Executive Summary

Comsearch performed a series of Radio Frequency (RF) tests and measurements on behalf of the WMTS Coalition (“the Coalition”) in the Franklin, WI area within the vicinity of the Wheaton Franciscan Hospital. The purpose of these measurements was to determine path loss values related to building losses, and to a lesser extent losses due to land clutter (foliage, buildings, man-made obstructions, etc). The tests were also performed to determine potential for interference into the GE Healthcare Systems (“GEHC”) WMTS system in an attempt to characterize external interference into an installed and operative WMTS system. Comsearch worked with GEHC to identify candidate test transmitter sites. In addition, we worked with GEHC to conduct the measurements, with GEHC taking independent measurement within the WMTS system. GEHC had setup an independent test network in the hospital using transmitterssimulating actual patient usage. GEHC monitored these transmitters during the testing period and will provide results in a separate report.

The measurements were conducted by establishing a test transmit signal at seven locations between 303m and 926m from the hospital. The locations were selected based upon access andthe ability to see the hospital. Comsearch set up a spectrum analyzer at specific locations in thehospital close to WMTS receive antennas to capture receive signal level as close to the WMTSreceive antenna as practical. The measurement results include line-of-sight profiles from each location to the hospital at the height within the hospital of the WMTS antennas. The test transmit signals included both CW and modulated waveforms that simulate typical transmissions from unlicensed devices.

The results indicated that external signals can be measured from the inside of the hospital. Whentaken in conjunction with independent measurements performed by GEHC that it was possible toestablish signals that could interfere with the WMTS system. It was notable that there are greater RF attenuation values of the building materials in the Wheaton Franciscan Hospital than in other buildings where previous test were conducted. This is most likely due to the more recent construction of this structure.

BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Radio frequency tests and measurements were performed on behalf of the WMTS Coalition (“the Coalition”) in the Franklin, WI area within the vicinity of the Wheaton Franciscan Hospital. Comsearch worked with GE Healthcare Systems (“GEHC”) to identify candidate test sites and develop the test plan. In addition, we worked with GEHC to conduct the measurements.

The purpose of these measurements was to determine path loss values related to building losses, and to a lesser extent losses due to land clutter (foliage, buildings, man-made obstructions, etc). Additionally, the tests were performed to determine potential interferenceinto the GE Healthcare Systems WMTS system.

1.2 Background

The Wheaton Franciscan Hospital is currently operating using frequencies in the WMTS Band, 608-614 MHz.

Comsearch has been tasked to perform RF measurements to determine the potential impact of co-channel transmitter systems operating in the same frequency band as current WMTS operations.

GE Healthcare Systems was issued a Special Temporary Authority (STA) for this test under the call sign WI9XAF (copy is attached in Appendix 1). This report documents the results of the field measurements.

1.3 Constraints

The analysis in this report is based on the following assumptions and constraints:

The WMTS system being tested will not interfere with existing hospital operations.

The WMTS system will be operational in a “test mode” simulating normal operatingconditions.

Test sites in the area surrounding the hospital were selected to simulate various levels of path loss.

Signal level measurements from inside the hospital will be measured in easily accessible areas, and not cause interruptions to hospital operations.

TEST PROCEDURE

2.1 Test Equipment

To generate the required signals for the test, a Rohde & Schwarz SMBV100A Vector Signal Generator was used. This signal generator allows for the generation of radio frequency (RF) test signals in either Continuous Wave (CW) or modulated modes. The test set is capable ofgenerating up to +22 dBm. Prior to the on-site testing, a calibrated power meter was used to measure the output of the signal generator to ensure that the displayed power level on the signal generator matched the actual power level at the generator RF port.

The antenna used to transmit the signals generated by the R&S VSG was a Katherine-Scala CL- 1469B. This antenna provides a nominal 10 dB of gain at 470-862 MHz. The antenna was mounted on a tripod to facilitate an approximate centerline of 7 to 8 feet (approximately 2.4 to 2.5 meters) above ground level (AGL). Signal polarity for all tests was vertical.

