PipeHawk plc Systems House Mill Lane Alton HampshireGU34 2QG 13 th August 2003 Federal Communications Commission, FCC Application Processing Branch, Reference FCC ID RBT99061003 Applicant PipeHawk plc Correspondence Reference Number 25574 731 Confirmation Number EA540369 In response to a request by Linda Elliott for the submission of a sketch or photograph showing where the identification label will be placed on the device, pursuant to Section 2.1033(b) (7) of the FCC Rules, at 05:02:18 on Wednesday August 13, 2003, an additional submission was made of an external photograph showing the position of the proposed label. Yours faithfully, Richard J Chignell

Re: FCC ID RBT99061003 Applicant: PipeHawk Plc Correspondence Reference Number: 26325 731 Confirmation Number: EA540369 Quote: “1. You state that the ground plane is beneath the concrete slabs during tests. The photo’s show this also. Remove these slabs and place a 20 inch bed of sand beneath the EUT. Do not put any ground plane beneath the device, remove it. Please retest. Please keep in mind the following and also past measurement issues.” Response: I can confirm that the EUT was placed on a 20 inch bed of sand. The bed of sand was placed on a protective layer of none conductive stone slabs. The slabs are used to protect the ground plane. The ground plane is none removable and was used in line with the FCC’s own guidelines as stipulated by the FCC in there First Report and Order Docket 98-153 Appendix F (7) which states “Field strength measurements may be performed without the use of a ground plane; however, a factor of 4.7 dB must be added to the measurement results thus obtained.” This implies a ground plane may be used without the addition of 4.7 dB. The stone slabs serve the purpose of protection for the ground and have no direct effect on the final result. The measurement is made in compliance with C63.4 5.4 & 5.5. The site attenuation also fits within the specified criteria of C63.4 5.4.6.3 confirming the lack of influence the slabs have on the final result. Please see the following graphs showing the NSA. Graph 1: NSA - Horizontal Polarization. Graph 2: NSA - Vertical Polarization. Quote: “2. Verify the type of Average detector used for making average measurements. Ensure/verify that RMS average is used. The proper integration time is required. You state that CISPR 16-1 is used. This is a measurement standard. Use a RMS detector not an average detector for measurements above 1 GHz and show and explain how the integration time is properly set.” Response: I can confirm that an RMS average detector was used and that its characteristics are as detailed within CISPR 16-1.in the section on CISPR measurement receiver characteristics. Quote: “3. State the pulse width of the device. Ensure that this agrees with the manufacturers specification.” Response: Please see previous correspondence for appropriate response. Quote: “4.

Please explain/correct. Response: Please see previous correspondence for appropriate response. Quote: “5 Page 29 o f 32 still states that different detectors were used when measuring the UWB bandwidth. Quasi peak measurements were made below 1 GHz and peak above 1 GHz. Use peak for below and above 1 GHz and use the same RBW to measure the UWB bandwidth. Please explain/correct or retest accordingly as requested previously.” Response: I can confirm that page 29 states peak detector only. Here is a quote to the reference in the report that was sent too you “The Ultra Wide Bandwidth was measured using a peak detector”. There are no additional references to detector types on page 29.

Dear Sir Please find below the answers to your line of questions. I hope they meet with your satisfaction. 1) I would like to confirm that the ground plane is in fact beneath the concrete slabs when testing was performed. However, these concrete slabs were in place to protect the ground plane in the Open Area Test Site. Therefore, it will not be necessary to take into account the 4.7dB correction factor. 2) see test report. 3) see test report. (We confirm the average detector characteristics are as per CISPR 16-1) 4) This information must be gleaned from the manufacturers data sheets. This is not a test called up by the technical standards. 5) The reason why no pre-amplifier was used, was because a 10dB pre-amplifier was already incorporated within the spectrum analyser. There was sufficient margin between the limit line. 6) FCC Part 15.509(e) states: In addition to the radiated emission limits specified in the table in paragraph (d) of this section, UBW transmitters operating under the provisions of this section shall not exceed the following average limits when measured using a resolution bandwidth of no less than 1 kHz. - Therefore a resolution bandwidth of greater than 1 kHz was used as allowed. 7) see test report. 8) see test report. 9) All intended emissions within 10dB of the peak were taken into account in the UBW bandwidth test. Those emissions within 10dB not taken into account were in fact spurious emissions. 10) The data does not show peak levels of the EUT operating in standby mode. These were in fact taken while the EUT was transmitting. However, taking into consideration the emission bandwidth that the EUT operates over, these peak emission levels were obtained by reducing the frequency span of the analyser at the frequency which maximum level can be found. 11) see test report. 12) see test report.

Description Of EUT The equipment under test is a ground probing radar that radiates downwards to detect and map the position of buried pipes and cables. It radiates a pulse, which is only normally triggered by the forward motion of the devices; the operator pushes it forwards or backwards. The device is offered with two antennas. Both types have a dedicated pulse generator acting as the transmitter. The Co-Polar Antenna provides greater depth penetration into the ground. The Cross-Polar design provides greater resolution at shallower depths. RADIO FREQUENCY INVESTIGATION LTD.
