5. RF Exposure Limits
5.1 Uncontrolled Environment
Uncontrolled Environments are defined as locations where there is the exposure of individuals who have no knowledge or
control of their exposure. The general population/uncontrolled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the
general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be
made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Members of the general
public would come under this category when exposure is not employment-related; for example, in the case of a wireless
transmitter that exposes persons in its vicinity.


5.2 Controlled Environment
Controlled Environments are defined as locations where there is exposure that may be incurred by persons who are
aware of the potential for exposure, (i.e. as a result of employment or occupation). In general, occupational/controlled
exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, who
have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. The exposure
category is also applicable when the exposure is of a transient nature due to incidental passage through a location where
the exposure levels may be higher than the general population/uncontrolled limits, but the exposed person is fully aware
of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other
appropriate means.

                         Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure (W/kg)




     1.   Whole-Body SAR is averaged over the entire body, partial-body SAR is averaged over any 1gram of tissue
          defined as a tissue volume in the shape of a cube. SAR for hands, wrists, feet and ankles is averaged over any
          10 grams of tissue defined as a tissue volume in the shape of a cube.

6. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
6.1 Introduction
    SAR is related to the rate at which energy is absorbed per unit mass in an object exposed to a radio field. The SAR
    distribution in a biological body is complicated and is usually carried out by experimental techniques or numerical
    modeling. The standard recommends limits for two tiers of groups, occupational/controlled and general
    population/uncontrolled, based on a person’s awareness and ability to exercise control over his or her exposure. In
    general, occupational/controlled exposure limits are higher than the limits for general population/uncontrolled.


6.2 SAR Definition
    The SAR definition is the time derivative (rate) of the incremental energy (dW) absorbed by (dissipated in) an
    incremental mass (dm) contained in a volume element (dv) of a given density (ρ). The equation description is as
    below:
                                                        𝐝 𝐝𝐖    𝐝 𝐝𝐖

    SAR is expressed in units of Watts per kilogram (W/kg)

                                                              𝛔|𝐄|𝟐

7. System Description and Setup
The DASY system used for performing compliance tests consists of the following items:




     A standard high precision 6-axis robot with controller, teach pendant and software. An arm extension for
      accommodating the data acquisition electronics (DAE).
     An isotropic Field probe optimized and calibrated for the targeted measurement.
     A data acquisition electronics (DAE) which performs the signal amplification, signal multiplexing,
      AD-conversion, offset measurements, mechanical surface detection, collision detection, etc. The unit is
      battery powered with standard or rechargeable batteries. The signal is optically transmitted to the EOC.
     The Electro-optical converter (EOC) performs the conversion from optical to electrical signals for the
      digital communication to the DAE. To use optical surface detection, a special version of the EOC is
      required. The EOC signal is transmitted to the measurement server.
     The function of the measurement server is to perform the time critical tasks such as signal filtering,
      control of the robot operation and fast movement interrupts.
     The Light Beam used is for probe alignment. This improves the (absolute) accuracy of the probe
      positioning.
     A computer running WinXP or Win7 and the DASY5 software.
     Remote control and teach pendant as well as additional circuitry for robot safety such as warning lamps,
      etc.
     The phantom, the device holder and other accessories according to the targeted measurement.

8. Measurement Procedures
   The measurement procedures are as follows:

   <Conducted power measurement>
   (a) For WWAN power measurement, use base station simulator to configure EUT WWAN transmission in conducted
       connection with RF cable, at maximum power in each supported wireless interface and frequency band.
   (b) Read the WWAN RF power level from the base station simulator.
   (c) For WLAN/BT power measurement, use engineering software to configure EUT WLAN/BT continuously
       transmission, at maximum RF power in each supported wireless interface and frequency band
   (d) Connect EUT RF port through RF cable to the power meter, and measure WLAN/BT output power

   <SAR measurement>
   (a) Use base station simulator to configure EUT WWAN transmission in radiated connection, and engineering
       software to configure EUT WLAN/BT continuously transmission, at maximum RF power, in the highest power
       channel.
   (b) Place the EUT in the positions as Appendix D demonstrates.
   (c) Set scan area, grid size and other setting on the DASY software.
   (d) Measure SAR results for the highest power channel on each testing position.
   (e) Find out the largest SAR result on these testing positions of each band
   (f) Measure SAR results for other channels in worst SAR testing position if the reported SAR of highest power
       channel is larger than 0.8 W/kg

