1.5 Simultaneous Transmission Capabilities
According to FCC KDB Publication 447498 D01v06, transmitters are considered to be operating simultaneously
when there is overlapping transmission, with the exception of transmissions during network hand-offs with
maximum hand-off duration less than 30 seconds.

This device contains multiple transmitters that may operate simultaneously, and therefore requires a simultaneous
transmission analysis according to FCC KDB Publication 447498 D01v06 4.3.2 procedures.

Table 1-2
Simultaneous Transmission Scenarios

1. 2.4 GHz WLAN and 2.4 GHz Bluetooth cannot transmit simultaneously.
2. 2.4 GHz WLAN and 5 GHz WLAN cannot transmit simultaneously.
3. This device supports 2x2 MIMO Tx for WLAN. 802.11a/g/n/ac supports CDD and 802.11 n/ac additionally
supports SDM. Each WLAN antenna can transmit independently or together when operating with MIMO.
4. This device supports VoWIFI.

1.6 Miscellaneous SAR Test Considerations


(A) WIFI/BT

The WLAN/Bluetooth chipset in this device is produced by two different suppliers. The electrically identical
modules are manufactured with the identical mechanical structure to meet the same specifications and
functions. Two device variants are referenced as Variant 1 and Variant 2 in this report. WLAN/Bluetooth SAR
worst case configuration was spotchecked on Variant 1 and Variant 2. The Variant with the highest reported
SAR value was evaluated for the remaining WLAN/Bluetooth configurations.

Based on the maximum allowed power for the respective antennas, U-NII-2A was evaluated for Antenna A
and Antenna B SAR. Additional testing for U-NII-1 Antenna A and Antenna B were not required since all
reported SAR was less than 1.2 W/kg per FCC KDB Publication 248227 D01v02r02.

This device supports channel 1-13 for 2.4 GHz WLAN. However, since channels 12 and 13 have equal or less
maximum output power, channels 1, 6, and 11 were considered for SAR testing per KDB 248227 D01v02r02.

This device supports IEEE 802.11ac with the following features:


a) Up to 80 MHz Bandwidth only
b) No aggregate channel configurations
c) 2 Tx antenna output
d) 256 QAM is supported
e) TDWR and Band gap channels are supported

2 INT RODUCT ION

The FCC and Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada have adopted the guidelines for
evaluating the environmental effects of radio frequency (RF) radiation in ET Docket 93-62 on Aug. 6, 1996 and
Health Canada Safety Code 6 to protect the public and workers from the potential hazards of RF emissions due to
FCC-regulated portable devices. [1]

The safety limits used for the environmental evaluation measurements are based on the criteria published by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) in IEEE/ANSI C95.1-
1992 Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3
kHz to 300 GHz [3] and Health Canada RF Exposure Guidelines Safety Code 6 [22]. The measurement
procedure described in IEEE/ANSI C95.3-2002 Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially
Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave [4] is used for guidance in measuring the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) due to the RF radiation exposure from the Equipment Under Test (EUT). These criteria for
SAR evaluation are similar to those recommended by the International Committee for Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) in Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields,”
Report No. Vol 74. SAR is a measure of the rate of energy absorption due to exposure to an RF transmitting
source. SAR values have been related to threshold levels for potential biological hazards.

2.1 SAR Definition


Specific Absorption Rate is defined as the time derivative (rate) of the incremental energy (dU) absorbed by
(dissipated in) an incremental mass (dm) contained in a volume element (dV) of a given density (). It is also
defined as the rate of RF energy absorption per unit mass at a point in an absorbing body (see Equation 2-1).

Equation 2-1
SAR Mathematical Equation

d  dU  d  dU 
SAR =  =  
dt  dm  dt  dv 

SAR is expressed in units of Watts per Kilogram (W/kg).

  E2
SAR =

where:
 = conductivity of the tissue-simulating material (S/m)
 = mass density of the tissue-simulating material (kg/m3)
E = Total RMS electric field strength (V/m)

NOTE: The primary factors that control rate of energy absorption were found to be the wavelength of the incident field in relation to the
dimensions and geometry of the irradiated organism, the orientation of the organism in relation to the polarity of field vect ors, the presence of
reflecting surfaces, and whether conductive contact is made by the organism with a ground plane.[6]

3.1 Measurement Procedure


The evaluation was performed using the following procedure compliant to
FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04 and IEEE 1528-2013:

