1.1 Product Description con’t


The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is the Intel Personal Wireless Module, a spread spectrum transmitter
that uses frequency hopping modulation. This device is intended to be sold to Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs) for integration into laptop computers only. This device will be integrated with one of four Intel sponsored
antennas, which are being recommended to be used with this device. The module will allow laptop computers to
communicate with other consumer electronics containing Bluetooth devices. This will allow a laptop computer to
communicate to and share files and data with other devices such as digital cameras, cellular phones, wireless mice,
wireless joysticks, wireless keyboards, etc.

Within the Bluetooth protocol, frequency hopping is governed by one and only one Bluetooth unit in any given
communications group. The master unit determines the pseudo random hopping sequence and conveys this
information to other “slave” units that are in the communications group with the master. Because the master unit
generates the hopping sequence independently without any external information, there is no coordination with other
FHSS systems. The Bluetooth protocol relies on Forward Error Correction (FEC) along with re-transmissions to
accommodate for multiple transmitters and interference on specific frequencies.

Under two specific modes (page mode and inquiry mode) of the Bluetooth protocol, fewer than 75 hopping
frequencies are used for a very short period of time. These two modes are used to search for and acquire new
devices in the surrounding area. The amount of time that a Bluetooth device spends in these two modes represents
a very small portion of the overall communications time.

The data transmitted during these two modes is Direct Sequence modulated. Even though the transmitter is still
hopping to a pseudo-random hopping sequence (less than 75 frequencies), the data transmitted at each frequency is
Direct Sequence modulated. In this regard, the transceiver qualifies as a Hybrid System under the Part 15.247 rules.

Because the Bluetooth protocol contains these modes, and because these modes do not meet the minimum
number of hopping channels specified in Part 15.247 for frequency hopping, the Bluetooth transmitter is categorized
as a hybrid system for these two modes and the hybrid-mode processing gain calculations apply.

                                                                             FCC ID: O2Z-BT2

3.0 System Test Configuration

3.1 Justification

3.1.1 Operating Modes
All operating modes of the EUT were investigated including connect, inquiry, and page modes. During spurious
radiated emissions testing, the carrier was put into a no-hop mode while being modulated with a PRBS signal at the
maximum data rate. In this configuration, each of the four antennas was tested at low, mid, and high transmit
frequencies.

An additional test was performed to demonstrate the suitability of the EUT as a certified transmitter module. The
peak output power was measured across a range of DC input voltages. This provided evidence of the EUTs power
supply regulation.

                      The variable supply voltage data may be referenced in Exhibit “Y”,
                                   file name “Output Power vs DC Input.pdf”.

3.1.2 Test Configuration
In FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407, the requirements for modular approval are outline. To paraphrase, a module must
have its own RF shielding, buffered modulation / data inputs, power supply regulation, permanently attached or unique
antenna coupler, and be tested in a stand-alone configuration.

During testing, the EUT was configured to demonstrate compliance with these requirements. The module was tested
in a stand-alone configuration. One meter unshielded cables were attached to the USB and DC input ports of the
EUT. A short (less than 2 inches) coaxial cable was attached to the RF output port of the EUT for connection of the
antennas. A laboratory DC power supply provided power to the EUT.

3.2 EUT Exercise Software

The software used to exercise the EUT is engineering developmental software designed to provide manual control over
the transceiver functions. The software operates on a laptop computer and commands the EUT via communication
over a USB cable through the USB port of the computer. After the EUT was commanded to a particular state, the
USB cable was disconnected from the laptop computer for testing.

The EUT contains a built-in microprocessor and memory storage for processing transceiver instructions in
accordance to the Bluetooth protocols.

This software commands the built-in Bluetooth protocols within the module in the same manner as the final
Bluetooth end-product (laptop computers are the end-product for this module).

The packets selected for transmission during EUT testing were the maximum packet density and data rate allowed in
the Bluetooth protocol to create a worse case emissions.

4.0 Antenna Requirement

Per 47 CFR 15.203, the EUT uses antennas that are designed to ensure that no other antennas other than those
supplied by Intel will be used with the device.