         According to the test standard, the recommended procedure for assessing the peak spatial-average SAR value
         consists of the following steps:
   (a)     Power reference measurement
   (b)     Area scan
   (c)     Zoom scan
   (d)     Power drift measurement


8.1 Spatial Peak SAR Evaluation
     The procedure for spatial peak SAR evaluation has been implemented according to the test standard. It can be
     conducted for 1g and 10g, as well as for user-specific masses. The DASY software includes all numerical
     procedures necessary to evaluate the spatial peak SAR value.
     The base for the evaluation is a "cube" measurement. The measured volume must include the 1g and 10g cubes
     with the highest averaged SAR values. For that purpose, the center of the measured volume is aligned to the
     interpolated peak SAR value of a previously performed area scan.
     The entire evaluation of the spatial peak values is performed within the post-processing engine (SEMCAD). The
     system always gives the maximum values for the 1g and 10g cubes. The algorithm to find the cube with highest
     averaged SAR is divided into the following stages:
     (a)    Extraction of the measured data (grid and values) from the Zoom Scan
     (b)    Calculation of the SAR value at every measurement point based on all stored data (A/D values and
            measurement parameters)
     (c)    Generation of a high-resolution mesh within the measured volume
     (d)    Interpolation of all measured values form the measurement grid to the high-resolution grid
     (e)    Extrapolation of the entire 3-D field distribution to the phantom surface over the distance from sensor to surface
     (f)    Calculation of the averaged SAR within masses of 1g and 10g

8.2 Power Reference Measurement
The Power Reference Measurement and Power Drift Measurements are for monitoring the power drift of the device under
test in the batch process. The minimum distance of probe sensors to surface determines the closest measurement point
to phantom surface. This distance cannot be smaller than the distance of sensor calibration points to probe tip as defined
in the probe properties.


8.3 Area Scan
The area scan is used as a fast scan in two dimensions to find the area of high field values, before doing a fine
measurement around the hot spot. The sophisticated interpolation routines implemented in DASY software can find the
maximum found in the scanned area, within a range of the global maximum. The range (in dB0 is specified in the
standards for compliance testing. For example, a 2 dB range is required in IEEE standard 1528 and IEC 62209 standards,
whereby 3 dB is a requirement when compliance is assessed in accordance with the ARIB standard (Japan), if only one
zoom scan follows the area scan, then only the absolute maximum will be taken as reference. For cases where multiple
maximums are detected, the number of zoom scans has to be increased accordingly.

8.4 Zoom Scan
Zoom scans are used assess the peak spatial SAR values within a cubic averaging volume containing 1 gram and 10
gram of simulated tissue. The zoom scan measures points (refer to table below) within a cube shoes base faces are
centered on the maxima found in a preceding area scan job within the same procedure. When the measurement is done,
the zoom scan evaluates the averaged SAR for 1 gram and 10 gram and displays these values next to the job’s label.
Zoom scan parameters extracted from FCC KDB 865664 D01v01r04 SAR measurement 100 MHz to 6 GHz.




8.5 Volume Scan Procedures
The volume scan is used for assess overlapping SAR distributions for antennas transmitting in different frequency bands.
It is equivalent to an oversized zoom scan used in standalone measurements. The measurement volume will be used to
enclose all the simultaneous transmitting antennas. For antennas transmitting simultaneously in different frequency bands,
the volume scan is measured separately in each frequency band. In order to sum correctly to compute the 1g aggregate
SAR, the EUT remain in the same test position for all measurements and all volume scan use the same spatial resolution
and grid spacing. When all volume scan were completed, the software, SEMCAD postprocessor can combine and
subsequently superpose these measurement data to calculating the multiband SAR.

8.6 Power Drift Monitoring
All SAR testing is under the EUT install full charged battery and transmit maximum output power. In DASY measurement
software, the power reference measurement and power drift measurement procedures are used for monitoring the power
drift of EUT during SAR test. Both these procedures measure the field at a specified reference position before and after
the SAR testing. The software will calculate the field difference in dB. If the power drifts more than 5%, the SAR will be
retested.