1. The SAR distribution at the exposed side of the head or body was
measured at a distance no greater than 5.0 mm from the inner surface of
the shell. The area covered the entire dimension of the device-head and
body interface and the horizontal grid resolution was determined per
FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04 (See Table 3-1) and IEEE
1528-2013.
2. The point SAR measurement was taken at the maximum SAR region
determined from Step 1 to enable the monitoring of SAR
fluctuations/drifts during the 1g/10g cube evaluation. SAR at this fixed Figure 3-1 point
was measured and used as a reference value. Sample SAR Area
Scan
3. Based on the area scan data, the peak of the region with maximum SAR was
determined by spline interpolation. Around this point, a volume was assessed according to the measurement
resolution and volume size requirements of FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04 (See Table 3-1) and
IEEE 1528-2013. On the basis of this data set, the spatial peak SAR value was evaluated with the following
procedure (see references or the DASY manual online for more details):
a. SAR values at the inner surface of the phantom are extrapolated from the measured values along the
line away from the surface with spacing no greater than that in Table 3-1. The extrapolation was based on
a least-squares algorithm. A polynomial of the fourth order was calculated through the points in the z-axis
(normal to the phantom shell).
b. After the maximum interpolated values were calculated between the points in the cube, the SAR was
averaged over the spatial volume (1g or 10g) using a 3D-Spline interpolation algorithm. The 3D-spline is
composed of three one-dimensional splines with the “Not a knot” condition (in x, y, and z directions). The
volume was then integrated with the trapezoidal algorithm. One thousand points (10 x 10 x 10) were
obtained through interpolation, in order to calculate the averaged SAR.
c. All neighboring volumes were evaluated until no neighboring volume with a higher average value was
found.
4. The SAR reference value, at the same location as step 2, was re-measured after the zoom scan was complete
to calculate the SAR drift. If the drift deviated by more than 5%, the SAR test and drift measurements were
repeated.

4.2 SAR Testing for Tablet per KDB Publication 616217 D04v01r02
Per FCC KDB Publication 616217 D04v01r02, the back surface and edges of the tablet should be tested for SAR
compliance with the tablet touching the phantom. The SAR Exclusion Threshold in KDB 447498 D01v06 can be
applied to determine SAR test exclusion for adjacent edge configurations. The closest distance from the antenna
to an adjacent tablet edge is used to determine if SAR testing is required for the adjacent edges, with the adjacent
edge positioned against the phantom and the edge containing the antenna positioned perpendicular to the
phantom.

5 RF EXPOSURE L IMIT S

5.1 Uncontrolled Environment

UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS are defined as locations where there is the exposure of individuals who
have no knowledge or control of their exposure. The general population/uncontrolled exposure limits are
applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a
consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise
control over their exposure. Members of the general public would come under this category when exposure is not
employment-related; for example, in the case of a wireless transmitter that exposes persons in its vicinity.

5.2 Controlled Environment


CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS are defined as locations where there is exposure that may be incurred by
persons who are aware of the potential for exposure, (i.e. as a result of employment or occupation). In general,
occupational/controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed as a
consequence of their employment, who have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can
exercise control over their exposure. This exposure category is also applicable when the exposure is of a
transient nature due to incidental passage through a location where the exposure levels may be higher than the
general population/uncontrolled limits, but the exposed person is fully aware of the potential for exposure and can
exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means.

6 FCC MEASUREMENT PROCEDUR ES

6.1 Measured and Reported SAR


Per FCC KDB Publication 447498 D01v06, when SAR is not measured at the maximum power level allowed for
production units, the results must be scaled to the maximum tune-up tolerance limit according to the power
applied to the individual channels tested to determine compliance. For simultaneous transmission, the measured
aggregate SAR must be scaled according to the sum of the differences between the maximum tune-up tolerance
and actual power used to test each transmitter. When SAR is measured at or scaled to the maximum tune-up
tolerance limit, the results are referred to as reported SAR. The highest reported SAR results are identified on the
grant of equipment authorization according to procedures in KDB 690783 D01v01r03.

6.2 SAR Testing with 802.11 Transmitters


The normal network operating configurations of 802.11 transmitters are not suitable for SAR measurements.
Unpredictable fluctuations in network traffic and antenna diversity conditions can introduce undesirable variations
in SAR results. The SAR for these devices should be measured using chipset based test mode software to
ensure the results are consistent and reliable. See KDB Publication 248227 D01v02r02 for more details.
6.2.1 General Device Setup
Chipset based test mode software is hardware dependent and generally varies among manufacturers. The
device operating parameters established in test mode for SAR measurements must be identical to those
programmed in production units, including output power levels, amplifier gain settings and other RF
performance tuning parameters.