The antenna for the spectrum analyzer test set used in the hospital was a Shure PA805SWB. This is a wide-band, log periodic style antenna with a nominal gain of 6.5 dBi in the frequency rangeof 470-952 MHz. The antenna was oriented so that it was vertically polarized.

2.2 Calibration

Figure 2.2-1 is the block diagram of the spectrum analyzer test set. All test equipment used was allowed a proper warm-up period prior to calibration. The calibrated reference signal (-60dBm) from the signal generator was then injected into the end of the coaxial cable of the test set at the point which normally connects to the test antenna. An Agilent FieldFox spectrum analyzer then measured the reference test signal level after passing through the test set. Upon completion of the calibration process, a known reference level was obtained for the measurements which correspond to a given set of spectrum analyzer display readings. Figure2.2-2 shows the spectrum photograph of the described calibration procedure employed duringthe band sweep measurements.

The following formula is used to transform the measured signal level as read on the spectrum analyzer display (dBm) to an isotropic reference signal level (dBWI) as seen at the point of test:

dBWI = LI - GA

Where: dBWI = Isotropic level in dBW

LI = Level (dBm) of injected signal

GA = Test antenna gain

at 612.450 MHz: dBWI = -60 dBm – 6.5 dB

= -60.5 dBmI

In this instance, the spectrum analyzer displayed measured signal level of -60 dBmI equates to an injected signal level of -60 dBm and represents an isotropic level of -66.5 dBmI

2.3 Methodology

The purpose of these RF measurements was to determine path loss values related to building losses, and to a lesser extent losses due to land clutter (foliage, buildings, man-made obstructions, etc). The tests were also performed to determine potential for interference into the WMTS system in an attempt to characterize external interference into an installed and operating WMTS system used by the hospital (Wheaton Franciscan) from an external transmitter operating in the WMTS frequencies of 608 to 614 MHz. GEHC had setup up a separate test network of four transmitters simulating devices used in actual operation at the hospital.

A testing signal source was produced by setting up a test transmitter (Rohde & Schwarz SMBV100A) for use in the in the WMTS band. The test transmitter was set to frequencies designated by GEHC to ensure non-interference into existing WMTS operational frequenciesat the hospital. The transmitter was connected to a directional antenna (Kathrein ScalaCL-1469 B) with centerline of 9 feet above ground and pointed toward the hospital fromeach test point. At each test point the HAAT was calculated. Using the calculated HAAT,power density restrictions (FCC 14-144 para.42) and separation distance restrictions (FCC 14-144 para.112) power levels for the test transmitter were calculated for a 6 MHz modulated carrier. These power levels were then translated into values for a 100 kHz modulated carrier and then used to set the RF power level at the signal generator (see table below).

The transmitter was powered up using a CW (carrier wave) signal at the frequency of 612.4500 MHz. The signal at 612.4500 MHz was used because this was outside of the test signals used by the GEHC test network and would not be masked and therefore visible whenpowered on. RF measurements were performed inside the hospital using the receive test set describe in section 2.1 of the test signal which is external to the WMTS system used bythe hospital. Concurrently separate RF measurements were conducted by GEHC using the WMTS distributed antenna system installed in the hospital. Upon direction from the GEHCteam the CW signal was powered off and the transmitter was reconfigured to transmit amodulated (802.x – 64 QAM) 100 kHz signal at 612.4500 MHz. The signal was powered on and RF measurements were then conducted of this test signal as previously described both external and internal to the hospital’s WMTS system. Again upon direction from the GEHCteam the modulated signal was powered off the transmitter was reconfigured to transmit a modulated (802.x – 64 QAM) 100 kHz signal at 612.3375 MHz. The signal at 612.3375 MHz was used as it overlaid the test signals used the GE test network. Once again the signal was powered on and RF measurements were then conducted of this test signal as previously described both external and internal to the hospital’s WMTS system.