          FCC SAR Test Report                                                                       Report No. : FA7D0542B
11. Conducted RF Output Power (Unit: dBm)
<WLAN Conducted Power>
General Note:
1.  Per KDB 248227 D01v02r02, SAR test reduction is determined according to 802.11 transmission mode
    configurations and certain exposure conditions with multiple test positions. In the 2.4 GHz band, separate SAR
    procedures are applied to DSSS and OFDM configurations to simplify DSSS test requirements. For OFDM, in both
    2.4 and 5 GHz bands, an initial test configuration must be determined for each standalone and aggregated
    frequency band, according to the transmission mode configuration with the highest maximum output power
    specified for production units to perform SAR measurements. If the same highest maximum output power applies to
    different combinations of channel bandwidths, modulations and data rates, additional procedures are applied to
    determine which test configurations require SAR measurement. When applicable, an initial test position may be
    applied to reduce the number of SAR measurements required for next to the ear, UMPC mini-tablet or hotspot mode
    configurations with multiple test positions.
2.  For 2.4 GHz 802.11b DSSS, either the initial test position procedure for multiple exposure test positions or the
    DSSS procedure for fixed exposure position is applied; these are mutually exclusive. For 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz OFDM
    configurations, the initial test configuration is applied to measure SAR using either the initial test position procedure
    for multiple exposure test position configurations or the initial test configuration procedures for fixed exposure test
    conditions. Based on the reported SAR of the measured configurations and maximum output power of the
    transmission mode configurations that are not included in the initial test configuration, the subsequent test
    configuration and initial test position procedures are applied to determine if SAR measurements are required for the
    remaining OFDM transmission configurations. In general, the number of test channels that require SAR
    measurement is minimized based on maximum output power measured for the test sample(s).
3.  For OFDM transmission configurations in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, When the same maximum power is
    specified for multiple transmission modes in a frequency band, the largest channel bandwidth, lowest order
    modulation, lowest data rate and lowest order 802.11a/g/n/ac mode is used for SAR measurement, on the highest
    measured output power channel for each frequency band.
4.  DSSS and OFDM configurations are considered separately according to the required SAR procedures. SAR is
    measured in the initial test position using the 802.11 transmission mode configuration required by the DSSS
    procedure or initial test configuration and subsequent test configuration(s) according to the OFDM procedures.18
    The initial test position procedure is described in the following:
    a. When the reported SAR of the initial test position is ≤ 0.4 W/kg, further SAR measurement is not required for
         the other test positions in that exposure configuration and 802.11 transmission mode combinations within the
         frequency band or aggregated band.
    b. When the reported SAR of the test position is > 0.4 W/kg, SAR is repeated for the 802.11 transmission mode
         configuration tested in the initial test position to measure the subsequent next closet/smallest test separation
         distance and maximum coupling test position on the highest maximum output power channel, until the report
         SAR is ≤ 0.8 W/kg or all required test position are tested.
    c. For all positions/configurations, when the reported SAR is > 0.8 W/kg, SAR is measured for these test
         positions/configurations on the subsequent next highest measured output power channel(s) until the reported
         SAR is ≤ 1.2 W/kg or all required channels are tested.

