[7600 N. Capital of Texas Hwy] [Building C] [Suite 200] [Austin, TX 78731] ph [512-345-4200] fx [512-345-4201] p. 1/2 July 17, 2012 Chief, Authorizations Branch Federal Communications Commission 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 Subject: Request for unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval: U9YHS6618A. Reference: FCC 07-56A1 47 CFR 15.212 To Whom It May Concern: Alereon, Inc. hereby requests FCC Equipment Authorization as a Singular Modular Transmitter of the Alereon, Inc. Model HS6618A UWB Dongle, FCC ID: U9YHS6618A. Alereon, Inc. intends to manufacture this device and market it under several brand names and brand I.D.s as a computer modular component. This letter addresses the information required by points one through eight of 47 CFR 15.212. 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. All shielding necessary for normal operation is accomplished by the multi-layer construction of the printed wiring board which incorporates multiple ground layers in its construction. As this transmitter is designed to operate stand-alone in its own enclosure, connected to an industry-standard USB 2.0 interface, no additional shielding is incorporated to minimize coupling such as may occur if the module were incorporated into another unit. 2. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs. The Alereon HS6618A receives data via the industry-standard USB 2.0 interface. This USB interface is implemented within the AL6301 integrated circuit as may be seen on sheet two of the schematic diagram included in the filing for FCC Equipment Authorization. The USB interface limits the data rate to those defined by the USB standard. 3. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. The Alereon HS6618A receives power from the host system via the USB 2.0 interface. The +5.0 Volt source from the host system is regulated on the module to power a +3.3V domain and the main +1.2V digital subsystem domain. The +3.3V domain is also regulated on the module to produce two additional power domains required by the module circuitry; +2.4V and +1.2V. The power regulation topology may be seen on sheet five of the schematic diagram included in the filing for FCC Equipment Authorization. 4. The modular transmitter antenna must comply with the antenna and transmission system requirements of sections 15.203, 15.204(b) and 15.204(c). The antenna of the HS6618A is microstrip patch type BWT design UWBH-002. The antenna is etched onto the HS6618A PCB and it is entirely within the product housing and connects to the AL5100 RF transceiver device on the PCB, this connection is entirely within the plastic enclosure. The antenna is not removable by the user. The compliance test report [7600 N. Capital of Texas Hwy] [Building C] [Suite 200] [Austin, TX 78731] ph [512-345-4200] fx [512-345-4201] p. 2/2 contains data taken with this antenna type demonstrating compliance with FCC requirements. 5. The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration. As described in the test report included in the filing for FCC Equipment Authorization, the HS6618A UWB Module plus antenna was tested without a plastic housing, connected to the USB port of a P.C. as it is intended to operate. The HS6618A is designed with an industry standard USB 2.0 Type-A connector as its electrical and mechanical interface to the host system. This connector defines the deployment of the module which is intended to be directly connected to the host system via the USB interface. 6. The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number. The Alereon HS6618A is intended to be placed within a plastic enclosure unique to the brand I.D. under which it is being marketed. The prescribed label with the FCC Identifier will be applied to the outside of the housing. An example of the label which will be used is included in the filing for FCC Equipment Authorization. 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter. Part 15.519 of the FCC rules and Regulations requires that a UWB transmitter shall transmit only when it is sending information to an associated receiver. That rules part also requires that the UWB intentional radiator shall cease transmission within 10 seconds unless it receives an acknowledgement from the associated receiver that its transmission is being received. An acknowledgment of reception must continue to be received by the UWB intentional radiator at least every 10 seconds or the UWB device must cease transmitting. This requirement is met by design and is implemented by the firmware encoded into the device. 8. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements in its final configuration. There are no RF exposure requirements for UWB devices operating under subpart F of the FCC Rules and Regulations. David M. Dickson Sr. Principal Engineer Alereon, Inc.

