2. REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLIANCE TESTING DEFINED BY THE FCC
  The US Federal Communications Commission has released the report and order “Guidelines for
  Evaluating the Environmental Effects of RF Radiation", ET Docket No. 93-62 in August 1996 [1].
  The order requires routine SAR evaluation prior to equipment authorization of portable transmitter
  devices, including portable telephones. For consumer products, the applicable limit is 1.6 mW/g for
  an uncontrolled environment and 8.0 mW/g for an occupational/controlled environment as
  recommended by the ANSI/IEEE standard C95.1-1992 [6]. According to the Supplement C of OET
  Bulletin 65 “Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guide-lines for Human Exposure to Radio frequency
  Electromagnetic Fields", released on Jun 29, 2001 by the FCC, the device should be evaluated at
  maximum output power (radiated from the antenna) under “worst-case” conditions for normal or
  intended use, incorporating normal antenna operating positions, device peak performance frequencies
  and positions for maximum RF energy coupling.
3. DOSIMETRIC ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
  These measurements were performed with the automated near-field scanning system DASY4 from
  Schmid & Partner Engineering AG (SPEAG). The system is based on a high precision robot
  (working range greater than 0.9 m) which positions the probes with a positional repeatability of better
  than ± 0.02 mm. Special E- and H-field probes have been developed for measurements close to
  material discontinuity, the sensors of which are directly loaded with a Schottky diode and connected
  via highly resistive lines to the data acquisition unit. The SAR measurements were conducted with
  the dosimetric probe EX3DV4-SN 3552 (manufactured by SPEAG), designed in the classical
  triangular configuration and optimized for dosimetric evaluation. The probe has been calibrated
  according to the procedure with accuracy of better than ±10%. The spherical isotropy was evaluated
  with the procedure and found to be better than ±0.25 dB. The phantom used was the SAM Twin
  Phantom as described in FCC supplement C, IEEE P1528 and EN50361.

              Report No: 51014106-SF                                          Date of Issue: October 20, 2005



3.1 MEASUREMENT SYSTEM DIAGRAM




     The DASY4 system for performing compliance tests consists of the following items:
     • A standard high precision 6-axis robot (St¨aubli RX family) with controller, teach pendant and
         software. An arm extension for accommodating the data acquisition electronics (DAE).
     • A dosimetric probe, i.e., an isotropic E-field probe optimized and calibrated for usage in tissue
         simulating liquid. The probe is equipped with an optical surface detector system.
     • 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 between optical and electrical of the
         signals for the digital communication to the DAE and for the analog signal from the optical surface
         detection. The EOC is connected 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.
     • A probe alignment unit which improves the (absolute) accuracy of the probe positioning.
     • A computer operating Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
     • DASY4 software.
     • Remote control with teach pendant and additional circuitry for robot safety such as warning lamps,
         etc.
     • The SAM twin phantom enabling testing left-hand and right-hand usage.
     • The device holder for handheld mobile phones.
     • Tissue simulating liquid mixed according to the given recipes.
     • Validation dipole kits allowing validating the proper functioning of the system.

3.2 SYSTEM COMPONENTS

DASY4 Measurement Server
                                    The DASY4 measurement server is based on a PC/104 CPU board with a
                                    166MHz low-power Pentium, 32MB chip disk and 64MB RAM. The
                                    necessary circuits for communication with either the DAE3 electronic box
                                    as well as the 16-bit AD-converter system for optical detection and digital
                                    I/O interface are contained on the DASY4 I/O-board, which is directly
                                    connected to the PC/104 bus of the CPU board.
                                    The measurement server performs all real-time data evaluation for field
                                    measurements and surface detection, controls robot movements and handles
                                    safety operation.
The PC-operating system cannot interfere with these time critical processes. All connections are supervised by a
watchdog, and disconnection of any of the cables to the measurement server will automatically disarm the robot
and disable all program-controlled robot movements. Furthermore, the measurement server is equipped with
two expansion slots which are reserved for future applications. Please note that the expansion slots do not have a
standardized pinout and therefore only the expansion cards provided by SPEAG can be inserted. Expansion
cards from any other supplier could seriously damage the measurement server. Calibration: No calibration
required.
Data Acquisition Electronics (DAE)
The data acquisition electronics (DAE3) consists of a highly sensitive
electrometer grade preamplifier with auto-zeroing, a channel and gain-
switching multiplexer, a fast 16 bit AD converter and a command
decoder and control logic unit. Transmission to the measurement
server is accomplished through an optical downlink for data and status
information as well as an optical uplink for commands and the clock.
The mechanical probe mounting device includes two different sensor
systems for frontal and sideways probe contacts. They are used for
mechanical surface detection and probe collision detection. The input
impedance of the DAE3 box is 200MOhm; the inputs are symmetrical
and floating. Common mode rejection is above 80 dB.

