MPE Evaluation for AR7592 Wireless Module December 29, 2016

1. Introduction In this application we seek modular approval for the AR7592 radio module. This Maximum Permissive Exposure (MPE) report demonstrates compliance analysis for AR7592 radio module with FCC CFR 47 §2.1091 and IC RSS-102 for operation in mobile exposure conditions. The MPE analysis is limited for US / Canada bands only. 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. Any collocated transmitter must have a valid FCC ID with the collocated parameters defined in this MPE report. A separation distance of 20cm or more shall be maintained between the end user and each collocated transmitting antenna.

2. RF Exposure Limits and Equations FCC RULES: According to FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, the criteria listed in Table 1 shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation as specified in §1.1307. Table 1: Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) IC RULES: IC has adopted the RF field strength limits established in Health Canada’s RF exposure guideline. The limits are shown in Table 2 below per RSS 102. Table 2: RF Field Strength Limits for Devices Used by the General Public (Uncontrolled Environment)

In the frequency range of 300-6000 MHz, the IC limits are more stringent than the FCC limits. The MPE evaluation in this report will be based on the IC limits, so the deduced output power and antenna gain limits will guarantee compliance with both FCC and IC requirements. EQUATIONS: Power density is given by: S = EIRP / (4 * Pi* D^2) where S = Power density (mW/cm^2) EIRP = Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (mW) D = Separation distance (cm)

3. AR7592 Product Specs AR7592 will transmit on only one band and mode of operation at any one time. Table 3 lists the supported frequency bands in Canada/USA and the maximum power in each of those bands. Technology Band UL Freq. (MHz) DL Freq.

4. Stand-Alone Transmission When AR7592 module transmits as a stand-alone mobile device, the source-based time-averaged EIRP is calculated by summing up conducted power and antenna gain. A 100% duty cycle is used for calculations to present a worse-case analysis. The antenna gains are chosen so that the resulted radiated power levels are within the limits specified by the FCC rules and IC Radio Standards Specifications (RSS). The IC exemption limits for routine RF exposure evaluation are calculated using the lowest frequency of the operating band presenting the most stringent limits. As shown in Table 5 below, the resulted EIRP are always below the IC exemption limits for all the operating modes.

4. Collocated Transmission When AR7592 module co-transmits with radio transmitter(s) as a mobile device, per KDB 447498 D01, simultaneous transmission MPE test exclusion applies when the sum of the MPE ratios for all simultaneous transmitting antennas incorporated in a host device, based on the calculated/estimated, numerically modeled or measured field strengths or power density, is ≤ 1.0. The evaluation here considers a WiMAX or WLAN transmitter, and a Bluetooth transmitter as collocated transmitters. Their radiated output power levels are listed in Table 6 below. The MPE ratio is defined by the ratio of power density to MPE limit. The sum of the MPE ratios is calculated as follows: Σ𝑀𝑃𝐸 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜 = Max (AR7592 MPE ratio) + Max (WLAN/WiMax MPE ratio) + BT MPE Ratio = 0.769+0.192+0.037=0.998 < 1.0 Maximum Power Maximum Maximum Average IC MPE IC Frequency Conducted Duty Density @ Technology Conducted Antenna EIRP Limit PwrDensity (MHz) Power Cycle 20cm Power (W) Gain (dBi) (dBm) (W/m^2) MPE Ratio (dBm) (W/m^2) G850-GMSK(2TS) 824 - 849 33 2.00 3.0 25% 30.99 1.98 2.58 0.767 G850-GMSK(3TS) 824 - 849 31 1.58 3.0 38% 30.79 1.90 2.58 0.736 G850-GMSK(4TS) 824 - 849 30 1.26 3.0 50% 30.99 1.98 2.58 0.769 G850-8PSK(2TS) 824 - 849 30 0.63 3.0 25% 27.98 0.99 2.58 0.385 G850-8PSK(3TS) 824 - 849 30 0.63 3.0 38% 29.80 1.51 2.58 0.585 G850-8PSK(4TS) 824 - 849 30 0.63 3.0 50% 30.99 1.98 2.58 0.769 AR7592 module (Collocated) G1900-GMSK(4TS) 1850 - 1910 27 0.63 5.0 50% 28.99 1.58 4.48 0.352 G1900-8PSK(4TS) 1850 - 1910 29 0.50 5.0 50% 30.99 2.50 4.48 0.558 WCDMA Band II 1850 - 1910 25.7 0.25 5.0 100% 30.70 2.34 4.48 0.522 WCDMA Band IV 1710 - 1755 25.7 0.372 4.0 100% 29.7 1.86 4.24 0.438 WCDMA Band V 824 - 849 25.7 0.372 3.0 100% 29.70 1.47 2.58 0.572 LTE B2 1850 – 1910 25.2 0.331 5.0 100% 30.2 2.08 4.48 0.465 LTE B4 1710 – 1755 25.2 0.331 4.0 100% 29.2 1.65 4.24 0.390 LTE B5 824 – 849 25.2 0.331 3.0 100% 29.2 1.31 2.58 0.509 LTE B7 2500 – 2570 25.2 0.331 5.0 100% 30.2 2.08 5.50 0.379 LTE B12 699 – 716 25.2 0.331 3.0 100% 29.2 1.31 2.30 0.571 LTE B13 777 – 787 25.2 0.331 3.0 100% 29.2 1.31 2.47 0.532 LTE B17 704 – 716 25.2 0.331 3.0 100% 29.2 1.31 2.31 0.569 WLAN 2400 -2500 100% 27.00 1.00 5.35 0.187 Other Collocated WLAN 5150 -5850 100% 27.00 1.00 9.01 0.111 Transmitters WiMax 2300 -2400 100% 27.00 1.00 5.19 0.192 WiMax 2500 -2700 100% 27.00 1.00 5.50 0.181 WiMax 3300 -3800 100% 27.00 1.00 6.65 0.150 BT 2400 -2500 100% 20.00 0.20 5.35 0.037 Table 6: AR7592 Collocated Transmission

5. Conclusion The analysis presented in this report concludes that the AR7592 radio module, when transmitting either in standalone or simultaneously with other co-located radio transmitters within a host device, is compliant with the IC RF exposure requirements in mobile exposure condition, provided the conducted power and antenna gain do not exceed the limits in Table 4 for each given frequency band and operating mode.
