6.6. LTE (TDD) Considerations
According to KDB 941225 D05 SAR for LTE Devices, for Time-Division Duplex (TDD) systems, SAR must be
tested using a fixed periodic duty factor according to the highest transmission duty factor implemented for the
device and supported by the defined 3GPP LTE TDD configurations.

LTE TDD Bands support 3GPP TS 36.211 section 4.2 for Type 2 Frame Structure and Table 4.2-2 for uplink-
downlink configurations and Table 4.2-1 for Special Subframe configurations.

Calculated Duty Cycle = Extended cyclic prefix in uplink x (Ts) x # of S + # of U

Example for Calculated Duty Cycle for Uplink-Downlink Configuration 0:
Calculated Duty Cycle = 5120 x [1/(15000 x 2048)] x 2 + 6 ms = 63.33%
where
Ts = 1/(15000 x 2048) seconds

Note(s):
This device supports uplink-downlink configurations 0-6. The configuration with highest duty cycle was used for
SAR Testing: configuration 0 at 63.3% duty cycle and Special Subframe 7.

antenna-to-edge(s) distances.

Extremity 0 mm
Edge 2 (Right) < 25 mm Yes
Edge 3 (Bottom) < 25 mm Yes
Edge 4 (Left) < 25 mm Yes

Notes:
1. SAR is not required because the distance from the antenna to the edge is > 25 mm as per KDB 941225 D06 Hot Spot SAR.
2. When Hotspot Mode is not supported, 10-g Extremity SAR is required for all surfaces and edges with an antenna located at ≤ 25 mm from
that surface or edge in direct contact with a flat phantom, to address interactive hand use exposure conditions.
3. When hotspot mode applies, 10-g extremity SAR is required only for the surfaces and edges with hotspot mode 1-g reported SAR > 1.2
W/kg. When hotspot mode does not apply, 10-g Extremity SAR is required for all surfaces and Edges within 25mm of the antenna.

8. Dielectric Property Measurements & System Check
8.1. Dielectric Property Measurements
The temperature of the tissue-equivalent medium used during measurement must also be within 18°C to 25°C and
within ± 2°C of the temperature when the tissue parameters are characterized.
The dielectric parameters must be measured before the tissue-equivalent medium is used in a series of SAR
measurements. The parameters should be re-measured after each 3 – 4 days of use; or earlier if the dielectric
parameters can become out of tolerance; for example, when the parameters are marginal at the beginning of the
measurement series.
Tissue dielectric parameters were measured at the low, middle and high frequency of each operating frequency
range of the test device.
For SAR measurement systems that have implemented the SAR error compensation algorithms documented in
IEEE Std 1528-2013, to automatically compensate the measured SAR results for deviations between the measured
and required tissue dielectric parameters, the tolerance for εr and σ may be relaxed to ± 10%. This is limited to
frequencies ≤ 3 GHz.

10. Measured and Reported (Scaled) SAR Results
SAR Test Reduction criteria are as follows:

KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance:
Testing of other required channels within the operating mode of a frequency band is not required when the reported 1-g or 10-g
SAR for the mid-band or highest output power channel is:
• ≤ 0.8 W/kg or 2.0 W/kg, for 1-g or 10-g respectively, when the transmission band is ≤ 100 MHz
• ≤ 0.6 W/kg or 1.5 W/kg, for 1-g or 10-g respectively, when the transmission band is between 100 MHz and 200 MHz
• ≤ 0.4 W/kg or 1.0 W/kg, for 1-g or 10-g respectively, when the transmission band is ≥ 200 MHz

KDB 648474 D04 Handset SAR:
With headset attached, when the reported SAR for body-worn accessory, measured without a headset connected to the
handset, is > 1.2 W/kg, the highest reported SAR configuration for that wireless mode and frequency band should be repeated
for that body-worn accessory with a headset attached to the handset.

KDB 648474 D04 Handset SAR (Phablet):
When Hotspot Mode is not supported, 10-g Extremity SAR is required for all surfaces and edges with an antenna located at ≤ 25
mm from that surface or edge in direct contact with a flat phantom, to address interactive hand use exposure conditions.
When hotspot mode applies, 10-g extremity SAR is required only for the surfaces and edges with hotspot mode 1-g reported
SAR > 1.2 W/kg.

KDB 941225 D05 SAR for LTE Devices:
SAR test reduction is applied using the following criteria:
• Start with the largest channel bandwidth and measure SAR for QPSK with 1 RB, and 50% RB allocation, using the RB
offset and required test channel combination with the highest maximum output power among RB offsets at the upper edge,
middle and lower edge of each required test channel.
• When the reported SAR is > 0.8 W/kg, testing for other Channels is performed at the highest output power level for 1RB,
and 50% RB configuration for that channel.
• Testing for 100% RB configuration is performed at the highest output power level for 100% RB configuration across the
Low, Mid and High Channel when the highest reported SAR for 1 RB and 50% RB are > 0.8 W/kg. Testing for the
remaining required channels is not needed because the reported SAR for 100% RB Allocation < 1.45 W/kg.
• Testing for 16-QAM modulation is not required because the reported SAR for QPSK is < 1.45 W/Kg and its output power is
not more than 0.5 dB higher than that of QPSK.
• Testing for the other channel bandwidths is not required because the reported SAR for the highest channel bandwidth is <
1.45 W/Kg and its output power is not more than 0.5 dB higher than that of the highest channel bandwidth.
• For LTE bands that do not support at least three non-overlapping channels in certain channel bandwidths, test the available
non-overlapping channels instead. When a device supports overlapping channel assignment in a channel bandwidth
configuration, the middle channel of the group of overlapping channels should be selected for testing; therefore, the
requirement for H, M and L channels may not fully apply.

11. SAR Measurement Variability
In accordance with published RF Exposure KDB 865664 D01 SAR measurement 100 MHz to 6 GHz. These
additional measurements are repeated after the completion of all measurements requiring the same head or body
tissue-equivalent medium in a frequency band. The test device should be returned to ambient conditions (normal
room temperature) with the battery fully charged before it is re-mounted on the device holder for the repeated
measurement(s) to minimize any unexpected variations in the repeated results.

1) Repeated measurement is not required when the original highest measured SAR is <0.8 or 2 W/kg (1-g or 10-g
respectively); steps 2) through 4) do not apply.
2) When the original highest measured SAR is ≥ 0.8 or 2 W/kg (1-g or 10-g respectively), repeat that
measurement once.
3) Perform a second repeated measurement only if the ratio of largest to smallest SAR for the original and first
repeated measurements is > 1.20 or when the original or repeated measurement is ≥ 1.45 or 3.6 W/kg (~ 10%
from the 1-g or 10-g respective SAR limit).
4) Perform a third repeated measurement only if the original, first, or second repeated measurement is ≥ 1.5 or
3.75 W/kg (1-g or 10-g respectively) and the ratio of largest to smallest SAR for the original, first and second
repeated measurements is > 1.20.

12.2. Sum of the SAR for LTE Band 38 & Wi-Fi & BT
SAR for LTE Band 38 (Frequency range: 2570-2620 MHz) is covered by LTE Band 41 (Frequency range: 2496-
2690 MHz) due to overlapping frequency range, same maximum tune-up limit and same channel bandwidth.

12.3. Sum of the SAR for LTE Band 41 & Wi-Fi & BT

Conclusion:
Simultaneous transmission SAR measurement (Volume Scan) is not required because the sum of the 1-g SAR is < 1.6 W/kg.