4. EVALUATION PROCEDURES

DATA EVALUATION
The DASY4 post processing software (SEMCAD) automatically executes the following procedures to calculate the
field units from the microvolt readings at the probe connector. The parameters used in the evaluation are stored in
the configuration modules of the software:
              Probe parameters:      - Sensitivity                  Normi, ai0, ai1, ai2
                                     - Conversion factor            ConvFi
                                     - Diode compression point      dcpi
              Device parameters:     - Frequency                    f
                                     - Crest factor                 cf
              Media parameters:      - Conductivity                 σ
                                     - Density                      ρ
These parameters must be set correctly in the software. They can be found in the component documents or be
imported into the software from the configuration files issued for the DASY components. In the direct measuring
mode of the multi-meter option, the parameters of the actual system setup are used. In the scan visualization and
export modes, the parameters stored in the corresponding document files are used.
The first step of the evaluation is a linearization of the filtered input signal to account for the compression
characteristics of the detector diode. The compensation depends on the input signal, the diode type and the DC-
transmission factor from the diode to the evaluation electronics. If the exciting field is pulsed, the crest factor of the
signal must be known to correctly compensate for peak power. The formula for each channel can be given as:

SAR MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
The procedure for assessing the peak spatial-average SAR value consists of the following steps:
•   Power Reference Measurement
    The reference and drift jobs are useful jobs for monitoring the power drift of the device under test in the batch
    process. Both jobs measure the field at a specified reference position, at a selectable distance from the phantom
    surface. The reference position can be either the selected section’s grid reference point or a user point in this
    section. The reference job projects the selected point onto the phantom surface, orients the probe
    perpendicularly to the surface, and approaches the surface using the selected detection method.
•   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 finer
    measurement around the hot spot. The sophisticated interpolation routines implemented in DASY4 software can
    find the maximum locations even in relatively coarse grids. The scan area is defined by an editable grid. This
    grid is anchored at the grid reference point of the selected section in the phantom. When the area scan’s
    property sheet is brought-up, grid was at to 15 mm by 15 mm and can be edited by a user.
•   Zoom Scan
    Zoom scans are used to assess the peak spatial SAR values within a cubic averaging volume containing 1 g and
    10 g of simulated tissue. The default zoom scan measures 5x5x7 points within a cube whose base faces are
    centered around the maximum found in a preceding area scan job within the same procedure. If the preceding
    Area Scan job indicates more then one maximum, the number of Zoom Scans has to be enlarged accordingly
    (The default number inserted is 1).
•   Power Drift measurement
    The drift job measures the field at the same location as the most recent reference job within the same procedure,
    and with the same settings. The drift measurement gives the field difference in dB from the reading conducted
    within the last reference measurement. Several drift measurements are possible for one reference measurement.
    This allows a user to monitor the power drift of the device under test within a batch process. In the properties
    of the Drift job, the user can specify a limit for the drift and have DASY4 software stop the measurements if
    this limit is exceeded.
•   Z-Scan
    The Z Scan job measures points along a vertical straight line. The line runs along the Z-axis of a one-
    dimensional grid. A user can anchor the grid to the current probe location. As with any other grids, the local Z-
    axis of the anchor location establishes the Z-axis of the grid.

