July 21, 2008 Attention: Application Examiner Reviewing Engineer Re: Request for confidentiality Applicant: Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. FRN: 0007-2729-25 FCC ID: QF750400 To whom it may concern, Request is hereby submitted by Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc., to withhold from public review certain portions of the application for equipment certification for the referenced FCC identifier. In particular, the following sections of the application are requested to be kept confidential: • Schematics • Detailed Block diagrams • Detailed Operational/Functional Description Rationale for request for confidentiality: Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. has invested considerable time and materials in research and development to produce the referenced product. Disclosure of the confidential portions of this application to competitors would not only give them significant competitive advantages in developing similar products, but would also disclose successful implementation of unpublished, leading edge technology developed by us. A separate letter justifying confidential treatment of the internal photographs is included. The fee for confidentiality has been submitted along with the fee for certification. If you have questions or need further information, please contact the undersigned. Sincerely, Alan E. Schutz Vice President of Technology Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.

The fractional bandwidth shall be equal to or greater than 0.20 or has a UWB bandwidth equal to or greater than 500 MHz, regardless of the fractional bandwidth. Pass Line Conducted Emissions Not Applicable -- REVISION SUMMARY – The following changes have been made to this Report: Date Project No. Project Handler Page(s) Item Description of Change 5/30/08 3153005 Kouma Sinn 12, 13, 16, 17, 20, 21 Radiated Emissions Data Changed data from 960MHz-10GHz from AVG to RMS 7/14/08 3153005 Kouma Sinn Whole report Model # change Changed model # from 4105A to 42000 7/14/08 3153005 28 10 dB BW for Model 4105A Changed the statement “The UWB Bandwidth >500MHz” to “The UWB Bandwidth is greater than 500MHz, therefore, fractional bandwidth calculation is not necessary” 10/02/08 3153005 Kouma Sinn Whole Report Separated report for each model # The original report has three models in it. Need to separate report for each model for FCC certification. Report Number: 3153005BOX-001d Page 5 of 17 3.0 Sample Calculations: The field strength is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Factor, and subtracting the Amplifier Gain (if any) from the measured reading. The basic equation with a sample calculation is as follows: FS = RA + AF + CF - AG Where FS = Field Strength in dBμV/m RA = Receiver Amplitude (including preamplifier) in dBμV CF = Cable Attenuation Factor in dB AF = Antenna Factor in dB AG = Amplifier Gain in dB In the following table(s), the reading shown on the data table reflects the preamplifier gain. An example for the calculations in the following table is as follows. Assume a receiver reading of 52.0 dBμV is obtained. The antenna factor of 7.4 dB and cable factor of 1.6 dB is added. The amplifier gain of 29 dB is subtracted, giving a field strength of 32 dBμV/m. This value in dBμV/m was converted to its corresponding level in μV/m. RA = 52.0 dBμV AF = 7.4 dB/m CF = 1.6 dB AG = 29.0 dB FS = 32 dBμV/m Level in μV/m = [10( 32 dBμV/m)/20] = 39.8 μV/m The following is how net line-conducted readings were determined: NF = RF + LF + CF + AF Where NF = Net Reading in dBμV RF = Reading from receiver in dBμV LF = LISN Correction Factor in dB CF = Cable Correction Factor in dB AF = Attenuator Loss Factor in dB To convert from dBμV to μV or mV the following was used: UF = 10 (NF / 20) where UF = Net Reading in μV Example: NF = RF + LF + CF + AF = 28.5 + 0.2 + 0.4 + 20.0 = 49.1 dBμV UF = 10 (48.1 dBμV / 20) = 254 μV/m Report Number: 3153005BOX-001d Page 6 of 17 4.0 Measurement Uncertainty: Compliance of the product is based on the measured value. However, the measurement uncertainty is included for informational purposes. The expanded uncertainty (k = 2) for radiated emissions from …
