Set up cellular service on iPhone The cellular connection on your iPhone requires a SIM from a carrier; contact your carrier to set up a cellular plan. Supported models of iPhone can connect to 5G networks. See the Apple Support article Use 5G with your iPhone. Your iPhone can connect to a carrier network using a physical nano-SIM. iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and later support Dual SIM using one physical nano-SIM and one eSIM (not available in all countries or regions). Here are some of the many ways you can use Dual SIM:

Use one number for business and another number for personal calls. Add a local data plan when you travel to another country or region. Have separate voice and data plans. Note: To use two different carriers, your iPhone must be unlocked. Install a physical nano-SIM Draft 1. Insert a paper clip or SIM eject tool into the small hole of the SIM tray, then push in toward iPhone to eject the tray. Note: The shape and orientation of the SIM tray depend on the iPhone model and your country or region. 2. Remove the tray from iPhone. 3. Place the nano-SIM in the tray. The angled corner determines the correct orientation. 4. Insert the tray back into iPhone. 5. If you previously set up a PIN on the nano-SIM, carefully enter the PIN when prompted. WARNING: Never try to guess a SIM PIN. An incorrect guess can permanently lock your SIM, and you wont be able to make phone calls or use cellular data through your carrier until you get a new SIM. See the Apple Support article Use a SIM PIN for your iPhone or iPad. Draft Set up your cellular plan with eSIM iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and later can digitally store an eSIM provided by your carrier. 1.

Go to the App Store, download your carriers app, then use the app to activate a cellular plan. You can store more than one eSIM on your iPhone, but you can use only one eSIM at a time. To switch eSIMs, go to Settings > Cellular, tap the plan you want to use, then tap Turn On This Line. If you have a nano-SIM, you can use it as your second line. Dual SIM works only if you have one physical SIM and one eSIM installed in your iPhone. See the Apple Support article Using Dual SIM with an eSIM. Manage your cellular plans for Dual SIM During setup on models with Dual SIM, you can choose how iPhone uses each line. To change the settings later, do the following:

1. Go to Settings

> Cellular. Draft 2. Do the following:

Tap Cellular Data, then choose a default line. To allow iPhone to use either line depending on coverage and availability, turn on Allow Cellular Data Switching. You may incur roaming charges if Data Roaming is on and youre outside the country or region covered by the carriers network. Tap Default Voice Line, then choose a line. Below Cellular Plans, tap a line, then change settings such as Cellular Plan Label, Wi-Fi Calling

(if available from your carrier), Calls on Other Devices, or SIM PIN. The label appears in Phone, Messages, and Contacts. When using Dual SIM, note the following:

Wi-Fi Calling must be turned on for a line to enable that line to receive calls while the other line is in use for a call. If you receive a call on one line while the other is in use for a call, and no Wi-Fi connection is available, iPhone uses the cellular data of the line that is in use for the call to receive the other lines call. Charges may apply. The line that is in use for the call must be permitted for data use in your Cellular Data settings (either as the default line, or as the non-default line with Allow Cellular Data Switching turned on) to receive the other lines call. If you dont turn on Wi-Fi Calling for a line, any incoming phone calls on that line (including calls from emergency services) go directly to voicemail (if available from your carrier) when the other line is in use; you wont receive missed call notifications. If you set up conditional call forwarding (if available from your carrier) from one line to another when a line is busy or not in service, the calls dont go to voicemail; contact your carrier for setup information. If you make a phone call from another device, such as your Mac, by relaying it through your iPhone with Dual SIM, the call is made using your default voice line. If you start an SMS/MMS Messages conversation using one line, you cant switch the conversation to your other line; you need to delete the conversation and start a new conversation using the other line. Also, you may incur additional charges if you send SMS/MMS attachments on the line thats not selected for cellular data. Instant Hotspot and Personal Hotspot use the line selected for cellular data. Important: A SIM may be required to use cellular services when connecting to GSM networks and some CDMA networks. An iPhone activated on a CDMA wireless network can also use the SIM for connecting to a GSM network, primarily for international roaming. Your iPhone is subject to your wireless service providers policies, which may include restrictions on switching service providers and roaming, even after the conclusion of any required minimum service contract. Contact your wireless service provider for more details. The availability of cellular capabilities depends on the wireless network, your iPhone model, and your location. Draft Consider applicable data, voice, and roaming charges when managing your cellular plans, especially when you travel with iPhone. See View or change cellular data settings on iPhone. Some carriers let you unlock iPhone for use with another carrier (additional fees may apply). Contact your carrier for authorization and setup information.

