RF Exposure Info

COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 6RT128 01 11 Jun 2007Page 1 of 2 Subject: Base Station Radio and Outstation RF Radiation Exposure Levels Date: 11 Jun 2007 Document ref: 6RT128 01 1 Summary This document outlines RF radiation exposure level calculations for the AMPY base station radio and outstation. Levels are specified as a power density. Limits are those defined in FCC § 1.1310 Radiofrequency radiation exposure limits. In summary, for both the base station radio and the outstation, the RF radiation exposure levels at a distance of 20 cm are below the specified FCC limits. 2 FCC § 1.1310 Limits 2.1 Limits for Occupational/Controlled Exposures This is appropriate for the base station radio since it is deployed by trained personnel in areas that the general public do not have access to. Limit: 300 lim f PD= mW/cm 2 , where f is the frequency in MHz. At 902 MHz, the limit is 3.007 mW/cm 2 . 2.2 Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure This is appropriate for the outstation since it is typically deployed on the side of residential property. Limit: 1500 lim f PD= mW/cm 2 , where f is the frequency in MHz. At 902 MHz, the limit is 0.601 mW/cm 2 . COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 6RT128 01 11 Jun 2007Page 2 of 2 3 RF Radiated Exposure Calculations 3.1 Power Density Expression The power density, PD, at a range R from the transmitter with an effective isotropic radiated power EIRP, is given by: 2 4R EIRP PD π =. To calculate the closest range at which the power density reaches the FCC limits, the following expression is used. lim 4PD EIRP R π = . 3.2 Base Station Radio 3.2.1 Power Density at 20 cm A worst case EIRP of 4 W is assumed for the base station radio. At 20 cm, the power density is 0.796 mW/cm 2 , which is below the FCC limit of 3.007 mW/cm 2 . 3.2.2 Closest Range Assuming a worst case EIRP of 4 W, the power density meets the FCC limit at a range of 10.3 cm. 3.3 Outstation 3.3.1 Power Density at 20 cm A worst case EIRP of 100 mW is assumed for the outstation. At 20 cm, the power density is 0.020 mW/cm 2 , which is below the FCC limit of 0.601 mW/cm 2 . 3.3.2 Closest Range Assuming a worst case EIRP of 100 mW, the power density meets the FCC limit at a range of 3.6 cm.

The output power of the transmitter was reduced by 0.7dB by adjusting the DPL variable in the transmitter signal processing software to a value of 400. This reduced the level of the spur such that the EUT passed the test. This letter is to declare that this change will be implemented in all equipment which bears this FCC ID number.