A periodic duty factor is required for current generation SAR systems to measure SAR. When 802.11 frame
gaps are accounted for in the transmission, a maximum transmission duty factor of 92 - 96% is typically
achievable in most test mode configurations. A minimum transmission duty factor of 85% is required to avoid
certain hardware and device implementation issues related to wide range SAR scaling. The reported SAR is
scaled to 100% transmission duty factor to determine compliance at the maximum tune-up tolerance limit.

6.2.2 U-NII-1 and U-NII-2A


For devices that operate in both U-NII-1 and U-NII-2A bands, when the same maximum output power is
specified for both bands, SAR measurement using OFDM SAR test procedures is not required for U-NII-1
unless the highest reported SAR for U-NII-2A is > 1.2 W/kg. When different maximum output powers are
specified for the bands, SAR measurement for the U-NII band with the lower maximum output power is not
required unless the highest reported SAR for the U-NII band with the higher maximum output power, adjusted
by the ratio of lower to higher specified maximum output power for the two bands, is > 1.2 W/kg. When 10g
SAR measurement is considered, a factor of 2.5 is applied to the thresholds above.

6.2.3 U-NII-2C and U-NII-3


The frequency range covered by U-NII-2C and U-NII-3 is 380 MHz (5.47 – 5.85 GHz), which requires a
minimum of at least two SAR probe calibration frequency points to support SAR measurements. When
Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) restriction applies, the channels at 5.60 – 5.65 GHz in U-NII-2C
band must be disabled with acceptable mechanisms and documented in the equipment certification. Unless
band gap channels are permanently disabled, SAR must be considered for these channels. Each band is
tested independently according to the normally required OFDM SAR measurement and probe calibration
frequency points requirements.

6.2.4 2.4 GHz SAR Test Requirements
SAR is measured for 2.4 GHz 802.11b DSSS using either the fixed test position or, when applicable, the initial
test position procedure. SAR test reduction is determined according to the following:

1) When the reported SAR of the highest measured maximum output power channel for the exposure
configuration is ≤ 0.8 W/kg, no further SAR testing is required for 802.11b DSSS in that exposure
configuration.

2) When the reported SAR is > 0.8 W/kg, SAR is required for that position using the next highest
measured output power channel. When any reported SAR is > 1.2 W/kg, SAR is required for the third
channel; i.e., all channels require testing.

2.4 GHz 802.11 g/n OFDM are additionally evaluated for SAR if the highest reported SAR for 802.11b,
adjusted by the ratio of the OFDM to DSSS specified maximum output power, is > 1.2 W/kg. When SAR is
required for OFDM modes in 2.4 GHz band, the Initial Test Configuration Procedures should be followed.
When 10g SAR measurement is considered, a factor of 2.5 is applied to the thresholds above.

6.2.5 OFDM Transmission Mode and SAR Test Channel Selection


When the same maximum output power was specified for multiple OFDM transmission mode configurations in
a frequency band or aggregated band, SAR is measured using the configuration with the largest channel
bandwidth, lowest order modulation and lowest data rate. When the maximum output power of a channel is
the same for equivalent OFDM configurations; for example, 802.11a, 802.11n and 802.11ac or 802.11g and
802.11n with the same channel bandwidth, modulation and data rate etc., the lower order 802.11 mode i.e.,
802.11a, then 802.11n and 802.11ac or 802.11g then 802.11n, is used for SAR measurement. When the
maximum output power are the same for multiple test channels, either according to the default or additional
power measurement requirements, SAR is measured using the channel closest to the middle of the frequency
band or aggregated band. When there are multiple channels with the same maximum output power, SAR is
measured using the higher number channel.

6.2.6 Initial Test Configuration Procedure


For OFDM, an initial test configuration is determined for each frequency band and aggregated band,
according to the transmission mode with the highest maximum output power specified for SAR
measurements. When the same maximum output power is specified for multiple OFDM transmission mode
configurations in a frequency band or aggregated band, SAR is measured using the configuration(s) with the
largest channel bandwidth, lowest order modulation, lowest data rate and lowest order IEEE 802.11 mode.
The channel of the transmission mode with the highest average RF output conducted power will be the initial
test configuration.

