BEL20000 Product Manual – 2.4 GHz WLAN Radio Module September 2003 Page 3 of 12 PM20000-001 version 2 Introduction The BEL20000 (hereafter referred to as “the module”) is a 2.4 GHz radio module compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless LAN operation. It is designed to be interoperable with WLAN products which are based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology. The module contains a complete 802.11b radio and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol engine which allows implementation of an 802.11b access point (AP). The module is not intended for stand-alone operation. It will only be marketed as a complete product, in conjunction with a package, DC power supply and antenna (hereafter referred to as “the product” or the “final product”). Since the module has a BelAir networks proprietary digital interface, it cannot be directly connected to any standard telecommunications or computer devices. It can only be used with final products designed and authorized specifically for that purpose.

BelAir Networks 2.4 GHz Radio Module MPE Engineering Analysis Aug 22, 2003 Engineering Analysis MPE for 2.4 GHz Transceiver FCC ID: RAR20000001 BelAir Networks This analysis was performed as part of the FCC certification requirements for spread spectrum devices, according to the requirements of: FCC part 15.247 (b) (4), and FCC OET Bulletin 65 “Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields”. The measured transmit power values and worst-case maximum antenna gain for the bottom, middle, and highest transmit channel were used for the MPE calculations. Calculations were performed based on FCC OET Bulletin 65. The calculations are performed based on the following formula provided in OET 65: S = EIRP / (4πR 2 ). For R = 20 cm (8 inches) Channel Transmit Power [dBm] Maximum antenna gain [dBi] Maximum EIRP [dBm] Maximum EIRP [mW] Calculated worst-case Power Density [mW/cm 2 ] 1 24.4 8.5 32.9 1949.9 0.39 6 25.5 8.5 34.0 2511.9 0.50 11 26.5 8.5 35.0 3162.3 0.63 This calculation is a worst-case analysis since it assumes the device is continuously transmitting. The device utilizes the 802.11 WLAN protocol which operates in time- division duplex (TDD) mode, so the transmit duty cycle can never be 100% in normal operation. Based on these calculations and using the limit for general population/uncontrolled environment of 1.0 mW/cm 2 at 2.4 GHz, the BelAir Networks DSSS transceiver does not exceed the MPE requirements set forth in documents above, with a minimum safety distance between antenna and operator of 20 cm (8 inches). The equipment therefore fulfills the requirements on power density for general population/uncontrolled exposure and therefore complies with the requirements of FCC Part 15.247 (b) (4) and FCC OET Bulletin 65.
