is 1.5dBi or 1.41254 (numeric). 6.2 Output Power Into Antenna & RF Exposure value at distance 20cm: 802.11b DSSS modulation Channel Channel Frequency (MHz) Output Power to Antenna (mW) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Limit of Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) 1241263.5330.0181.000 6243780.5380.0231.000 11246231.7690.0091.000 802.11g OFDM modulation Channel Channel Frequency (MHz) Output Power to Antenna (mW) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Limit of Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) 1241250.3500.0141.000 6243750.3500.0141.000 11246250.2340.0141.000