Important information about emergency calls on iPhone You can use iPhone to make an emergency call in many locations, provided that cellular service is available, but you should not rely on it for emergencies. Some cellular networks may not accept an emergency call from iPhone if iPhone isnt activated, if iPhone isnt compatible with or configured to operate on a particular cellular network, or (when applicable) if iPhone doesnt have a SIM card or the SIM card is PIN-locked. In certain countries or regions, your location information (if determinable) may be accessed by emergency service providers when you make an emergency call. Review your carriers emergency calling information to understand the limits of emergency calling over Wi-Fi. With CDMA, when an emergency call ends, iPhone enters emergency call mode for a few minutes to allow a call back from emergency services. During this time, data transmission and text messages are blocked. After making an emergency call, certain call features that block or silence incoming calls may be disabled for a short period of time to allow a callback from emergency services. These include Do Not Disturb, Silence Unknown Callers, and Screen Time. On an iPhone with Dual SIM, if you dont turn on Wi-Fi Calling for a line, any incoming phone calls on that line (including calls from emergency services) go directly to voicemail (if available from your carrier) when the other line is in use; you wont receive missed call notifications. If you set up conditional call forwarding (if available from your carrier) from one line to another when a line is busy or not in service, the calls dont go to voicemail; contact your carrier for setup information.

The FCC hearing aid compatibility rules require that certain phones be tested and rated under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19 hearing aid compatibility standards. The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:

M: For reduced radio-frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling with hearing aids that dont operate in telecoil mode T: For inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode These ratings are given on a scale from one to four, where four is the most compatible. A phone is considered hearing aid compatible under the FCC requirements if its rated M3 or M4 for acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling. For iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, see the Apple Support article About Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements for iPhone. Hearing aid compatibility ratings arent a guarantee that a particular hearing aid works well with a particular phone. Some hearing aids might work well with phones that do not meet the FCC requirements for hearing aid compatibility.

Protect your accounts Keep your Apple ID secure on iPhone Your Apple ID is the account you use to access Apple services like the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and more. Your account includes the email address and password you use to sign in as well as the contact, payment, and security details you use across Apple services. Apple employs industry-standard practices to safeguard your Apple ID. Draft Best practices for maximizing the security of your Apple ID Dont share your Apple ID with other people, even family members. (You can name one or more people you trust as Account Recovery Contacts to help you regain access to your account if you ever get locked out.) To share purchases, subscriptions, a family calendar, and more without sharing Apple IDs, set up Family Sharing. Never provide your password, security questions, verification codes, recovery key, or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information. When accessing your Apple ID account page in Safari or another web browser, look for the lock icon in the address field to verify that your session is encrypted and secure. When using a public computer, always sign out when your session is complete to prevent other people from accessing your account. Avoid phishing scams. Dont click links in suspicious email or text messages and never provide personal information on any website you arent certain is legitimate. See the Apple Support article Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams. Dont use your password with other online accounts. Let two-factor authentication protect your account. If you create a new Apple ID on a device with iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, macOS 10.15.4, or later, your account automatically uses two-factor authentication. If you previously created an Apple ID account without two-factor authentication, turn on two-factor authentication. See Manage two-factor authentication for your Apple ID from iPhone. Add Account Recovery Contacts Choose one or more people you trust as Account Recovery Contacts to help you reset your Apple ID password and regain access to your account if you ever forget your password or get locked out. Go to Settings Contact, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Sign in with Apple on iPhone With Sign in with Apple, you can sign in to participating apps and websites with your Apple ID. You dont need to create and remember new passwords, and your account is protected with two-factor authentication. Sign in with Apple is designed to respect your privacy. Apps and websites can ask only for your name and email address to set up your account, and Apple wont track you as you use them. Set up or upgrade an account to Sign in with Apple When a participating app or website asks you to set up or upgrade an account, do the following:

1. Tap Sign in with Apple. 2. Follow the onscreen instructions. Draft Some apps (and websites) dont request your name and email address. In this case, you simply authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID (depending on your model), then start using the app. Others may ask for your name and email address to set up a personalized account. When an app asks for this information, Sign in with Apple displays your name and the personal email address from your Apple ID account for you to review. To edit your name, tap it, then use the keyboard to make changes. To specify an email address, do one of the following:

Use your personal email address: Tap Share My Email. If you have multiple email addresses associated with your Apple ID, choose the address you want. Hide your email address: Tap Hide My Email. This option allows you to receive email from the app without sharing your personal email address. When you choose this option, Apple creates a unique, random email address for you, and any email sent from the app to this address is forwarded to your personal address. After you review your information and choose an email option, tap Continue, authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID (depending on your model), then start using the app. Draft Sign in to access your account After you set up an account with an app or website using Sign in with Apple, you typically dont need to sign in to it again on your iPhone. But if youre asked to sign in (for example, after you sign out of an account), do the following:

1. Tap Sign in with Apple. 2. Review the Apple ID that appears, then tap Continue. 3. Authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID (depending on your model). Change the address used to forward email If you chose to hide your email address when you created an account and you have more than one address associated with your Apple ID, you can change the address that receives your forwarded email. 1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Name, Phone Numbers, Email > Forward To. 2. Choose a different email address, then tap Done. Change Sign in with Apple settings for an app or website 1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Password and Security. 2. Tap Apps Using Your Apple ID. 3. Choose an app, then do either of the following:

For more information, see the Apple Support article What is Sign in with Apple?. Draft Automatically fill in strong passwords on iPhone When you sign up for services on websites and in apps, you can let iPhone create strong passwords for many of your accounts. iPhone stores the passwords in iCloud Keychain and fills them in for you automatically, so you dont have to memorize them. Note: Instead of creating an account and password, use Sign in with Apple when a participating app or website invites you to set up an account. Sign in with Apple uses the Apple ID you already have, and it limits the information shared about you. Create a strong password for a new account 1. On the new account screen for the website or app, enter a new account name. For supported websites and apps, iPhone suggests a unique, complex password. 2. Do one of the following:

Choose the suggested password: Tap Use Strong Password. Make up your own password: Tap Choose My Own Password. 3. To later allow iPhone to automatically fill in the password for you, tap Yes when youre asked if you want to save the password.

Tap Change Password, then change your password on the website or in the app. If the website or app allows you to upgrade to Sign in with Apple, you can take advantage of the security and convenience of that feature. If you arent given the upgrade option when you change your password, for many accounts you can let iPhone automatically create a strong password that you dont have to remember. Note: The Delete Password button allows you to remove the password from your iCloud Keychain only. It doesnt remove the weak password from your website or app account. iPhone also securely monitors your passwords and alerts you if they appear in known data leaks. If you dont want iPhone to perform this monitoring, go to Settings > Passwords > Security Recommendations, then turn off Detect Compromised Passwords. If iPhone warns you of a weak password for a website or app that is no longer available, you can remove the account from your iCloud Keychain.