               Details about the antenna connection method may be referenced in exhibit “CC”,
                                  file name “Antenna Connection Method.pdf”


4.1 Antenna Information

Per 47 CFR 15.204 (c), a list of antennas tested with the EUT is provided. The type, manufacturer, model number,
and gain with reference to an isotropic radiator is given.


            Please reference exhibit “G”, file name “Antenna Information.pdf” for that information.

              Photographs of those antennas are in exhibit “E”, file name “External Photos.pdf”


4.2 Frequency Hopping System

Per 47 CFR 15.247(a), a description of how the EUT meets the definition (found in 47 CFR 2.1) of a frequency hopping
spread spectrum system is provided.

The description includes the number of hopping frequencies, the time of occupancy (dwell time) per hopping channel,
and an explanation of how the hopping sequence is generated (an example is provided of the hopping channel
sequence). Also, a description of how the EUT’s hopping channels are used equally on average is provided.

In an effort to avoid the simultaneous occupancy of individual hopping frequencies by multiple transmitters; a
description is provided of how the EUT does not have the ability to coordinate with other frequency hopping systems.

   Please reference exhibit “K”, file name“Description of Frequency Hopping System” for that information


4.3 Frequency Hopping Receiver

Per 47 CFR 15.247 (a)(1), a description is provided of how the EUT’s associated receiver complies with the
requirement that the input bandwidth matches the hopping channel bandwidth of the transmitter, and shifts
frequencies in synchronization with the transmitted signals.


   Please reference exhibit “K”, file name “Description of Frequency Hopping System” for that information




Northwest EMC, Inc.                          Report No. INSC0011                                    Page 9


                                                                              FCC ID: O2Z-BT2


4.4 De Facto EIRP Limit

Per 47 CFR 15.247 (b)(1-3), the EUT meets the de facto EIRP limit of +36dBm. The peak output power of the EUT is
approximately 3.8 dBm, and the maximum gain of any antennas used with the EUT will be 4 dBi or less. Therefore,
the EUT’s maximum EIRP is +7.8dBm.



4.5 RF Exposure Compliance Requirements

Per 47 CFR 15.247 (b)(4), the EUT meets the requirement that it be operated in a manner that ensures the public is
not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines (ref . 47 CFR 1.1307, 1.1310,
2.1091, and 2.1093. Also OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C).

The EUT will only be used in notebook and desktop computers and can therefore be considered a mobile transmitter
per 47 CFR 2.1091. It will not be used in “palm-top” computers or other handheld devices. The EUT supports the
connection of only one antenna at a time.

The MPE estimates are as follows:

Table 1 in 47 CFR 1.1310 defines the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) for the general population as 1mW/cm2.
The distance from the EUT’s transmitting antenna where the exposure level reaches the maximum permitted level is
calculated using the general equation:

                                                   S = (PG)/4πR2

        Where:          S = power density (1mW/cm2 maximum permitted level)
                        P = power input to the antenna (2.404 mW)
                        G = linear power gain relative to an isotropic radiator (4dBi = numeric gain of 2.5)
                        R = distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna

Solving for R, the 1mW/cm2 limit is reached 0.69 cm or closer to the transmitting antenna. Therefore, no warning
labels, no RF exposure warnings in the manual, or other protection measures will be used with the EUT.

4.6 AC Powerline Conducted Emissions
Per 47 15.207(d), if the EUT is connected to the AC powerline indirectly, obtaining its power from another device,
which is connected, to the AC powerline, then it should be tested to demonstrate compliance with the conducted
limits of 15.207. The EUT will be powered from a host computer that could be connected to the AC power line.
Therefore, in accordance with OET laboratory policy, the measurements were made on the laboratory DC power
supply used to power the EUT.
The AC powerline conducted emissions were measured with the EUT operating in a frequency hopping mode typical
of normal operation. The EUT was transmitting at its maximum data rate. The spectrum was scanned from 450 kHz
to 30 MHz. The test setup and procedures were in accordance with ANSI C63.4-1992.