When the reported SAR is ≤ 0.8 W/kg, no additional measurements on other test channels are required.
Otherwise, SAR is evaluated using the subsequent highest average RF output channel until the reported SAR
result is ≤ 1.2 W/kg or all channels are measured. When there are multiple untested channels having the
same subsequent highest average RF output power, the channel with higher frequency from the lowest
802.11 mode is considered for SAR measurements (See Section 6.2.5). When 10g SAR measurement is
considered, a factor of 2.5 is applied to the thresholds above.

6.2.7 Subsequent Test Configuration Procedures


For OFDM configurations in each frequency band and aggregated band, SAR is evaluated for initial test
configuration using the fixed test position or the initial test position procedure. When the highest reported SAR
(for the initial test configuration), adjusted by the ratio of the specified maximum output power of the

subsequent test configurations are required. When 10g SAR measurement is considered, a factor of 2.5 is
applied to the thresholds above.

6.2.8 MIMO SAR considerations


Per KDB Publication 248227 D01v02r02, the simultaneous SAR provisions in KDB Publication 447498
D01v06 should be applied to determine simultaneous transmission SAR test exclusion for WIFI MIMO. If the
sum of 1g single transmission chain SAR measurements is <1.6 W/kg, no additional SAR measurements for
MIMO are required. Alternatively, SAR for MIMO can be measured with all antennas transmitting
simultaneously at the specified maximum output power of MIMO operation. When 10g SAR measurement is
considered, a factor of 2.5 is applied to the thresholds above.

7.1.3 Notes for WLAN

Justification for test configurations for WLAN per KDB Publication 248227 D01v02r02:
• Power measurements were performed for the transmission mode configuration with the highest maximum
output power specified for production units.
• For transmission modes with the same maximum output power specification, powers were measured for
the largest channel bandwidth, lowest order modulation and lowest data rate.
• For transmission modes with identical maximum specified output power, channel bandwidth, modulation
and data rates, power measurements were required for all identical configurations.
• For each transmission mode configuration, powers were measured for the highest and lowest channels;
and at the mid-band channel(s) when there were at least 3 channels supported. For configurations with
multiple mid-band channels, due to an even number of channels, both channels were measured.
• The bolded data rate and channel above were tested for SAR.

The above measured tissue parameters were used in the DASY software. The DASY software was used to
perform interpolation to determine the dielectric parameters at the SAR test device frequencies (per KDB
Publication 865664 D01v01r04 and IEEE 1528-2013 6.6.1.2). The tissue parameters listed in the SAR test plots
may slightly differ from the table above due to significant digit rounding in the software.

9.2 SAR Test Notes


General Notes:
1. The test data reported are the worst-case SAR values according to test procedures specified in FCC KDB
Publication 616217 D04v01r02 and FCC KDB Publication 447498 D01v06.
2. Batteries are fully charged at the beginning of the SAR measurements.
3. Liquid tissue depth was at least 15.0 cm for all frequencies.
4. The manufacturer has confirmed that the device(s) tested have the same physical, mechanical and
thermal characteristics and are within operational tolerances expected for production units.
5. SAR results were scaled to the maximum allowed power to demonstrate compliance per FCC KDB
Publication 447498 D01v06.
6. Per FCC KDB 865664 D01v01r04, variability SAR tests were performed when the measured SAR results
for a frequency band were greater than or equal to 0.8 W/kg. Repeated SAR measurements are
highlighted in the tables above for clarity. Please see Section 11 for variability analysis.
7. FCC KDB Publication 616217 D04v01r02 Section 4.3, SAR tests are required for the back surface and
edges of the tablet with the tablet touching the phantom. The SAR Exclusion Threshold in FCC KDB
447498 D01v06 was applied to determine SAR test exclusion for adjacent edge configurations.
8. This device utilizes power reduction for some wireless modes and technologies, as outlined in Section
1.2. The maximum output power allowed for each transmitter and exposure condition was evaluated for
SAR compliance based on expected use conditions and simultaneous transmission scenarios.