Manage two-factor authentication for your Apple ID from iPhone Two-factor authentication helps prevent others from accessing your Apple ID account, even if they know your Apple ID password. Two-factor authentication is built into iOS 9, iPadOS 13, OS X 10.11, or later. Certain features in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS require the security of two-factor authentication, which is designed to protect your information. If you create a new Apple ID on a device with iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, macOS 10.15.4, or later, your account automatically uses two-factor authentication. If you previously created an Apple ID account without two-factor authentication, you can turn on its extra layer of security at any time. Note: Certain account types may be ineligible for two-factor authentication at the discretion of Apple. Two-factor authentication isnt available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of two-factor authentication for Apple ID. For information about how two-factor authentication works, see the Apple Support article Two-factor authentication for Apple ID. Turn on two-factor authentication name] > Password & Security. 1.

To turn it off, open your confirmation email and click the link to return to your previous security settings. Keep in mind that turning off two-factor authentication makes your account less secure and means you cant use features that require a higher level of security. Note: If you use two-step verification and upgrade to iOS 13 or later, your account might be migrated to use two-factor authentication. See the Apple Support article Two-step verification for Apple ID. Add another device as a trusted device A trusted device is one that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser. A trusted device must meet these minimum system requirements: iOS 9, iPadOS 13, or OS X 10.11. 1. After you turn on two-factor authentication on one device, sign in with the same Apple ID on another device. 2. When youre asked to enter a six-digit verification code, do one of the following:

Important handling information for iPhone Cleaning Clean iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause stains, or other damagefor example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, or lotions. To clean:

Disconnect all cables, then do one of the following to turn off iPhone:

On an iPhone with Face ID: Simultaneously press and hold the side button and either volume button until the sliders appear, then drag the top slider. On an iPhone with a Home button: Press and hold the side button or Sleep/Wake button

(depending on your model), then drag the slider. All models: Go to Settings

> General > Shut Down, then drag the slider. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free clothfor example, a lens cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Dont use cleaning products or compressed air. iPhone has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic (oil-repellant) coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will further diminish the coating and may scratch iPhone. Exposure to liquid and dust If liquid splashes on iPhone or dust gets on it, wipe it off with a soft, lint-

free cloth (for example, a lens cloth) and ensure that your iPhone is dry and free of dust before opening the SIM tray. Minimize exposing iPhone to soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, and any liquidsfor example, salt water, soapy water, pool water, perfume, insect repellent, lotion, sunscreen, oil, adhesive remover, hair dye, and solvents. If iPhone comes into contact with any of these substances, follow the instructions above in the Cleaning section. Supported models are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of either IP68 or IP67 under IEC standard 60529. Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Liquid damage not covered under warranty. See the Apple Support article About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later. To prevent liquid damage on iPhone, avoid the following:

Swimming or bathing with iPhone Exposing iPhone to pressurized water or high velocity water, such as when showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and so on Using iPhone in a sauna or steam room Intentionally submerging iPhone in water Draft Operating iPhone outside the suggested temperature ranges or in extremely humid conditions Dropping iPhone or subjecting it to other impacts Disassembling iPhone, including removing screws If your iPhone has been exposed to liquid, unplug all cables and do not charge your device until its completely dry. Using accessories or charging when wet may damage your iPhone. Allow at least 5 hours before charging or connecting a Lightning accessory.

Placing the device in front of a fan blowing cool air directly into the Lightning connector may help the drying process. Do not dry your iPhone using an external heat source or insert a foreign object into the Lightning connector such as a cotton swab or a paper towel. Using connectors, ports, and buttons Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. If the connector and port dont join with reasonable ease, they probably dont match. Check for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port. Lightning to USB Cable or USB-C to Lightning Cable Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular use is normal. Dirt, debris, and exposure to moisture may cause discoloration. If your Lightning cable or connector becomes warm during use or iPhone wont charge or sync, disconnect it from your computer or power adapter and clean the Lightning connector with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector. Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The included cable, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable. Regularly inspect the cable and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage. Should you find any such damage, discontinue use of the cable.