Per 47 CFR 15.207, the radio frequency voltage that is conducted back onto the AC power line from the EUT, on any
frequency within the 450 kHz to 30 MHz band, does not exceed 250 microvolts.




                The AC Powerline conducted emissions data may be referenced in Exhibit “Z”,
                           file name “AC Powerline Conducted Emissions.pdf”.

4.7 Spurious Radiated Emissions
The field strength of any spurious emissions or modulation products that fall in a restricted band, as defined in 47
CFR 15.205, was measured. The highest gain antenna of each type to be used with the EUT was tested. For each
type of antenna, the EUT was configured for low, mid, and high band transmit frequencies. For each configuration,
the spectrum was scanned from 30 MHz to 25 GHz.

While scanning, emissions from the EUT were maximized by rotating the EUT, adjusting the measurement antenna
height and polarization, and manipulating the EUT antenna in 3 orthogonal planes (per ANSI C63.4:1992). A preamp
and high pass filter were used for this test in order to provide sufficient measurement sensitivity.

Intel Corporation provides design guidelines to their OEM customers on the possible use of a printed circuit board
trace (microstrip) as the antenna connection method. In order to demonstrate compliance with this connection
method, an additional series of radiated emissions tests were requested by the FCC lab.

                  The Supplemental Emissions Test Report may be referenced in Exhibit “O”,
                            file name “Supplemental Emissions Test Report.pdf”.

4.7.1 Results
The peak level complies with the limits specified in 47 CFR 15.35 (b). The average level (taken with a 10Hz VBW)
complies with the limits specified in 15.209.

Since the dwell time per channel of the hopping signal was less than 100 ms, the reading obtained with the 10 Hz
VBW may be further reduced by a “duty cycle correction factor”, derived from 20log(dwell time/100ms).

5.0 Spurious RF Conducted Emissions

The spurious RF conducted emissions were measured with the EUT set to low, medium, and high transmit
frequencies. The measurements were made using a direct connection between the RF output of the EUT
and the spectrum analyzer. The EUT was transmitting at its maximum data rate in a no-hop mode with a
modulated carrier. For each mode, the spectrum was scanned from 0 MHz to 25 GHz.

Per 47 CFR 15.247(c), in any 100 kHz bandwidth outside the authorized band, the maximum level of radio

5.1 Band Edge Compliance of RF Conducted Emissions

The spurious RF conducted emissions at the edges of the authorized band were measured with the EUT set
to low and high transmit frequencies. The measurement was made using a direct connection between the
RF output of the EUT and the spectrum analyzer. The EUT was transmitting at its maximum data rate in a
no-hop mode with a modulated carrier. The channels closest to the band edges were selected. The
spectrum was scanned across each band edge from 5 MHz below the band edge to 5 MHz above the band
edge.

Per 47 CFR 15.247(c), in any 100 kHz bandwidth outside the authorized band, the maximum level of radio
frequency power is at least 20dB down from the highest emission level within the authorized band. The
spectrum analyzer’s resolution bandwidth was 100 kHz and the video bandwidth was greater than or equal
to the resolution bandwidth.

5.2 Carrier Frequency Separation

The carrier frequency separation was measured between each of 5 hopping channels in the middle of the
authorized band. The measurements were made using a direct connection between the RF output of the
EUT and the spectrum analyzer. The hopping function of the EUT was enabled.

Per 47 CFR 15.247(a)(1), the hopping channel carrier frequencies are separated by a minimum of 25 kHz or
the 20dB bandwidth of the hopping channel. The spectrum analyzer’s resolution bandwidth was greater
than or equal to 1% of the span, and the video bandwidth was greater than or equal to the resolution
bandwidth.

Measured value of carrier frequency separation for hopping channels is 1 MHz.

5.3 Time of Occupancy (Dwell Time)

The average dwell time per hopping channel was measured at one hopping channel in the middle of the
authorized band for three modes of operation (connect, inquiry, and page modes). The measurements were
made using a direct connection between the RF output of the EUT and the spectrum analyzer. The hopping
function of the EUT was enabled.

