In accordance with 47 CFR FCC Part 2 Subpart J, section 2.1091 this device has been defined as a mobile device whereby a distance of 0.2 m normally can be maintained between the user and the device. Results The following formula was used to calculate the RF exposure, Pd = Pout x G/(4 x π x r 2 cm ) where, Pd = power density in mW/cm 2 Pout = output power to antenna in mW G = gain of antenna in linear scale π = 3.1416 r = distance between observation and center of the radiator in cm From the peak EUT RF output power, the minimum mobile separation distance, r=20 cm, as well as the gain of the used antenna, the RF power density can be obtained. The maximum conducted peak output power from appendix 5 was used for calculation of MPE.

GFSK was deemed to represent worst case modulation. The EUT was tested as a module powered by battery. The test was performed with GFSK modulation if not otherwise stated. Settings of the EUT were performed with an external computer with help of dedicated software. For duty cycle measurements see appendix 2. During test the EUT has a duty cycle of 77 %. The duty cycle correction factor was calculated to 20 log (2.89 / 3.75 ) = -2.3 dB. The PRF was calculated to PRF = 1/T = 1/3.75 ms = 270 Hz. Since the RBW of 1MHz is > PRF, QP-detector was used without any correction for pulse desensitization.
