Overview
The application is for the PC24-11-FC/R radio module, which operates in the 2.4-2.4835 GHz band as a
direct sequence spread spectrum transmitter under Section 15.247. This RF module is compliant with
IEEE 802.11b specifications, and will be used only as a mobile transmitter. The radio is provided to
Intermec Technologies Corporation by Agere Systems. Agere Systems has provided the information
regarding the Theory of Operation, Schematics and Block Diagram for this certification application.
Intermec’s 802.11(b) Transmitter, FCC ID: HN2PC24-11 is seeking FCC authorization as a modular
transmitter. The EUT meets the requirements for modular approval as detailed in FCC Public Notice
DA00-1407. Compliance to each of the requirements is described in the letter included with this
application package, Exhibit T.



General Comments

             The TCB 410, Application for Certification is incorrect, it states 0.032 W for output power,
Item
             the test data shows 0.0374 W. A corrected application must be submitted.
Resolution   A corrected application has been provided.

             The FCC requires that the highest gain of each type of antenna, plus the lowest gain
             antenna overall must be tested for radiated spurious emissions. Several antennas were
Item         tested; Yagi, flat panel, corner reflector, omni, dipole, flag, and patch antennas. Please
             provide additional information demonstrating that each of the antennas listed is one of
             those “types” of antennas, or additional test data for the “types” of antennas not tested.
Resolution   Additional information has been provided, reference Exhibit G.

             To satisfy the modular approval requirements of item 6 in the FCC Public Notice DA 00-
             1407, a drawing or photo of the label used on the outside of the host device must be
             provided with the application. Excerpt from DA 00-1407: "The modular transmitter must be
             labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is
             installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is
             installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior
Item         label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:
             XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the
             same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of
             which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide
             adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter
             case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment
             authorization."
Resolution   Additional information has been provided, reference Exhibit A.

             The antenna information exhibit did not specifically address how the antenna connector
Item
             requirements of 15.203 were met. (e.g. reverse polarity SMA connectors, etc.)
Resolution   Additional information has been provided, reference Exhibit V.

             The Operational Description stated a frequency range of 2412-2462 MHz, the applicant
Item
             cover letter states 2400-2483 MHz, please correct the conflicting information.
Resolution   The applicant has provided further clarification, this is no longer and issue.

             The CE module states testing was performed in the 450 kHz – 30 MHz range, the data
Item
             actually shows testing was conducted over the 150 kHz – 30 MHz range.
Resolution   The information has been corrected.

             Conducted emissions data states a CISPR 22 method, it should be tested using ANSI
Item
             C63.4 methods.
Resolution   The information has been corrected.

             Conducted Emissions data states input power of 5 VDC, the module specifies the

             equipment is tested in a PC powered by 120 VAC/60 Hz.
Resolution   The information has been corrected.

             The CE module describes testing in a Host Laptop PC, the EUT and peripheral description

             and setup photos describes different equipment.
Resolution   The information has been corrected.

             The CE data includes redundant data, there is separate data sheets for peak and then QP
