3.1       Purpose of this report
The purpose of this report is to show the compliance of certain simultaneous transmission configurations for
use in mobile exposure conditions.

In addition to basic requirements of the standards listed above (including FCC Part 22 H and Part 24 E) the
following requirements have been taken into account:

      -    The module must be categorically excluded by FCC 47 CFR § 2.1091 (c) and the antenna
           separation distance and MPE compliance boundary requirements that enable all simultaneous
           transmitting antennas incorporated within the host shall comply with MPE limits as specified in FCC
           47 CFR § 1.1310.
           (see chapter 8 of FCC KDB 447498 D01 Mobile Portable RF Exposure)

If these requirements are kept the module can be incorporated in mobile host devices without further testing
or certification.

4     Evaluating compliance with requirements for human exposure to EMFs

4.1   Maximum permissible exposure (MPE)
Fixed/mobile exposure conditions of multiple transmitters installed in different hosts represent the most
difficult situation in terms of the determination of minimum safety distances.
While EMF measurements most often only refer to a single configuration with only one transmitter or with
multiple co-located transmitters a general approach is needed to determine a worst case condition under
which several transmitters and their antennas can be installed to prevent additional SAR testing for each
host.
This test report illustrates different scenarios how radio modules can be integrated in notebook hosts without
the need of further testing.
The target is to determine a maximum EIRP or antenna gain for a WWAN module using GSM and/or UMTS
frequencies, which is used stand-alone or collocated with other antennas for WLAN, Bluetooth, WiMAX etc.

The background of the calculation is a minimum distance of 20 cm between antenna(s) and user (mobile
exposure condition), and the compliance with the requirements of chapter 3.1.

4.2   Limits and normative references

Additional illustration:

    -    Table a) shows the maximum antenna gain for the WWAN module so that the worst case power
         density limits are met in stand-alone configuration.
    -    Table b) shows the maximum antenna gain for the WWAN module so that the worst case power
         density limits are met in all collocated scenarios.
    -    Table c) shows the maximum antenna gain of the WWAN module so that FCC ERP limits for time
         based averaged power are met.
    -    Table d) shows the maximum antenna gain of the WWAN module so that FCC E(I)RP limits for burst
         power are met.

The lowest calculated antenna gain values (shown in bold letters) determine the highest allowed antenna
gain of the WWAN module in stand-alone and collocated scenarios.

Antenna configuration for all scenarios:




Important note: this notebook configuration is an example. Different applications (e.g. M2M) are also
possible as long as the same antenna-to-antenna and antenna-to-user distances are respected.

    -   the maximum antenna gain of the WWAN transmitters does not exceed the values listed above
    -   the averaged EIRP of the WiMAX module does not exceed the value listed above

    -   the averaged EIRP of the BT module does not exceed the value listed above
    -   the distance between WWAN, WiMAX, WLAN and BT antennas is 0 cm or larger

Note : other antennas for different communication systems may be installed in the host platform as long as
they are not collocated to the WWAN antenna (distance > 20 cm)

Annex A: RF Exposure assessment

Annex A.1: Individual transmitters

The table on the following page lists all calculated power density values in relation to the limits defined in
different standards, calculated for a distance of 20 cm from the antenna(s).

Fundamental data for calculating worst case EIRP of the primary and secondary transmitters are listed in
chapter 4.3.

Power density at a distance of 20 cm is calculated by using the following formula:

S eq  P  G              with P*G = EIRP and r = 20 cm
               4  r 2

                  S eq
Then the ratio                   is calculated for all applied limits.
                         S lim

During calculation the maximum EIRP of the primary transmitter is optimized so that the ratio Seq / Slim does
not exceed a value of 1 for all applied limits for a comprehensive coverage of all relevant standards.

The calculation of Seq / Slim with reference to a certain standard is limited to those frequency bands that are
generally used in regions where this standard is applied.

For frequencies above 2 GHz the limit is constant for all standards.
Therefore no frequency dependent differentiation is needed for radio technologies in this frequency band.

Annex A.2: Collocated transmitters
When transmitters with collocated antennas are active simultaneously a worst case assessment is
necessary which takes additive effects into account.

In this case it must be insured that the sum of all worst case power densities of all active transmitters
(according to the different scenarios) do not exceed the limits even if they are far below the limits for the
single transmitter.