WLAN Notes:
1. Justification for test configurations for WLAN per KDB Publication 248227 D01v02r02 for 2.4 GHz WIFI
single transmission chain operations, the highest measured maximum output power channel for DSSS
was selected for SAR measurement. SAR for OFDM modes (2.4 GHz 802.11g/n) was not required due to
the maximum allowed powers and the highest reported DSSS SAR. See Section 6.2.4 for more
information.
2. Justification for test configurations for WLAN per KDB Publication 248227 D01v02r02 for 5 GHz WIFI
single transmission chain operations, the initial test configuration was selected according to the
transmission mode with the highest maximum allowed powers. Other transmission modes were not
investigated since the highest reported SAR for initial test configuration adjusted by the ratio of maximum
output powers is less than 1.2 W/kg for 1g evaluations. See Section 6.2.5 for more information.
3. Per KDB Publication 248227 D01v02r02, SAR for MIMO was evaluated by following the simultaneous
SAR provisions from KDB Publication 447498 D01v06 by either evaluating the sum of the 1g SAR values
of each antenna transmitting independently or making a SAR measurement with both antennas
transmitting simultaneously. Please see Section 10 for complete analysis.
4. When the maximum reported 1g averaged SAR is ≤0.8 W/kg, SAR testing on additional channels was not
required. Otherwise, SAR for the next highest output power channel was required until the reported SAR
result was ≤ 1.20 W/kg for 1g evaluations or all test channels were measured.
5. The device was configured to transmit continuously at the required data rate, channel bandwidth and
signal modulation, using the highest transmission duty factor supported by the test mode tools. The
reported SAR was scaled to the 100% transmission duty factor to determine compliance. Procedures
used to measure the duty factor are identical to that in the associated EMC test reports.

Bluetooth Notes
1. Bluetooth SAR was measured with a test mode with hopping disabled with DH5 operation. The reported
SAR was scaled to the 77.5% transmission duty factor to determine compliance since the duty factor of
the device is limited to 77.5% per the manufacturer. See Section 7.3 for the time domain plot and
calculation for the duty factor of the device.

10 FCC MULT I-T X AND ANT ENNA SAR CO NSIDERAT IO NS

10.1 Introduction
The following procedures adopted from FCC KDB Publication 447498 D01v06 are applicable to devices with built-
in unlicensed transmitters such as 802.11 and Bluetooth devices which may simultaneously transmit together.

10.2 Simultaneous Transmission Procedures


This device contains transmitters that may operate simultaneously. Therefore, simultaneous transmission analysis
is required. Per FCC KDB Publication 447498 D01v06 4.3.2 and IEEE 1528-2013 Section 6.3.4.1.2, simultaneous
transmission SAR test exclusion may be applied when the sum of the 1g SAR for all the simultaneous transmitting
antennas in a specific a physical test configuration is ≤1.6 W/kg. The different test positions in an exposure
condition may be considered collectively to determine SAR test exclusion according to the sum of 1g or 10g SAR.

Note:
** The SAR distributions for at least one of the antennas are spatially separated from the other antennas per FCC
KDB Publication 248227 Section 6.1 procedures. Therefore, the simultaneous transmissions were treated
independently for this configuration. See Section 10.4 for more information about the Spatial Separation Analysis.

Note: (*) When the antenna separation distance was > 50 mm, an estimated SAR of 0.4 W/kg was used to
determine the simultaneous transmission SAR exclusion for test positions excluded per FCC KDB
Publication 447498D01v06. The simultaneous SAR sum using this estimation are highlighted in gray.

10.4 Spatial Separation Analysis


Per FCC KDB Publication 248227, antennas may be considered spatially separated when the aggregate SAR
from multiple antennas at any location in the combined SAR distribution is either ≤ 1.2 W/kg where at least 90% of
the SAR is attributed to a single SAR distribution or ≤ 0.4 W/kg where no more than one SAR distribution is
contributing > 0.1 W/kg.

Spatial separation was determined by inspection of the area scan SAR distributions to confirm that at all locations,
SAR was < 1.2 W/kg, where at least 90% of the SAR is attributed to a single SAR distribution. See below for
illustrations of the spatial separated antennas considered.

10.5 Simultaneous Transmission Conclusion


The above numerical summed SAR results and spatial separation analysis for all the worst-case simultaneous
transmission conditions were below the SAR limit. Therefore, the above analysis is sufficient to determine that
simultaneous transmission cases will not exceed the SAR limit and therefore no measured volumetric
simultaneous SAR summation is required per FCC KDB Publication 447498 D01v06 and IEEE 1528-2013

11 SAR MEASUREMENT VARI ABIL IT Y

11.1 Measurement Variability

Per FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04, SAR measurement variability was assessed for each frequency
band, which was determined by the SAR probe calibration point and tissue-equivalent medium used for the
device measurements. When both head and body tissue-equivalent media were required for SAR measurements
in a frequency band, the variability measurement procedures were applied to the tissue medium with the highest
measured SAR, using the highest measured SAR configuration for that tissue-equivalent medium. These
additional measurements were repeated after the completion of all measurements requiring the same head or
body tissue-equivalent medium in a frequency band. The test device was returned to ambient conditions (normal
room temperature) with the battery fully charged before it was re-mounted on the device holder for the repeated
measurement(s) to minimize any unexpected variations in the repeated results.