  12. SAR Test Results
  General Note:
  1. Per KDB 447498 DO1v06, the reported SAR is the measured SAR value adjusted for maximum tune—up tolerance.
     a. Tune—up scaling Factor = tune—up limit power (mW) / EUT RF power (mW), where tune—up limit is the maximum rated
         power among all production units.
     b. For SAR testing of WLAN signal with non—100% duty cycle, the measured SAR is scaled—up by the duty cycle scaling
         factor which is equal to "1/(duty cycle)"
     c.. For WLAN : Reported SAR(W/kg)= Measured SAR(W/kg)* Duty Cycle scaling factor * Tune—up scaling factor
     d. For Bluetooth : Reported SAR(W/kg)= Measured SAR(W/kg)*Tune—up scaling factor
      Per KDB 447498 DO1v06, for each exposure position, testing of other required channels within the operating mode of a
      frequency band is not required when the reported 1—g or 10—g SAR for the mid—band or highest output power channel is:
       >    <0.8 Wikg or 2.0 Wikg, for 1—g or 10—g respectively, when the transmission band is S 100 MHz
       >    <0.6 Wikg or 1.5 Wikg, for 1—g or 10—g respectively, when the transmission band is between 100 MHz and 200 MHz
       >    <0.4 Wikg or 1.0 Wikg, for 1—g or 10—g respectively, when the transmission band is > 200 MHz
      Per KDB 865664 DO1v01r04, for each frequency band, repeated SAR measurement is required only when the measured
      SAR is 20.8W/kq.
      For SAR tested was used an external antenna and connected to a module to perform on Front / Back / Top / Bottom / Right /
      Left positions of antenna and tests separation is Smm, the test setup photo please referred to appendix D.
      The transmitter was controlled by a representative host with the actual firmware, software drivers and other associated
      device operating software required for testing the wireless technologies.
      For implementations that an antenna be connected to the transmitter through RF cable(s), the antenna assembly, which is
      typically the standalone antenna, and be tested independenitly for SAR. The same type of antenna cable specified in the
      installation requirements be used to connect the antenna to the transmitter for testing. The shortest antenna cable be used
      in the SAR tests, with the antenna located at least 10 cm away from the host computer or equivalent testing platform and
      other supporting equipment in the SAR measurement setup.
      The antenna was mounted on lossless foam material for SAR testing to qualify for installation in hosts with low—loss
      materials near the antenna.
      The highest reported 1—g SAR is = 0.4 Wikg, modules and peripheral transmitters can be approved to operate in qualified
      host and portable device exposure conditions with no restriction for most host platform configurations.


  WLAN Note:
  1. Per KDB 248227 DO1v02r02, for 2.4GHz 802.11g/n SAR testing is not required when the highest reported SAR for DSSS is
      adjusted by the ratio of OFDM to DSSS specified maximum output power and the adjusted SAR is < 1.2 Wikg.
      When the reported SAR of the test position is > 0.4 W/kg, SAR is repeated for the 802.11 transmission mode configuration
      tested in the initial test position to measure the subsequent next closet/smallest test separation distance and maximum
      coupling test position on the highest maximum output power channel, until the report SAR is < 0.8 W/kg or all required test
      position are tested.
      For all positions / configurations, when the reported SAR is > 0.8 W/kg, SAR is measured for these test positions /
      configurations on the subsequent next highest measured output power channel(s) until the reported SAR is < 1.2 W/kg or all
      required channels are tested.
      During SAR testing the WLAN transmission was verified using a spectrum analyzer.

  Note:
  1.   Pre KDB447498 DO01v06, The probe tip distance to the phantom should be positioned at a distance of half the probe
       tip diameter, rounded to the nearest mm.
       Pre KDB447498 DO01v06, The test device is initially positioned in direct contact with the phantom and subsequently
       moved away from the phantom in 5 mm increment when there is more than 15% variation in the single—point
       measurements at each position, more measurements are required to ensure a representative high range value is
       recorded. The highest of the single—point SAR values, adjusted for tune—up tolerance, should be reported for each
       position. When the highest measured single point SAR among all positions is 25% greater than that measured with
       the device positioned at Initial from the phantom, a complete 1—g SAR evaluation is required for that test configuration
       at the device position producing the highest single—point SAR until the measured SAR is > 50% of that measured with
       the device in contact with the phantom.
       The following experiment chose 2.4GHz WLAN to representative.

14. Uncertainty Assessment
    Pre KDB 865664 D01 SAR measurement 100MHz to 6GHz, when the highest measured 1-g SAR within a frequency
    band is < 1.5 W/kg and the measured 10-g SAR within a frequency band is < 3.75 W/kg. The expanded SAR
    measurement uncertainty must be ≤ 30%, for a confidence interval of k = 2. If these conditions are met, extensive
    SAR measurement uncertainty analysis described in IEEE Std 1528-2013 is not required in SAR reports submitted
    for equipment approval. For this device, the highest measured 1-g SAR is less 1.5W/kg. Therefore, the measurement
    uncertainty table is not required in this report.
