 2.2 DUT Features and Test Requirements

 Common features                   Testing / Specification / KDB
                                   HW0240:1
 Number of SIM cards:
                                   HW0242:1
                                   The Project RM-1135 has two HW versions, which are HW0240 and HW0242. The testing of all
                                   RM-1135 HW 0242 cellular bands has been minimised based on the earlier report FCC_RM-1135_01.
 Test bands
                                   The difference between HW 0240 and HW 0242 is that HW0242 have RF components from 2nd
                                   source supplier.
 Ambient temperature:              20.5 – 22.5 °C / Controlled
 Ambient humidity (RH %):          35 – 55 % RH / Controlled

 Antennas                          One antenna for cellular bands.

                                   The device output power was set to maximum power level for all tests.
 Output power and batteries
                                   A fully charged battery was used for every test sequence.

                                   In all operating bands the measurements were performed on lowest, middle and highest channels,
 Test channels
                                   and/or on all required test channels as defined in Published FCC KDB Procedures.
 GSM/GPRS/EGPRS                    KDB 941225 D03 SAR Test Reduction Procedures for GSM/GPRS/EDGE
 Call tester settings              CMU200: MS signal was always set to maximum power: Pmax 5 for GSM850 and 0 for GSM1900.

 4. DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST EQUIPMENT

 4.1 Measurement System and Components

       The measurements were performed using an automated DASY near-field scanning system manufactured by
       Schmid & Partner Engineering AG (SPEAG) in Switzerland. The SAR extrapolation algorithm used in all
       measurements was the ‘advanced extrapolation’ algorithm.

       The following table lists calibration dates of SPEAG components:

 4.2 Phantoms

       The phantom used for all Head SAR tests i.e. for both system checks and device testing, was the twin-headed
       "SAM Phantom", manufactured by SPEAG; the SAM phantom conforms to the requirements of IEEE 1528.

       The phantom used for all Body SAR tests i.e. for both system checks and device testing, was a flat phantom also
       manufactured by SPEAG this phantom conform to the requirements of FCC published RF Exposure KDB
       Procedures.

       The SPEAG device holder (see Section 5.1) was used to position the device in all tests whilst a tripod was used to
       position the validation dipoles against the flat section of phantom.


 4.3 Tissue Simulants

       Recommended values for the dielectric parameters of the tissue simulants are given in IEEE 1528 and FCC
       published RF Exposure KDB Procedures. All tests were carried out using simulants whose dielectric parameters
       were within  5% of the recommended values. All tests were carried out within 24 hours of measuring the
       dielectric parameters.

       The depth of the tissue simulant was at least 15.0 cm for all system check and device tests, measured from the
       ear reference point in the case of the SAM phantom and from the inner surface of the flat phantom.

 4.4.2 System checking

       The manufacturer calibrates the probes annually. Dielectric parameters of the tissue simulants were measured
       every day using the dielectric probe kit and the network analyser. A system check measurement was made
       following the determination of the dielectric parameters of the simulant, using the dipole validation kit. A power
       level of 250 mW was supplied to the dipole antenna. The dipole was placed under the flat section of the twin
       SAM phantom for head system checking, and under the flat phantom for body system checking. The system
       checking results (dielectric parameters and SAR values) are given in the table below.

 5. DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST PROCEDURE

 5.1 Device Holder

       The device was placed in the device holder (illustrated below) that is supplied by SPEAG as an integral part of
       the Dasy system.




                                                Device holder supplied by SPEAG

       A spacer (illustrated below) was used to position the device within the SPEAG holder. The spacer positions the
       device so that the holder has minimal effect on the test results but still holds the device securely. The spacer was
       removed before the tests.




                                                             Spacer

 5.2 Test Positions

 5.2.1 Against Phantom Head

       Measurements were made in “cheek” and “tilt” positions on both the left hand and right hand sides of the
       phantom.

       The positions used in the measurements were according to IEEE 1528 "IEEE Recommended Practice for
       Determining the Peak Spatial-Average Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) in the Human Head from Wireless
       Communications Devices: Measurement Techniques".

 5.2.2 Body-worn 15 mm Configuration

       The device was placed in the SPEAG holder using the spacer and placed below the flat phantom. The distance
       between the device and the phantom was kept at the separation distance indicated in Section 1.2 using a
       separate flat spacer that was removed before the start of the measurements. The device was oriented with both
       sides facing the phantom to find the highest results.

       Microsoft Body-worn accessories are commonly available for the separation distance used in this testing.

 5.3 Scan Procedures

       First, area scans were used for determination of the field distribution. Next, a zoom scan, a minimum of 5x5x7
       points covering a volume of at least 30x30x30mm, was performed around the highest E-field value to determine

       the averaged SAR value. Drift was determined by measuring the same point at the start of the area scan and
       again at the end of the zoom scan. Fast SAR is measured according to the KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure
       Guidance v05r01.

 5.4 SAR Averaging Methods

       The maximum SAR value was averaged over a cube of tissue using interpolation and extrapolation.

       The interpolation, extrapolation and maximum search routines within Dasy52 are all based on the modified
       Quadratic Shepard’s method (Robert J. Renka,”Multivariate Interpolation of Large Sets of Scattered Data”,
       University of North Texas ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, vol. 14, no. 2, June 1988, pp. 139-148).

       The interpolation scheme combines a least-square fitted function method with a weighted average method. A
       trivariate 3-D / bivariate 2-D quadratic function is computed for each measurement point and fitted to
       neighbouring points by a least-square method. For the zoom scan, inverse distance weighting is incorporated to
       fit distant points more accurately. The interpolating function is finally calculated as a weighted average of the
       quadratics.

       In the zoom scan, the interpolation function is used to extrapolate the Peak SAR from the deepest measurement
       points to the inner surface of the phantom.

 Individual Head SAR plots are given in Appendix B.
 Note:
 * Reported SAR values are scaled to, or measured at, upper limit of power tuning tolerance.
 The highest result within individual zoom scan or individual expanded zoom scan results is given in Section 1.2 for
 each transmitter. The highest result within contributing individual zoom scan, individual expanded zoom scan, Speag
 combined algorithm or combined expanded zoom scan results is given in the Section for the simultaneous transmitter
 combination giving the highest combinated value.

 Individual Body-worn 15 mm SAR plots are given Appendix B.

 Note:
 * Reported SAR values are scaled to, or measured at, upper limit of power tuning tolerance.
 The highest result within individual zoom scan or individual expanded zoom scan results is given in Section 1.2 for
 each transmitter. The highest result within contributing individual zoom scan, individual expanded zoom scan, Speag
 combined algorithm or combined expanded zoom scan results is given in the Section for the simultaneous transmitter
 combination giving the highest combinated value.