SAR Measurement Variability was assessed using the following procedures for each frequency band:
1) When the original highest measured SAR is ≥ 0.80 W/kg, the measurement was repeated once.
2) A second repeated measurement was performed only if the ratio of largest to smallest SAR for the
original and first repeated measurements was > 1.20 or when the original or repeated measurement was
≥ 1.45 W/kg (~ 10% from the 1g SAR limit).
3) A third repeated measurement was performed only if the original, first or second repeated measurement
was ≥ 1.5 W/kg and the ratio of largest to smallest SAR for the original, first and second repeated
measurements is > 1.20.
4) Repeated measurements are not required when the original highest measured SAR is < 0.80 W/kg

The measured SAR was <1.5 W/kg for 1g for all frequency bands. Therefore, per KDB Publication 865664
D01v01r04, the extended measurement uncertainty analysis per IEEE 1528-2013 was not required.

Note: CBT (Calibrated Before Testing). Prior to testing, the measurement paths containing a cable, amplifier, attenuator, coupler or filter were
connected to a calibrated source (i.e. a signal generator) to determine the losses of the measurement path. The power meter offset was then
adjusted to compensate for the measurement system losses. This level offset is stored within the power meter before measurements are
made. This calibration verification procedure applies to the system verification and output power measurements. The calibrated reading is
then taken directly from the power meter after compensation of the losses for all final power measurements. Each equipment item was used
solely within its respective calibration period.

14 CONCLUSION

14.1 Measurement Conclusion


The SAR evaluation indicates that the EUT complies with the RF radiation exposure limits of the FCC and
Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada, with respect to all parameters subject to this test.
These measurements were taken to simulate the RF effects of RF exposure under worst-case conditions. Precise
laboratory measures were taken to assure repeatability of the tests. The results and statements relate only to the
item(s) tested.

Please note that the absorption and distribution of electromagnetic energy in the body are very complex
phenomena that depend on the mass, shape, and size of the body, the orientation of the body with respect to the
field vectors, and the electrical properties of both the body and the environment. Other variables that may play a
substantial role in possible biological effects are those that characterize the environment (e.g. ambient
temperature, air velocity, relative humidity, and body insulation) and those that characterize the individual (e.g.
age, gender, activity level, debilitation, or disease). Because various factors may interact with one another to vary
the specific biological outcome of an exposure to electromagnetic fields, any protection guide should consider
maximal amplification of biological effects as a result of field-body interactions, environmental conditions, and
physiological variables. [3]

APPENDIX D: SAR T ISSUE SPECIF ICAT IO N S

Measurement Procedure for Tissue verification:


1) The network analyzer and probe system was configured and calibrated.
2) The probe was immersed in the tissue. The tissue was placed in a nonmetallic container.
Trapped air bubbles beneath the flange were minimized by placing the probe at a slight angle.
3) The complex admittance with respect to the probe aperture was measured
4) The complex relative permittivity ε’ can be calculated from the below equation (Pournaropoulos
and Misra):
j 2 r  0 b b  

APPENDIX E: SAR SYSTEM VALIDATION

Per FCC KDB Publication 865664 D02v01r02, SAR system validation status should be documented to confirm
measurement accuracy. The SAR systems (including SAR probes, system components and software versions)
used for this device were validated against its performance specifications prior to the SAR measurements.
Reference dipoles were used with the required tissue- equivalent media for system validation, according to the
procedures outlined in FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04 and IEEE 1528-2013. Since SAR probe
calibrations are frequency dependent, each probe calibration point was validated at a frequency within the valid
frequency range of the probe calibration point, using the system that normally operates with the probe for routine
SAR measurements and according to the required tissue-equivalent media.

A tabulated summary of the system validation status including the validation date(s), measurement frequencies,
SAR probes and tissue dielectric parameters has been included.

NOTE: While the probes have been calibrated for both CW and modulated signals, all measurements were
performed using communication systems calibrated for CW signals only. Modulations in the table above represent
test configurations for which the measurement system has been validated per FCC KDB Publication 865664
D01v01r04 for scenarios when CW probe calibrations are used with other signal types. SAR systems were
validated for modulated signals with a periodic duty cycle, such as GMSK, or with a high peak to average ratio (>5
dB), such as OFDM according to FCC KDB Publication 865664 D01v01r04.
