4 (13) GFTB-17:001313 Uen, Rev D, 2018-10-19 1 General information The test results presented in this report define compliance boundaries for maximum power configurations of Radio 4415. Outside these compliance boundaries, the radio frequency (RF) exposure levels are below the international exposure limits specified by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) [4], the European Commission [5], [6] and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) [7], and Health Canada [8]. The tests were performed by calculations in accordance with the Ericsson RF exposure calculation procedure for base stations [10], which is in conformity with the European standards EN 50385 [2], EN/IEC 62232:2017 [3], and FCC OET Bulletin 65 [9]. Recommended product specific EMF health and safety information for Ericsson radio products is found in [1]. By inclusion of the test report summary in [1] and the content of Appendices A and B in the product documentation, the tested equipment complies with the documentation requirements listed in the clause 8 of EN 50385 [2]. 2 Equipment under test Table 1 and Table 2 below summarize the technical data for the equipment under test (EUT) and the antenna properties for the integrated antenna. The tested antenna is a directional sector antenna. Table 3 lists the nominal output power from the radio unit (total power from all antenna branches) and the total power delivered to the antenna for the specified configuration.

Other installation related exposure conditions are not reasonably foreseeable for the EUT. The assessments were conducted for maximum power configurations, i.e. by assuming 100% utilization and beamforming without taking time-averaging into account. Effects of real RBS utilization (time-averaged) is reasonably foreseeable and will significantly reduce the time-averaged power and the RF exposure. This factor was not considered in this assessment, which adds to the conservativeness of the obtained compliance boundaries. 4 Calculations The RF exposure was evaluated using calculations performed according to the Ericsson RF Exposure Calculation Procedure for Base Stations [10], which conforms to EN/IEC 62232:2017[3]. The calculations were made using the far- field spherical formula and the cylindrical wave model. The first step in calculating the compliance boundary was to use the spherical far-field formula to estimate power density: 𝑃a𝐺(πœƒ,πœ™) 𝑆sph(πœƒ,πœ™) = , 4πœ‹π‘Ÿ2 4 The stated far-field properties are given for a single excited port.

6 (13) GFTB-17:001313 Uen, Rev D, 2018-10-19 where 𝑆,𝑃a, 𝐺, π‘Ÿ,πœƒ, and πœ™ denote the power density, the power accepted by each antenna port, the antenna gain per port, the distance from the antenna, and the angular variables in a spherical coordinate system, respectively. The gain for each of the four antenna ports was obtained from far-field measurements provided by the antenna manufacturer. The accepted power per port was taken as the total power delivered to the antenna, including tolerances, divided by the [ πœ‹πœ‹ ] number of ports. In the frontal hemisphere (πœ™ ∈ β€’ 2,2 ), the exposure from antenna ports with the same nominal polarizations (denoted ±45) were summed in a correlated way to consider beamforming while the exposure from antenna ports with different nominal polarizations were summed in an uncorrelated manner. Also, in the rear hemisphere πœ‹πœ‹ (πœ™ ∉ [ β€’ 2,2] ), uncorrelated exposure was assumed [10]. With the two antenna panels denoted 1 and 2, the total power density as estimated by the spherical far-field formula is thus given by πœ‹πœ‹ [ ] { ( 𝑆sph,1, + 45 + 𝑆sph,2, + 45)2 + ( 𝑆sph,1, β€’ 45 + 𝑆sph,2, β€’ 45)2 ,πœ™∈ β€’ , 22 𝑆total, sph = πœ‹πœ‹ 𝑆sph,1, + 45 + 𝑆sph,2, + 45 + 𝑆sph,1, β€’ 45 + 𝑆sph,2, β€’ 45 ,πœ™∉[β€’ , ] 22 The compliance distance for the spherical model, CDsph(πœƒ,πœ™) was obtained by solving the following equation for π‘Ÿ: 𝑆total,sph(π‘Ÿ,πœƒ,πœ™) lim = 1, 𝑆gp,w lim where 𝑆gp,w denotes the applicable RF EMF exposure limits on power density given in Table 4 for general public and workers exposure. .

Within the main beam direction, a better approximation of the spatial peak power density per antenna is in this case obtained by using the cylindrical wave model5 [11] 6𝑃av2 β€’ ( ) 2πœ™ 2 Φ3dB 𝛷3dB 𝑆cyl(π‘Ÿ,πœ™) = , π‘Ÿ0 = 𝐷A𝐿cos2(𝛾), 12 2π‘Ÿ π𝛷3dB π‘ŸπΏcos2 (γ) 1 + π‘Ÿ 0 () 2 where 𝑃av, 𝐿, 𝐷A,𝛷3dB,and 𝛾 denote the transmitted power per antenna port6 (W), the length over which the antenna elements are distributed (m), the peak directivity (unit-less), the horizontal half-power beam width (radians) and the electrical down tilt (radians), respectively. Here, 𝐷A and Φ3dB were obtained from the far-field measurement for each antenna port for the lowest applicable electrical tilt. Similarly, as for the spherical formula, the total power density as estimated using the cylindrical wave model is given by 5 In EN/IEC 62232:2017 [2], a slightly simplified cylindrical wave model is specified based on the approximation πœ‹ ≈ 3. Here, the expression in the original journal paper [11] has been used which in the main beam direction πœ™ = 0˚ correctly converges to the spherical far field formula as π‘Ÿ → ∞. 6 The transmitted power per antenna port were conservatively taken as the accepted power per antenna port.