The same justifications and rationale have been applied to these C2PC applications. Output power is the same or lower as the LTE Band 48 operations originally approved. Time Averaging SAR validation tests (Part 2 Dynamic power assessment) are not required to support equipment certification as the output power and power reduction for band n48 are not as large as 5GNR bands previously tested and therefore the validation is covered by the 5GNR testing in the original filing.

For LTE / 5GNR User equipment (UE) will not initiate transmissions and will only transmit after receiving the Node

B (Base Station) device transmissions containing the Master Information Block (MIB) and System Information

Block (SIB) necessary for it to join the network. Therefore, transmissions on non-allocated US bands cannot

occur because there cannot be a Node B device operating on non-US bands in the USA / US Territories. Similar

protocols are followed for 2G and 3G to ensure that the device will not transmit on bands it supports but are not

covered by US allocation.

To whom it may concern:

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission’s rules (47 CFR

§§ 0.457, 0.459), Apple Inc. hereby requests confidential treatment for documents filed

with the Commission in connection with the application for equipment authorization

referenced above.

Permanent Confidentiality

Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public

viewing indefinitely:

• Block Diagrams

• Electrical Schematic Diagrams

• Technical Descriptions, Product Specifications

• Antenna Gain, Antenna Locations

• Tune-up Procedure

• Software Security Description

These documents reveal detailed technical and design information that is protected by

Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been

disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed

to the public even after commercial release of a device. As a result, disclosure of this

information by the Commission would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair

advantage even after commercial release of the device.

Short Term Confidentiality

In addition to the above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of

the Commission’s policy, in order to comply with the marketing regulations in 47 CFR

§2.803 and the importation rules in 47 CFR §2.1204, while ensuring that business sensitive

information remains confidential until the actual marketing of newly authorized devices,

Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public

viewing for one hundred eighty days after the date the grant of equipment authorization is

issued:

• External Photographs

•

Internal Photographs

• Test Setup Photographs

• User Manual

Apple Inc.

One Apple Park Way



These documents reveal technical and design information that has not been publicly

disclosed in marketing materials and is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and

proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to maintain

its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed publicly prior to the commercial release

of the device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the Commission prior to

commercial release would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair market

advantage. Apple Inc. believes the period of confidentiality requested is necessary to

protect the information until the commercial release of a device.

It is our understanding that measurement test reports and FCC ID label format cannot be

granted as confidential documents and this information will be available for public review

once the grant of equipment authorization is issued.

SETTING OF THE T-COIL AUDIO GAIN LEVEL General This technical note shows the steps for finding the correct settings and gain levels in the T-Coil jobs when used within DASY software. In addition, numerical examples are given as well. Please note that some values depend on the used instruments (AMMI, CMU200) and thus need modification / recalculation for each setup. This document comes with an accompanying Excel sheet which can be used to calculate the level [5]. For instructions related to VoLTE and VoWLAN please refer to [6] and [7]

For HAC T-coil tests, the speech level shall be set to a level of -16 or -18 dBm0 according to [1] Section 7.4.2.1 Reference input level, table 7.1, [2], [3]. For protocols not listed in [1] a level of -20 dBm0 should be used according to [4]. References:

Description of the hardware setup T-Coil calibration job for AMMI in the setup with AMCC and the AM1D probe T-Coil reference jobs for all signals to be used, with the AMCC connected to the AMMI The gain level determination to obtain a specific level in dBm0 with R&S CMU200 The gain level determination to obtain a specific level in dBm0 with other calibrated simulators Thee gain level calculation per signal type and dBm0 level needed Setting of gain levels, verification of plausibility and settings and voice signal at the speaker Hardware Setup Hardware setup (AMMI, AMCC, AM1DVx probe) shall be as described in DASY manual chapter HAC T-

