Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Guidelines

Portable RF exposure evaluation must be completed on host devices that provide ≤ 20.0 cm
of separation distance between the transmitter antenna and the end user.

Portable Device Definition

The FCC defines a Portable Device as a device having a transmitting antenna located at a
distance ≤ 20cm from the user.

Mobile Device Definition

The FCC defines a Mobile Device as a device having a transmitting antenna located at a
distance ≥ 20cm from the user.

SAR Compliance

European and US certification bodies require that you test Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
SAR is a measure of energy absorbed by organic tissue over a specific time. The factors that
affect SAR readings are:

l output power
l frequency of the radiation
l proximity to antenna
l antenna counterpoise
l duty cycle

Early in the physical design stage of the UE, the antenna and the mechanical engineering
design teams must collaborate on the design to ensure that they can meet the SAR
requirements. Carefully reading and understanding the FCC requirements can help designers
choose the antenna type, the antenna location, and the industrial design of the UE. The
placement and characteristics of the main antenna are the most critical factors affecting SAR
performance.

Tune Up Procedures

Tune Up Procedure

19 novatelwireless.com

Tune Up Procedure

During manufacturing each device will be individually calibrated. Measurement is performed
in a fully calibrated environment using an CMW500 base station simulator. The measurement
procedure is outlined below:

Measurement Procedure:

1. Set the device to operational voltage and on a predefined channel in a special test
mode.

2. The actual output power is measured at several power levels.

3. The gain factors of each individual device are adjusted until the target value is met. The
appropriate gain control settings for each output power level are stored in each device
individually (for each power level). The user has no possibility to change these settings
later on.

4. The maximum gains of each individual device are adjusted and measured until the
target value is met. The production target power with tolerance compiles with the
maximum power in test report.
