NORTHWEST EMC, INC. 22975 NW Evergreen Parkway, Suite 400 Hillsboro, OR 97124 May 17, 2006 Dear Application Examiner: On behalf of Tripod Data Systems Inc, Northwest EMC Inc is submitting this application for the original certification of Tripod's 802.11(b)/(g) - Bluetooth transmitter combo, FCC ID: S9E-RNGRBTWFR. Tripod is seeking limited modular approval for the combo radio. It operates in the 2400-2483.5MHz band with a peak output power of 24.6mW for 802.11(b)/(g) or 1.92mW for Bluetooth. The radio, M/N: WMBGMR01, is part of a ruggedized hand held computer, the Ranger X series. The Ranger X may also contain a previously certified Cirronet radio, FCC ID: S9E -RNGR2410. The Ranger X can operate via battery power or connected to the AC Main s via an AC/DC Adapter. The radio utilizes two internal chip antennas, one for each type of transmission. The antennas are manufactured by Antenna Factor, P/N: ANT-2.45-CHP. The maximum gain for this antenna is +0.5dBi. This configuration satisfies the requirements of 47 CFR 15.203. The receiver portion of this radio transceiver has been verified to FCC 15B. The technical reports and exhibits demonstrate compliance with FCC rules 47 CFR 15.247. For reference, please see the third example (highlighted) in the attached FCC interpretation for the Bluetooth hybrid radio portion of testing. Your efforts in reviewing this application are greatly appreciated. Best regards, Northwest EMC, Inc. Company: Subject:Digital Transmission system 20021209- 001  Remarks: Keyword:BlueTooth FH HS Rule Parts:15.247 City: State: Country: INQUIRY: I have an inquiry about FCC15.247 (f). In this section, it is stated as follows; The digital modulation operation of the hybrid system, with the frequency hopping turned off, shall comply with the power density requirements of paragraph (d) of this section. Should we apply to the above requirement even Bluetooth equipment ? RESPONSE: A bluetooth device may apply under the rules in 15.247 as either a Digital transmission system, a Frequency hopping system or a Hybrid system whichever provides an advantage to the grantee as long as all the requirements are met. Please note the following regarding the requirements for Hybrids and clarification of spread spectrum systems with regard to the recent changes to the spread spectrum rules. Prior to the recent changes to the spread spectrum rules, there were two major types of spread spectrum systems. They were direct sequence and frequency hopping spread spectrum ("FHSS") systems. These two distinct systems were required to comply with separate rule requirements. The new rules, however, allow manufacturers more flexibility and are not as limiting. The new rules provide more flexibility for manufacturers by eliminating the requirement to employ direct sequence modulation techniques along with its associated requirement to comply with a minimum processing gain. Instead, manufacturers now may employ wideband digital modulation under the new rules for Digital Transmissions Systems ("DTS"). It is possible for a device to be designed to operate as a DTS, as a FHSS system, or using a combination of these two modulation types. Because of this, we have received several requests for interpretations by manufacturers that wish to produce transmission systems that employ both frequency hopping (or channel changing) techniques using digitally modulated channels. We believe that such systems fall under three possible combinations of standards, depending on the exact methods of modulation. First example: We will allow a manufacturer of a combination DTS and FHSS system to demonstrate compliance with the rules required for DTS operation or for FHSS operation. There is no need to demonstrate compliance with both the FHSS standards and the DTS standards. Second example: Systems may employ two mutually exclusive operational modes. One mode would be as a FHSS system and the other would be as a DTS. For example, a device may be operated as a FHSS system while transmitting data and as a DTS while in the acquisition mode. When operating in this manner, the device must fully comply with the rules for a FHSS system when operating in that mode and as a DTS when operating in that mode. The two types of operation must be distinct so that each mode of operation can be distinguished and separately demonstrated to comply with the pertinent standards. Third example: The third method of authorizing a combination system is as a hybrid system under the provisions described in Section 15.247(f) of the rules. Prior to the new rules on DTS operation, a hybrid system consisted of a transmission system that employed a combination of both direct sequence and frequency hopping techniques. Such systems were required to show compliance with a 17 dB processing gain. This is no longer required since the processing gain requirement has been replaced by the DTS regulations. A hybrid system uses both digital modulation and frequency hopping techniques at the same time on the same carrier. This is similar to the combination DTS/FHSS system described above in the first example but the system is subject to slightly different standards. As indicated in Section 15.247(f), a hybrid system must comply with the power density standard of 8 dBm in any 3 kHz band when the frequency hopping function is turned off. The transmission also must comply with a 0.4 second/channel maximum dwell time when the hopping function is turned on. There is no requirement for this type of hybrid system to comply with the 500 kHz minimum bandwidth normally associated with a DTS transmission; and, there is no minimum number of hopping channels associated with this type of hybrid system. However, the hopping function must be a true hopping system, as described in Section 15.247(a)(1). The specific requirements in Section 15.247(a)(1) are: 1) A minimum channel separation. 2) Pseudorandom hop sequence. 3) Equal use of each frequency. 4) Receiver matching bandwidth and S…

It is ideal for all 2.4GHz applications including Bluetooth, 802.11, Home RF, ZigBee and other popular standards. The antenna uses advanced Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology and a proprietary element to achieve superior size and performance characteristics. The tiny SMD package measures a mere 6.5mm (L) x 2.2mm (W) x 1.0mm (H) and is compatible with hand- and reflow-assembly. Favorable electrical specifications, stability, and outstanding cost-effectiveness make it the logical choice for a wide variety of applications.

To avoid damage to the part, the reflow/solder guidelines found below should be carefully followed. The antenna is single ended meaning that one pad is electrically connected while the other is for mechanical support only. The antenna terminals are not interchangeable so polarity must be observed during assembly. Hand Soldering This antenna is designed for high-volume automated assembly, however, it may be successfully attached by hand assembly techniques. A hand-solder temperature of 225° or lower should be used. Do not exceed a 10 sec. heating time. Reflow Temperature Profile The single most critical stage in the automated assembly process is the reflow process. The reflow profile below should be closely followed since excessive temperatures or transport times during reflow will irreparably damage the antennas. Assembly personnel will need to pay careful attention to the oven's profile to ensure that it meets the requirements necessary to successfully reflow all components while still meeting the limits mandated by the antennas themselves. Absolute Maximum Solder Times Hand-Solder Temp. TX +225°C for 10 Sec. Hand-Solder Temp. RX +225°C for 10 Sec. Recommended Solder Melting Point +180°C Reflow Oven: +220°C Max. (See adjoining diagram) Page 4 LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS The antenna’s wide bandwidth and good stability allow it to perform well and accommodate differing layout requirements. Despite this, proper layout is vital to ensure correct operation. Improper placement of planes, traces or system components will result in nulls or complete detuning. Failure by the designer to respect and account for these requirements will result in unsatisfactory performance. Ideally the antenna will be mounted on the board in such a way as to allow an unobstructed field of view. The area under the backside of the antenna must be free of components, traces, and planes. Components may be placed to the rear of the antenna in the ground plane counterpoise area. The feed trace from the RF stage to the antenna must be a microstrip trace or coax transmission line and should be kept as short as practical. Two sample layouts and their associated data are illustrated on the following pages. They are intended to be representative and it is not necessary to follow them precisely. They do however, exhibit layout techniques and the differences that occur with differing size PCB’s and layouts. After your own layout is complete the performance of the antenna in your specific product should be carefully checked using tools like a network analyzer. In some cases the size of the product’s PCB, proximity of the case or other factors may make a custom version of the antenna necessary. You may contact Antenna Factor for more information.