Coil. The base station simulator must be equipped with the required audio options to establish a voice call in the desired operating mode. (RF settings are not part of this document. Please consult the base station simulator manual for further details on this requirement). Cables to connect the analog speech signal from AMMI Audio Out (BNC) to the simulator input must be available. For CMU200, the input connector is a D-sub type with inputs and outputs for codecs LH1 and LH2;

for most other simulators e.g. CMW500, standard BNC connectors are used. Connection to AMMI Coil In can be done via a BNC-XLR adapter if required. Doc No: TN-LK-180405-B_T-Coil_Levels page 1 (9) Below diagram is showing setup of AMMI for Coil In signal RMS readings:

Probe In AMCC T-Coil job settings within DASY software for Coil In RMS readings shall be as follows:

Select signal Gain ( 100; avoid clipping) Timing: duration / start delay / window length

(e.g. 12000 / 2000 / 10000 ms) Enable Use as reference Enable Signal T-Coil calibration job for AMMI in the setup with AMCC and the AM1DVx probe Run a T-Coil calibration job:

Verify the plausibility of the results before continuing. Below figure shows typical calibration job result for AM1DV2 probe. After this job, the AMMI Coil In is calibrated to read the RMS voltage. Signal: Calibration Timing: 7000 / 2000 / 5000 ms Grid anchor: User point AMCC Center Internal calibration factor: Coil: approx. 2.3, Probe:

approx. 1.15 Coil spectrum (green line): nearly straight line, at 33 dB for gain 100, decay < 0.5 dB @ 10 kHz Probe spectrum (blue line): parallel to coil line, decay 0.9 dB larger Probe sensitivity: close to probe calibration value Doc No: TN-LK-180405-B_T-Coil_Levels page 2 (9) T-Coil reference job for all signals to be used, with the AMCC connected to the AMMI With the AMCC connected to AMMI Coil In, run a set of T-Coil Reference jobs with all signals needed, including the internal 1 kHz sine signal. These measurements with the settings use as reference are needed in the initial T-Coil measurements to determine the frequency spectrum of the signal and later compensate it with the BWC (bandwidth compensation factor), Select a high gain (90 100) and make sure there is no clipping in the measurement. Since there is no codec involved when measuring the internal 1 kHz reference signal in the CMU200

(Decoder Cal), the timing is selected without any additional delay. Use a duration of the signal period or multiple periods with at least 10000 ms window length. Due to internal switching in the AMMI for use as reference measurements, a delay of n*signal_duration or at least 2000 ms shall be set for all other signals. Grid anchor: AMCC Center Enable Use as reference Use the following signals:

Signal: 1 kHz Sine, gain: 100, Timing: 12000 / 2000 / 10000 ms Signal: 48k_voice_1kHz_1s, gain: 100, Timing: 12000 / 2000 / 10000 ms Signal: 48k_voice_300-3000_2s, gain: 100, Timing: 12000 / 2000 / 10000 ms all further signals needed during T-Coil testing, gain: 100 (no clipping), Timing: <signal_duration> + <start delay> / <start delay> / <signal_duration>

(example for Normal signal with 51 s duration: 53000 / 2000 / 51000 ms). After job is completed, enter the used Gain and Coil signal RMS level for each signal into the Excel file [5] at and . 1kHz Sine is used to calculate the basic gain settings. Therefore, the differences of the other signals towards 1kHz sine is calculated. The calculation steps are explained in below figure (see also accompanying Excel file [5]). Used gain level for the signal (see T-Coil job settings) RMS Reading from Coil signal for the specific signal measured (see hardware setup) Gain in dB = 20 * log (Gain_linear) Gain difference (dB) = _signal _1kHz_Sine _signal + _1kHz_Sine Gain factor (lin) = 10^(-gain_dB/20). Column contains the linear gain factors needed to get the same RMS average amplitude as for a 1 kHz sine signal. It compensates for the difference in dB in column . It will later be used to calculate the signal specific gain settings. Doc No: TN-LK-180405-B_T-Coil_Levels page 3 (9) The gain level determination to obtain a specific level in dBm0 with R&S CMU200 Base station simulators with an analog speech input have an internal level of 3.14 dBm0 (alpha type codecs) for a full-scale signal. For uncalibrated simulators (e.g. R&S CMU200) the reference level in dBm0 depend on the instrument, the signaling unit used and on the AMMI. For simulators with calibrated inputs (e.g. R&S CMW500, Agilent, Anritsu) where the input sensitivity dBm0 per input voltage) is known or can be set, use the following section of this document. START: Connect the CMU200 (Speech OUT) with AMMI (Coil IN) as in hardware setup diagram. Connect AMMI Audio Out to CMU200 Speech In for the selected codec LH1 or LH2. (SPEAG offers two sets of cables which can be used for the connection on the Sub-D Speech connector):

