MPE Evaluation for MC8805 Radio Module December 31, 2012

1. Introduction In this application we seek for modular approval to the MC8805 wireless module for use in standalone and collocated simultaneous transmission under mobile configuration. This Maximum Permissive Exposure (MPE) report demonstrates compliance analysis for MC8805 wireless module with FCC CFR 47 §2.1091 and IC RSS-102 for standalone and collocated transmission 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 documenting equivalent or degraded RF characteristics 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 WWAN, WiMAX or WLAN, and Bluetooth transmitting antenna. Portable user conditions or additional collocated transmitters not allowed based on this RF exposure analysis require a Class II permissive change and updated RF exposure report.

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)

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. Product Declarations The MC8805 wireless module can be installed for use in any mobile host as long as the antenna gain of the host antenna does not exceed the gain listed in table 2. This MPE analysis is applicable to any collocated transmitters with transmit power: - less than or equal to 29.0dBm for WLAN/WiMAX; and - less than or equal to 15.0dBm for BT. Specific FCC IDs for those devices are not necessary or identified in this analysis providing they are classified as mobile transmitters. A 100% duty cycle is used for calculations to present a worse-case analysis when applicable.

4. MPE Calculations The WWAN MPE calculations are based on conservative conducted transmit power exceeding those listed in the FCC ID N7NMC8805 and IC number 2417C-MC8805 filing. The higher transmit power levels are used to present a worst case assessment. The WiMAX, WLAN, and BT transmit power and antenna gain parameters represent a maximum transmit power for a given frequency band. Integration of either a WiMAX or WLAN, and BT module that exceeds the parameters requires a new FCC authorization or permissive change application. A maximum antenna gain of 5 dBi for WLAN/WiMAX/BT has been assumed for all collocated antennas. Table 3, 4, and 5 summarize transmitter parameters associated with this analysis. 4.1.

Per OET Bulletin 65 and KDB 447498 D01, when transmitters are used in mobile exposure conditions for simultaneous transmission operations, the sum of the MPE ratios for all simultaneous transmitting antennas incorporated in a host device must not exceed 1.0. The maximum MPE ratio of MC8805 = 0.20/0.549 = 0.36 The maximum MPE ratio of other collocated transmitters = 0.5/1 = 0.5 Therefore the sum of the MPE ratios for all simultaneous transmitting antennas will not exceed 0.86 (=0.36+0.5). 5. Conclusion Based on FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C and 47 CFR §2.1091, the analysis concludes that the MC8805 wireless module, when transmitting either in standalone or simultaneously with other co-located radio transmitters within a host device, is compliant with the FCC/IC RF exposure requirements in mobile exposure condition, provided the conducted power and antenna gain do not exceed the limits in Table 6 for each given frequency band per wireless technology.
