FCC ID: KBCIX300AC775WLBT Model: IX300 with AirCard 775, (WAN), WM168b-Molex, (WLAN), & MUBTC2-TH, (Bluetooth) Effective Radiated Power Output measurements by Substitution Method according to ANSI/TIA-603-B, approved November 7, 2002. The measurements were made as prescribed in TIA-603-B 2.2.17.2.2, a – f. The EUT was set up at the OATS facility on the non-conductive turntable 3 meters from the receive antenna. The height and turntable rotation was adjusted for the maximum reading on the spectrum analyzer for each antenna polarization. Only the polarization with the highest levels observed is reported below. The EUT was removed and a half wave dipole antenna, adjusted for each frequency, was substituted in its place with the height of this antenna consistent with the position of the EUT antenna. The RF signal generator with a known output fed a signal to the dipole antenna to obtain and record the path loss in dB as LOSS. LOSS = Generator Output Power (dBm) – Analyzer reading (dBm).

Model: IX300 with AirCard 775, (WAN), WM168b- Molex, (WLAN), & MUBTC2-TH, (Bluetooth) Minimum Standard Specified: Part 22.917 (e) = 43+10log (PO) dB Test Results: Equipment complies with standard Authorization Procedure: Part 2.1053 Test Equipment Set Up: See photos and block diagram in Exhibit 7 Frequency Range Observed: .30 to 9.000 GHz Test Frequencies: 824.2, 836.6 and 848.8 MHz Power Output Conducted: 31.44 dBm or, 1.393 Watts Power Output Radiated 31.63 dBm ERP or 1.455 Watts ERP Spurious Limit = 43 + 10Log (PO) = 44.44 dB below the carrier Test date: 12/09/04 Location: OATS Fluke Park II Everett, WA Discussion The field strength of the radiated spurious emissions and harmonics was measured at 3 meters EUT to antenna distance using 1 MHz RBW and VBW. The transmitter output of the AirCard 775 was terminated into a 50 ohm coaxial termination. A high pass filter was used prior to the input to the preamp during testing to reduce the fundamental signal of the WLAN and BT and avoid overloading the front end of the analyzer. All of the measured spurious levels reported on the following page are more than 40 dB below the spurious limit. Emissions attenuated by 20 dB or more below the limit need not be reported according to Part 2.1051. The highest level emissions observed were then re-measured with the signal substitution method and the level reported on page 7. The change observed in the measurable emissions levels with or without the two Part 15 Intentional Radiators was negligible so the reported results are “worst case” with all three co-located transmitters transmitting simultaneously. The Part 15 Intentional Radiators were both set to operate on the same frequencies as follows: Low, 2412 MHz, Mid, 2436 MHz, High, 2463 MHz. This corresponding to the Low, 824.2 MHz, Mid 836.1 MHz and High 848.8 MHz channels the AirCard 775 was set for during this test. Exhibit VI 5

The measurements were made by the Signal Substitution Method described in TIA-603-B, approved November 7, 2002. The measurements were made as prescribed in TIA-603-B 2.2.12, Unwanted Emissions: Radiated Spurious. The EUT was set up at the OATS facility on the non-conductive turntable 3 meters from the receive antenna. The antenna height and the turntable rotation were adjusted for the maximum reading on the spectrum analyzer for each antenna polarization. Only the three highest levels observed are reported above. All emissions observed are more than 30 dB below the limit and are not required to be reported according to Part 2.1051. During the preliminary field strength measurements the highest level spurious emissions were identified. The EUT was removed and a horn antenna was substituted in its place, with the height of this antenna consistent with the position of the EUT antenna. The output of the RF signal generator tuned to a particular spurious frequency was carefully adjusted along with adjustment of the test antenna to duplicate the reading originally observed on the Spectrum Analyzer during the filed strength measurements. The Signal Generator reading was corrected for the cable loss and the gain of the substitute horn antenna used, relative to an ideal half wave dipole, to obtain the power in dBm. Pd (dBm) = Pg (dBm) – cable loss (dB) + antenna gain (dB) Pd is the dipole equivalent power and Pg is the generator output power into the substitute antenna. Measurements were taken at 3 meters, EUT to receive antenna distance.