Usage

(GSM/WCDMA signals from AMMI to CMU200) LH1HAND SETIN LH1HAND SETOUT (GSM/WCDMA signals from CMU200) LH2HAND SETIN LH2HAND SETOUT (CDMA signals from CMU200)

(CDMA signals from AMMI to CMU200) Pin Signal 2 3 5 6 Signal: Off, Gain: 10 (default value), Timing: 10300 / 300 / 10000 ms, use as reference disabled. Connect Speech Out (for the selected signaling unit) via BNC-XLR adapter to AMMI Coil In. With an active call set up (call established, detailed settings not relevant), perform the following measurements:

STEP A: Select Bit Stream Decoder Calibration on the CMU200; the internal full-scale 1 kHz signal (see hardware setup diagram) will be available at the CMU200 Speech Out and can be measured using AMMI Coil In. Use a T-Coil job with the settings Read AMCC Coil In signal (dBV_RMS) according to hardware setup diagram. The signal is a 1 kHz sine from the CMU200 internal source and corresponds to 3.14 dBm0. Example: -2.44 dBV_RMS Enter the value into the Excel sheet at STEP B: Select Bit Stream - Codec Calibration on the CMU200; the AMMI signal from Speech In will be looped through to the Speech Out and can be compared to the reference reading. Use a T-Coil job with the settings Signal: 1 kHz Sine, Gain: 10 (default value), Timing: 10300 / 300 / 10000 ms, assuming a 300 ms delay through coder and decoder, use as reference OFF. Enter the gain level used for 1KHz Sine into the Excel sheet at Read the AMCC Coil In signal (dBV_RMS) according to hardware setup diagram and enter the value into the Excel sheet at Doc No: TN-LK-180405-B_T-Coil_Levels page 4 (9) STEP C: Calculate the required gain settings for a 1 kHz Sine according to:

CMU200 internal 1kHz sine reference equal to 3.14 dBm0 measured in dBV. Gain level used in DASY job. AMMI 1 kHz sine routed through CMU200 measured in dBV. Level of the 1 kHz Sine with gain in dBm0 = + 3.14. Example: -14.18 dBm0 Desired audio level in dBm0. Gain [dB] needed to obtain audio level of -16 dBm0 = + -