SPATIAL PEAK SAR EVALUATION
The procedure for spatial peak SAR evaluation has been implemented according to the IEEE1528 standard. It
can be conducted for 1 g and 10 g.
The DASY4 system allows evaluations that combine measured data and robot positions, such as:
   • maximum search
   • extrapolation
   • boundary correction
   • peak search for averaged SAR
During a maximum search, global and local maximum searches are automatically performed in 2-D after each
Area Scan measurement with at least 6 measurement points. It is based on the evaluation of the local SAR
gradient calculated by the Quadratic Shepard’s method. The algorithm will find the global maximum and all
local maxima within -2 dB of the global maxima for all SAR distributions.
Extrapolation
Extrapolation routines are used to obtain SAR values between the lowest measurement points and the inner
phantom surface. The extrapolation distance is determined by the surface detection distance and the probe
sensor offset. Several measurements at different distances are necessary for the extrapolation.
Extrapolation routines require at least 10 measurement points in 3-D space. They are used in the Cube Scan to
obtain SAR values between the lowest measurement points and the inner phantom surface. The routine uses the
modified Quadratic Shepard’s method for extrapolation. For a grid using 5x5x7 measurement points with 5mm
resolution amounting to 343 measurement points, the uncertainty of the extrapolation routines is less than 1%
for 1 g and 10 g cubes.
Boundary effect
For measurements in the immediate vicinity of a phantom surface, the field coupling effects between the probe
and the boundary influence the probe characteristics. Boundary effect errors of different dosimetric probe types
have been analyzed by measurements and using a numerical probe model. As expected, both methods showed
an enhanced sensitivity in the immediate vicinity of the boundary. The effect strongly depends on the probe
dimensions and disappears with increasing distance from the boundary. The sensitivity can be approximately
given as:




Since the decay of the boundary effect dominates for small probes (a<<λ), the cos-term can be omitted. Factors
Sb (parameter Alpha in the DASY4 software) and a (parameter Delta in the DASY4 software) are assessed
during probe calibration and used for numerical compensation of the boundary effect. Several simulations and
measurements have confirmed that the compensation is valid for different field and boundary configurations.
This simple compensation procedure can largely reduce the probe uncertainty near boundaries. It works well as
long as:
   • the boundary curvature is small
   • the probe axis is angled less than 30_ to the boundary normal
   • the distance between probe and boundary is larger than 25% of the probe diameter
   • the probe is symmetric (all sensors have the same offset from the probe tip)
Since all of these requirements are fulfilled in a DASY4 system, the correction of the probe boundary effect in
the vicinity of the phantom surface is performed in a fully automated manner via the measurement data
extraction during postprocessing.

8. MEASUREMENT RESULTS
8.1 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CHECK
  The system performance check is performed prior to any usage of the system in order to guarantee reproducible
  results. The system performance check verifies that the system operates within its specifications. The system
  performance check results are tabulated below. And also the corresponding SAR plot is attached as well in the
  SAR plots files.
  SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CHECK MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS
  •     The measurements were performed in the flat section of the SAM twin phantom filled with Body
        simulating liquid of the following parameters.
  •     The DASY4 system with an E-field probe EX3DV4 SN:3552 was used for the measurements.
  •     The dipole was mounted on the small tripod so that the dipole feed point was positioned below the center
        marking of the flat phantom section and the dipole was oriented parallel to the body axis (the long side of
        the phantom). The standard measuring distance was 15 mm (below 1 GHz) and 10 mm (above 1 GHz)
        from dipole center to the simulating liquid surface.
  •     The coarse grid with a grid spacing of 10mm was aligned with the dipole.
  •     Special 5x5x7 fine cube was chosen for cube integration (dx=dy= 7.5 mm, dz= 3 mm).
  •     Distance between probe sensors and phantom surface was set to 3.0 mm.
  •     The dipole input power (forward power) was 250 mW±3%.
  •     The results are normalized to 1 W input power.
  Reference SAR values
  The reference SAR values were using measurement results indicated in the dipole calibration document (see
  table below)

8.2 TEST LIQUID CONFIRMATION
   SIMULATING LIQUIDS PARAMETER CHECK
   The simulating liquids should be checked at the beginning of a series of SAR measurements to determine of the
   dielectric parameters are within the tolerances of the specified target values
   The relative permittivity and conductivity of the tissue material should be within ± 5% of the values given in the
   table below. 5% may not be easily achieved at certain frequencies. Under such circumstances, 10% tolerance
   may be used until more precise tissue recipes are available
   IEEE SCC-34/SC-2 P1528 RECOMMENDED TISSUE DIELECTRIC PARAMETERS
   The head tissue dielectric parameters recommended by the IEEE SCC-34/SC-2 in P1528 have been
   incorporated in the following table. These head parameters are derived from planar layer models simulating the
   highest expected SAR for the dielectric properties and tissue thickness variations in a human head. Other head
   and body tissue parameters that have not been specified in P1528 are derived from the tissue dielectric
   parameters computed from the 4-Cole-Cole equations and extrapolated according to the head parameters
   specified in P1528