Alereon Confidential Page 1 7/17/2012 Theory of operation; Alereon HS6618A USB Dongle. 1.0 Discussion of the Functional Architecture and chipset Functions. The Alereon HS6618A is a UWB radio device with a USB interface to the host computer. This device is intended to provide a short-range wireless USB connection for computers and peripheral units equipped with a USB 2.0 3 interface. The HS6618A is powered entirely from the USB connector of the host system to which it is attached. The HS6618A operates in the frequency band defined in the FCC rules and Regulations for UWB devices. Specifically, it operates between the frequencies of 3.168 and 8.976 GHz per the industry-defined WiMedia 1.1 specification 1 . The HS6618A is comprised of two integrated circuit devices and supporting circuitry for firmware, filtering, interface and power conditioning. The HS6618A has a permanently attached antenna internal to the product housing. The schematic diagram shows a connector, Murata MM8030- 2600RK0, in the RF path. This connector, is not accessible from outside of the unit housing, it is used for factory test of the devices during production. Following the factory test connector is a Diplexer type bandpass filter having two sections; The LB section has a passband from 3.1 GHz to 4.752 GHz, the HB section has a passband from 6.336GHz to 8.976GHz. This filter provides suppression of unwanted out of band transmitter emissions and receiver interference rejection in the 2.4 GHz and 5.1 GHz bands. The AL5100 RF Transceiver generates the system reference frequency from a 44 MHz crystal resonator. The 44 MHz reference frequency is multiplied to 16.896 GHz internally in the AL5100 by a PLL multiplier. From this frequency the local oscillator frequencies for band frequencies for both transmit and receive modes are derived internally within the AL5100 by direct synthesis. The local oscillator frequencies are as listed as Fmid per the following table. Figure 1. L.O. Frequency Table In addition to the band frequencies, a 1056 MHz clock for ADCs and DACs within the AL6301 Baseband Processor/MAC is generated by the AL5100 RF Transceiver. The interface between the AL5100 RF Transceiver and the AL6301 Baseband Processor/MAC consists of the analog RX-I and –Q signals and the analog TX–I and –Q signals all of which are baseband, having 2 MHz to 264 MHz frequency band. The interface also includes a 1056 MHz Alereon Confidential Page 2 7/17/2012 clock signal and CMOS logic-level control signals which are used by the MAC within the AL6301 to control the band frequency and mode of operation; TX, RX or Idle (TX and TX powered-down). The AL6301 design is based on the WiMedia MAC-PHY Interface Specification 2.0 2 . The AL6301 implements the digital functionality for the UWB radio consisting of the following functions: RX Baseband Signal ADC. Receive digital signal Processing. Data Encryption and Decryption. Transmit Digital Signal Processing. TX Baseband Signal DAC. Digital interface to AL5100 for control. ARM processor implementation of the MAC. USB 2.0 PHY, interface to host system. The AL6301 and its associated firmware memory, and power filtering and conditioning circuits perform no function other than support of the UWB radio function. Among the radio support functions, the AL6301 MAC implements the FCC-required function of verifying that transmissions are acknowledged by the device-side unit at 10 second intervals for the entire time that the UWB link is active. If the 10-second timeout test fails, the AL6301 MAC firmware embedded within the AL6301 will cause transmissions to cease. 2.0 Discussion of Channelization. The HS6618A implements the spectrum and channelization plan described by the WiMedia specification 1.1. While the basic AL5100 / AL6301 chipset is capable of implementing a UWB radio capable of operation on every WiMedia defined band group and channel, operation of the HS6618A is limited to those WiMedia channels which are implemented within band group 1 (3.168 – 4,752 GHz), band group 3 (6.336 – 7.920 GHZ) and band group 6 (7.392 – 8.976 GHz).

Band Group Frequency Table Alereon Confidential Page 3 7/17/2012 Band group 2 (4.752 – 6.336 GHz) is not used because this band group coincides with IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN operations. Concerns about mutual interference between radios co-located within the same host system have driven this consideration. The upper three sub bands of the WiMedia spectrum plan (8.976 – 10.560 GHz) which are a portion of band group 4 and band group 5 are not implemented due to technology limitations in the filter and antennas. Within the implemented band groups, channels are enabled or disabled according to the regulatory domain for which the specific device is intended. The enabled channels are set by a channel map table embedded within the firmware of the MAC. This table is programmed with the enabled channels during manufacture by the Alereon factory test station software at the same time that the device firmware image is loaded. The channel map is not accessible to the end user. The interface between the HS6618A USB dongle and the host system is via the industry-defined USB 2.0. The HS6621 is powered by 5.0V DC from the host system. Power conditioners on the HS6621 generate the various voltages required by the integrated circuits. References. 1.