Gain converted to linear gain factor = 10^(/20). STEP D: Verify above calculation by measurement. The calculations performed in STEP C can be verified by measurements, repeat the T-coil job specified in STEP B or create a copy of the job. Set the T-coil job gain to the level found in (see T-coil job settings for Coil In RMS readings) The measured AMCC Coil In signal (dBV_RMS) should be equal or very close to AMMI Coil_In reading should be equal or close to = ( + - ) Doc No: TN-LK-180405-B_T-Coil_Levels page 5 (9) Determine the gain level to obtain a specific level in dBm0 with other calibrated simulators For simulators with calibrated inputs (e.g. R&S CMW500, Agilent, Anritsu), the analog input voltage has to be determined. STEP E: Read the simulator manual or application note and determine the relation between the analog input voltage and the internal level in dBm0. For CMW500, the standard setting is 1.0000 V full scale for 3.14 dBm0. The voltage can be changed by the user. Specify the full-scale setting (in this case for peak 1 kHz Sine, not peak-peak), and enter the value in the Excel sheet at . Defined full scale input setting. Full scale input level converted to dBV_RMS = 20*log(/2) Signal: 1 kHz Sine, Gain: 10, Timing: 10000 / 0 / 10000 ms (no delay from Codec), use as reference disabled. STEP F: Determining the reference level in dBv. Connect AMMI Audio Out according to hardware setup diagram via BNC-XLR adapter to AMMI Coil In. Use a T-Coil job with the settings Enter the used gain level in the Excel sheet at Enter the AMMI Coil_In signal reading at After the calibration procedure has been performed in DASY The AMMI Coil_In can be used as a voltmeter for dBV_RMS (see hardware setup diagram) However, due to different impedance on Audio_out and Coil_In a correction of -0.15 dB needs to be applied to . Linear gain level used for 1 kHz Sine reference (see T-coil job settings) Gain in dB = 20 * log (Gain_linear) RMS Reading from Coil for the 1 kHz Sine (hardware setup diagram) Resulting reference audio level for 1 kHz sine. Coil_In signal corrected for impedance mismatch. = - 0.15 Doc No: TN-LK-180405-B_T-Coil_Levels page 6 (9) STEP G: Calculate required gain settings for other audio levels Calculation scheme to determine gain settings for 1 kHz Sine with CMW500 is as follows:

Please note that in this example with a sensitivity setting of 1.7180 V_FullScale for the CMW500, the same gain setting happens to result as in the example for the CMU200 given. In reality, the values vary with the specific AMMI and simulator used!

The conversion in STEP G is equivalent to one in STEP C:

Desired audio level in dBm0. Gain [dB] needed to obtain audio level of -16 dBm0 = + -

Gain converted to linear gain factor = 10^(/20). STEP H: Verify above calculation by measurement. AMMI Coil_In reading should be equal or close to = ( + - ) The calculations performed in STEP G can be verified by measurements;

repeat the T-coil job specified in STEP F or create a copy of the job. Set the T-coil job gain to the level found in STEP G (see.). The measured AMCC Coil In signal (dBV_RMS) should be equal or very close to 7D Doc No: TN-LK-180405-B_T-Coil_Levels page 7 (9) The gain level calculation per signal type and dBm0 level Knowing the required gain levels from above steps a 1 kHz Sine signal, the gain levels for other signals can be calculated from the conversions as per T-Coil Reference Job according to the scheme as shown below. Logarithmic scaling is done by compensating the gain (dB) = gain_1kHz - . Linear scaling is done as gain_signal (lin) = gain_1kHz * gain_factor = 10^(gain_signal_dB/20). Please note that for signals with a high Peak-to-Average ratio, gains of >100 might result from the calculation. These cannot be set in the T-Coil job. Measurements must then be taken at a lower level and scaled to the target level. Doc No: TN-LK-180405-B_T-Coil_Levels page 8 (9) Setting of gain levels, verification of plausibility and settings and voice signal at the speaker The gain levels calculated above have to be applied to all T-Coil measurement jobs in which the signal is used with the same AMMI and simulator. The timing settings may need modification due to the internal delay of the codec, especially if short signals

(e.g. voice_1kHz_1s or voice_300-3000_2s) are used. Assuming a codec delay of 190 ms, the settings for the voice_1kHz_1s would be 1190 / 190 / 1000 ms). For scans needed to find the best points, the settings are less important than for the final result at the selected location. Settings with longer measurement time should be chosen to reduce this sensitivity (e.g. like above: 10190 / 190 / 10000 ms). Below table summarized the list of predefined signals. The table can be used to verify the resulting gain factors. The integration time of the last 3 voice signals should be an integer multiple of the signal duration. Signal