Per 47 CFR 15.247(a)(1)(ii), the average time of occupancy for connect mode on any frequency is not
greater than 0.4 seconds within a 30 second period. The spectrum analyzer’s span was set to zero, the
resolution bandwidth was 1 MHz, and the video bandwidth was 7 MHz. The measurement was made in two
steps. First, the sweep speed was adjusted to capture the pulse width or dwell time of a single
transmission. Then, the sweep speed was set to 5 seconds to count the number of transmissions during a
five second period

For connect mode, the dwell time for a single transmission is 360 uS. The average number of transmissions
during a five second period is 51. The dwell time, multiplied by the average number of transmissions during a
five second period, multiplied by 6, equals the average time of occupancy during a 30 second period.

                            360 uS x 51 x 15 = 0.275 seconds (connect mode)

For both inquiry and page modes, per the requirements of 15.247(f), the maximum dwell time cannot exceed
0.4 seconds within a time period in seconds equal to the number of hopping frequencies multiplied by .4. In
this case, 32 x 0.4 = 12.8 seconds. The dwell time for a single transmission is 77 uS. The average number
of transmissions during a 12.8 second period is 1280. Therefore, the total dwell time in a 12.8 second
period is 98.6 mS

5.4 Number of Hopping Frequencies

The number of hopping frequencies was measured across the authorized band. The measurements were
made using a direct connection between the RF output of the EUT and the spectrum analyzer. The hopping
function of the EUT was enabled.

Per 47 CFR 15.247(a)(1)(ii), the number of hopping channels is at least 75. The spectrum analyzer’s
resolution bandwidth was 100 kHz, and the video bandwidth was greater than or equal to the resolution
bandwidth.

5.5 Power Spectral Density

To demonstrate compliance with 15.247(d), power spectral density measurements were made as follows:
The emission peak(s) are located and zoom in on within the passband. Set RBW = 3 kHz, VBW>RBW,
sweep = (SPAN/3 kHz) e.g., for a span of 1.5 MHz, the sweep should be 1.5 x 106 ÷ 3 x 103 = 500 seconds.
The peak level measured must be no greater than +8 dBm. External attenuation is used and added to the
reading. If necessary, the following FCC procedure is used for modifying the power spectral density
measurements:

“If the spectrum line spacing cannot be resolved on the available spectrum analyzer, the noise density
function on most modern conventional spectrum analyzers will directly measure the noise power density
normalized to a 1 Hz noise power bandwidth. Add 34.7 dB for correction
to 3 kHz.”

Data was taken using the 1 Hz noise power bandwidth on an Tektronix 2784 spectrum analyzer. The data
summary shown below includes the 34.7 dB correction to 3 kHz. The cable loss and external attenuation of
1.5 dB were corrected internal to the spectrum analyzer.


                                       Low            -4.3 dBm
                                       Mid            -4.4 dBm
                                       High           -4.4 dBm

Processing gain measurements were performed in accordance with the definitions, calculations, and
explanation in the test report provided by Intel Corp., found in Exhibit BB, file name “Processing Gain.pdf” .

5.7 Field Strength Calculations

The field strength is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Factor, and subtracting the
Amplifier Gain (if any) from the measured level. The basic equation with a sample calculation is as follows:
FS = RA + AF + CF - AG

where :                    FS = Field Strength

                           RA = Measured Level

                           AF = Antenna Factor

                           CF = Cable Attenuation Factor

                           AG = Amplifier Gain

Assume a receiver reading of 52.5 dBuV is obtained. The Antenna Factor of 7.4 and a Cable Factor of 1.1
is added. The Amplifier Gain of 29 dB is subtracted, giving a field strength of 32 dBuV/meter.

FS = 52.5 + 7.4 + 1.1 - 29 = 32 dBuV/meter
Level in uV/m = Common Antilogarithm [(32 dBuV/m)/20] = 39.8 uV/m
