1
|
Status - Resolved |
|
|
To expand the frequency range
of the standard to cover 698 MHz to 6 GHz.
The extension of the lower frequency range is to include the wireless
mobile technologies in 698 MHz band as mandated by recent FCC
Report and Order.
The extension of the upper frequency range up is to include newer
technologies in the bands between 3 - 6 GHz, including the 4.9
GHz band as referenced in the latest FCC Report and Order |
|
|
700 MHz task group has conveyed its recommendations
to the WG. Its changes are reflected in the current draft. |
|
|
|
|
1a
|
Status - TBD |
|
|
a) Design/Testing
and Simulation of Dipoles for the frequency extensions. |
|
|
Some test has been proposed. Needs discussion
and resolution in the WG. |
|
|
|
|
1b
|
Status - Resolved |
|
|
b) Extend calibration range of
test probes from 698 MHz to 6 GHz. |
|
|
Issue refered to WG for IEEE 1309 and NIST Fields
Measurement Group. |
|
|
|
|
2a
|
Status - In progress |
|
|
To provide AWF factors for systems
operating in the 698 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range. |
|
|
WG has agreed to ratain continuity with current
AWF and testing methods using slow response probes as direct measurement
methods are developed.
2 proposals received for an approach to a generalized AWF factor,
one to use A-Weighting and a new weighting function has been proposed
by Steve Julstrom. Issue needs further discussion and resolution
by the WG.
Work is needed to map a direct measurement to the categories in
the current standard and bridge direct measurements to slow probe
measurments. Also AWF's will be needed for slow probes. |
|
|
|
|
2b
|
Status - In progress |
|
|
If possible to develop a generalized
treatment based on A-Weighting or some other appropriate weighting
to replace the AWF table. |
|
|
This issue has been linked with item #2. See
comments under that item. |
|
|
|
|
3
|
Status - In progress |
|
|
Evaluate the requirement in Clause
4, 7 and other appropriate sections for RF H-Field measurements.
|
|
|
Discussion has tended toward retaining the H-Field
measurment but the WG has not made a final resolution on the issue. |
|
|
|
|
4
|
Status - In progress |
|
|
To evaluate the correlation of
hearing aid immunity test results using the dipole and WB TEM
methods and consider the advisability of different field strength
requirements for each of the methods to bring the test methods
into closer agreement. |
|
|
Proposal from HIA received. WG needs to have
further discussion and make a final determination. |
|
|
|
|
5
|
Status - TDB |
|
|
Review and update test equipment
specifications generally, specifically Annex D.3, D.4 and D.7.
|
|
|
Item has been discussed. A volunteer is needed
to take the action to review and propose wording/editing to the
current text. |
|
|
|
|
6
|
Status - TBD |
|
|
To evaluate and possibly improve
the specification of the band pass filter referenced in sub-clauses
6.1.1.1.2 and 3. |
|
|
Item has been discussed. A volunteer is needed
to take the action to review and propose wording/editing to the
current text. |
|
|
|
|
7
|
Status - TBD |
|
|
Determine and specify the power
measurement that is most closely linked to user experience, peak,
RMS or other parameter of power. |
|
|
Item has been discussed. A volunteer is needed
to take the action to review and propose wording/editing to the
current text. |
|
|
|
|
8
|
Status - Resolved |
|
|
Reconsider the need
for 3 T-Coil positions relative to user needs. |
|
|
On March 4, 2008 Telecon WG agreed to use 2 positions,
described as transverse and perpendicular. |
|
|
|
|
9
|
Status - Resolved |
|
|
The RF probe separation distance
is 1.5 cm and the calibration values in table 4.2 were made at
1.0 cm. These calculations need to be redone to the 1.5 cm distance.
|
|
|
Values for 1.5 cm have been presented and placed
in the current draft. |
|
|
|
|
10
|
Status - TBD |
|
|
To combine sub-clauses
"4.4.1.2.1 Manual scanning method" and "4.4.1.2.2 Automated scanning
method" into a single section requiring a positioning resolution
and accuracy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
11
|
Status - TBD |
|
|
To add a 'no RF test'
option for low power transmitters that are almost certain to achieve
category 4 due to their low transmission power. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12
|
Status - In progress |
|
|
To review and adopt
any editorial improvements proposed, including review and update
of references and bibliography. |
|
|
Changes are either brought to WG for consideration
or reflected in draft when proposed. |