Therefore, within this angular range in the horizontal plane, the compliance distance is taken as the lesser of the values obtained by the two models [10]. CD(πœƒ,πœ™) = min(CDspherical(πœƒ,πœ™), CDcylindrical(πœ™) ), 5 Results A box-shaped compliance boundary is used, characterized by its width, height, and the compliance distances behind and in front of the back plane of the antenna, see Figure 1. Outside of this box, the RF exposure is below the exposure limits. Height Antenna Width Distance behind Distance in front of Antenna antenna back-plane Figure 1 Box-shaped structure specifying the compliance boundary for the tested RBS product. If the spherical far-field formula is applied behind the antenna, very conservative results are obtained. Given the relatively large distance from the antenna array elements to the back of the antenna, and based on extensive experience from a large set of numerical EMF tests for products and antennas with similar geometrical configurations and power levels [1], it is possible to state that the compliance distance behind the antenna measured from its back plane is less than 0.1 m. This is also confirmed by applying the SAR estimation formula for the back direction [9], 𝑃tot B SAR10g(𝑑, 𝑃avg,𝑁e) = 𝐷10g , 𝑑 ≥ 0.01 m, 𝑁e ⋅ 𝑑 𝑃 B tot SAR1g(𝑑, 𝑃tot,𝑁e) = 𝐷1g , 𝑑 ≥ 0.01 m, 𝑁e 𝑑 B β€’1 B β€’1 where 𝐷10g = 0.005 m ⋅ kg , 𝐷1g = 0.01 m ⋅ kg , and 𝑃tot and 𝑁e denote the total accepted power by the antenna and the number of dual-polarized antenna elements. The distance 𝑑 is measured from the antenna ground plane. At a distance of 0.1 m, the 10g SAR estimation formula gives SAR10g(0.1 m, 162 W, 28) = 0.29 W/kg, which is well below the ICNIRP limits of 2 W/kg and 10 W/kg for general public and occupational exposure, respectively [4] . At a distance of 0.1 m, the 1g SAR estimation formula gives SAR1g(0.1 m, 162 W, 28) = 0.58 W/kg. This value is well below the exposure limits of 1.6 W/kg and 8 W/kg for general public and workers exposure applicable in both the U.S. and Canada , respectively [7], [8].

With the accepted power taken as the total power delivered to the antenna including tolerances, and the upward rounding of compliance boundary dimensions to the nearest decimeter, the specified results are conservative. The fact that effects of RBS utilization and time-averaging were not included in this assessment also adds to the conservativeness of the obtained compliance boundary dimensions. 7 Conclusions The results in Section 5 show the compliance boundary dimensions for the considered configuration when tested according to the European standards EN 50385 [2], EN/IEC 62232:2017 [3], and FCC OET Bulletin 65 [9]. Outside of this compliance boundary, the exposure is below the exposure limits [4], [7], [8].. By inclusion of the test report summary and the content of Appendices A and B in the product documentation, the tested equipment complies with the documentation requirements of EN 50385. The tested equipment complies with the requirements in respect of all parameters subject to the test.

The compliance boundary dimensions were determined for the product transmitting in free space for at least one typical configuration. To consider possible contributions from ambient sources (e.g. other RBS products already present on site) or the influence from any reflecting or scattering objects in the vicinity of the product installation, the requirements in EN 50 401 [12] apply.

Guidelines for workers during installation, maintenance, and repair of the product For Radio 4415 (KRC 161 635/1, KRC 161 635/2, KRC 161 760/3, KRC 161 769/3, KRC 161 771/2), it is normally possible to work behind the RBS antenna without any restrictions related to RF EMF exposure if the product is installed so that contributions from other ambient sources (e.g. other RBS products) are not significant and may be neglected. If work needs to be performed within the compliance boundary applicable for workers, the radio equipment shall be powered off, or the power be reduced to a level ensuring that the RF EMF exposure is below the relevant exposure limit for workers. To consider possible contributions from ambient sources (e.g. other RBS products already present on site) or the influence from any reflecting or scattering objects in the vicinity of the product installation, the requirements in EN 50 401 [12] apply. If work is conducted on behalf of Ericsson, minimum EMF related requirements are provided in [13].
