Model 5103 Antenna System Settings and User Notes Manual MN30-191 Rev -A FCC NOTICES: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules: Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, Including interference that may cause undesired operation Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Operation of this device is restricted to law enforcement, fire and rescue officials, scientific research institutes, commercial mining companies, and construction companies. Operation by any other party is a violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties. Coordination Requirements. (a) UWB imaging systems require coordination through the FCC before the equipment may be used. The operator shall comply with any constraints on equipment usage resulting from this coordination. (b) The users of UWB imaging devices shall supply detailed operational areas to the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology who shall coordinate this information with the Federal Government through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. The information provided by the UWB operator shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact information of the user, the desired geographical area of operation, and the FCC ID number and other nomenclature of the UWB device. This material shall be submitted to the following address: Frequency Coordination Branch., OET Federal Communications Commission 445 12 th Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 ATTN: UWB Coordination (d) Users of authorized, coordinated UWB systems may transfer them to other qualified users and to different locations upon coordination of change of ownership or location to the FCC and coordination with existing authorized operations. (e) The NTIA/FCC coordination report shall include any needed constraints that apply to day-to-day operations. Such constraints could specify prohibited areas of operations or areas located near authorized radio stations for which additional coordination is required before operation of the UWB equipment. If additional local coordination is required, a local coordination contact will be provided. (f) The coordination of routine UWB operations shall not take longer than 15 business days from the receipt of the coordination request by NTIA. Special temporary operations may be handled with an expedited turn-around time when circumstances warrant. The operation of UWB systems in emergency situations involving the safety of life or property may occur without coordination provided a notification procedure, similar to that contained in CFR47 Section 2.405(a)-(e), is followed by the UWB equipment user. NOTICE: Use of this device as a wall imaging system is prohibited by FCC regulations. Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. Model 5106 Antenna System Settings and User Notes Manual MN30-191 Rev -A 1 Model 5103 Antenna The Model 5103 antenna has greatly improved resolution performance over previous GSSI mid-frequency antennas, such as the Model 3105 (300 MHz). The Model 5103 can be used in continuous, survey wheel or static stacking modes. The Model 5103 can only be used with a “deadman” switch with the SIR-20 or SIR-3000 control units. These systems are designed to drive the antenna at its maximum rated pulse repetition frequency of 100 KHz. These limitations are imposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) System Setup - Standard Settings Preset Settings: Range/Depth …

FRN: 0007-2729-25 FCC ID: QF7-5103 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. 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, Dennis J. Johnson President, Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.

Letter of Agency I appoint Intertek Testing Services NA Inc. to act on our behalf in front of the Federal Communications Commission with respect to all matters relating to certification of equipment under the FCC rules until further notice.

To: Joe Dichoso FCC Application Processing Branch Re: FCC ID QF75103 Applicant: Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. Correspondence Reference Number: 23931 731 Confirmation Number: EA968303 1) The pulse has no carrier frequency. It is a single cycle of approximately 2.5ns. The pulse repetition freque nc y is fi xed at 100 kH z. 2) Measurements were made at 960MHz with a log-periodic antenna for Part 15C (18.6dBuV/m; EIRP = -76.6dBm). The measured levels using the horn antenna at 960MHz for Part 15F were approximately 10dB higher (EIRP = -66.5dBm). According to CISPR 16-1 the QP/RMS comparison is 20dB at a PRF of 100Hz. At 10kHz (10% of actual repetition rate) the pulse response curve reduces this value by ~12dB, resulting in expected difference between RMS and QP of approximately 8dB. As the log- periodic is actually 10dB lower, the horn antenna data is considered to be adequately representative. 3) The new Test Report Exhibit – file name “5103_plot.pdf “– is representative of the –10dB bandwidth. These levels have been corrected for antenna factor, cable loss and preamp. 4) The original test data was acquired with a 20mS sweep time. In each 20ms sweep there are 1000 acquired points resulting in one sample every 20s. The spectrum analyzer was in sample mode so each sweep represents ‘instantaneous’ levels, as required by paragraph 3 of Appendix F of FCC R&O Docket 98-153. The analyzer was single sweep, manually triggered to capture a worst case sweep, with the maximum measurable number of pulses. In order to reduce the time over which the RMS is calculated, the time (0-20ms) at which the maximum signal is present was recorded as Tmax. RMS calculations were then performed from Tmax- 0.5ms to Tmax+0.5ms using the number of samples recorded in that time. This results in an integration time of 1ms. There are 650 data points for this reduced integration time. The acquired data and table of final data is contained in Table 2 of Section 3.5 of the new Test Report exhibit - file name “Revised_5103_Final Report_revD.doc”. A sample calculation is submitted as the new Test Report exhibit – file name “SampleCalc_5103a.pdf” 5) “The device is used in contact with the ground. However, the R&O does indicate that a spacing of 1 meter or less is permissible. In any case, being away from the ground seriously degrades the data. The antenna is constructed as a five-sided metal box, with the antenna fans in the sixth side, on the ground side. The deadman switch, 10 second timeout, and forbidding wall imaging is all described in the Manual MN30-191 Rev-A. This Updated manual is being uploaded along with this document.” 6) A photograph of the label location is contained in the new Label exhibit - file name “5103 LABEL LOCATION.doc”
