iSpiro Ultrasonic Sensor Device (b) SpiroWay (a) iSpiro Ultrasonic Sensor Cap (c) Carrying pouch (d) Instructions for use Quick-Start Guide AAA Batteries a b c d 5 V01.00 Date 28 FEB 2024V01.00 - Date 28 FEB 2024 Please check that there is no visible damage on any device components. If any damage is present, do not use or attempt to repair the device but contact the manufacturer directly. 1.3. Indications for Use The iSpiro Ultrasonic Sensor is intended to be used by adults and children over 5 years old in physicians offices, clinics and home setting to conduct basic lung function and spirometry testing. 1.4. Restrictions, Contraindications and Possible Adverse Effects Diagnosis of medical conditions or prescription of treatments can only be made by a qualified healthcare professional who may use results obtained with the iSpiro Ultrasonic Sensor 6 as adjunct information when performing a full medical examination that has taken into consideration your clinical history and other test results. The iSpiro Ultrasonic Sensor must be used by a single user at any one time. If the iSpiro Ultrasonic Sensor will be transferred to and used by a new user, it must be cleaned and disinfected according to the information given in this user manual before use. A SpiroWay mouthpiece must not be shared between users, including family members. Spirometry tests should only be performed if you are not experiencing any shortness of breath, are in good health and capable of performing a lung function test. Test results may otherwise be unreliable. Failure to perform the required breathing maneuver correctly during a test may lead to inaccurate and unacceptable results. More information about how to perform a spirometry test correctly is described in this user manual. The device should not be used if test accuracy and/or reliability is jeopardized by these or other external factors. Spirometry tests can be physically demanding. The forced expiratory maneuver used in spirometry increases intrathoracic, intraabdominal, and intracranial pressures. Potential risks of spirometry are primarily related to maximal pressures generated in the thorax and their impact on abdominal and thoracic organs, venous return and systemic blood pressure, and expansion of the chest wall and lung. The physical effort required can increase myocardial demand. Caution must be used if you have medical conditions that could be adversely affected by these physiological consequences. Although such risks are likely to be minimal for spirometry in most patients, the potential risks associated with testing should always be weighed against the benefit of obtaining information about lung function. Spirometry should be discontinued if you experience pain during the maneuver. If you have any of these potential contraindications, please seek spirometry testing in primary care settings or pulmonary function laboratories where you will be under the supervision of healthcare professionals and there may be access to emergency care if needed. 7 V01.00 Date 28 FEB 2024V01.00 - Date 28 FEB 2024 Patients aged 5 years old and over and physicians are the intended operators of the iSpiro Ultrasonic Sensor device.

Small Size 2.4 GHz PCB antenna Application Note AN043 By Audun Andersen 1 KEYWORDS CC25xx CC24xx CC2480 PCB antenna 2 INTRODUCTION The PCB antenna used on the CC2511 USB dongle reference design is described in this application note. Even if the antenna presented is for a USB dongle design it can be used in all 2.4 GHz designs, especially where small space is required for the antenna. This application note describes the antenna dimensions, the RF performance USB dongle 2.4 GHz Inverted F Antenna for complying with and considerations regulatory limits when using this design. The suggested antenna design requires no more than 15.2 x 5.7 mm of space and ensures a VSWR ratio of less than 2 across the 2.4 GHz ISM band when connected to a 50 ohm source.

The IFA was designed to match an impedance of 50 ohm at 2.45 GHz. Thus no additional matching components are necessary. 4.1 Design Goals The reflection at the feed point of the antenna determines how much of the applied power is delivered to the antenna. A reflection of less than -10 dB across the 2.4 GHz ISM band, when connected to a 50 ohm source, was a design goal. Reflection of less than -10 dB, or VSWR less than 2, ensures that more than 90% of the available power is delivered to the antenna. Bandwidth is in this document defined as the frequency band where more than 90% of the available power is delivered to the antenna. Another design goal was to fit the size of the PCB antenna on a USB dongle and to obtain good performance also when the dongle is connected to a computer. 4.2 Simulation IE3D from Zeland, which is an electromagnetic simulation tool, was used to design the antenna. The accuracy of the simulation is controlled by the mesh. An increase of the mesh increases the simulation time. Thus, for initial simulations mesh = 1 should be used. When a fairly good result is achieved a higher mesh should be used to obtain more accurate results. Comparison of simulation and measurement results shows that the measured reflection is between the result obtained with mesh = 5 and mesh = 1; see Figure 2 for details. Figure 2: Comparison of Simulation and Measurements Results SWRA117D Page 3 of 21 Application Note AN043 4.3 Layout and Implementation Small changes of the antenna dimensions may have large impact on the performance. Therefore it is strongly recommended to make an exact copy of the reference design to achieve optimum performance. The easiest way to implement the antenna is to import the gerber or DXF file showing the antenna layout. These files are named IFA_USB.spl and IFA_USB.dxf respectively and are included in the CC2511 USB dongle reference design available from http://www.ti.com\lpw. The imported file can be used as a template when drawing the antenna. By using this procedure it should be possible to make an exact copy. If the PCB CAD tool being used does not support import of DXF or gerber files, Figure 3 and Table 1 should be used to ensure correct implementation. It is recommended to generate a gerber file for comparison with IFA_USB.spl when making a manual implementation. Most gerber viewers have the possibility to import several gerber files at the same time. Thus by placing the gerber file, showing the manually implemented antenna, on top of IFA_USB.spl it is easy to verify that the antenna is correctly implemented. It is also recommended to use the same thickness and type of PCB material as used in the reference design. Information about the PCB can be found in a separate readme file included in the reference design. To compensate for a thicker/thinner PCB the antenna could be made slightly shorter/longer. Figure 3: Antenna Dimensions L1 L2 L3 L4 L5 L6 W1 W2 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 3.94 mm 2.70 mm 5.00 mm 2.64 mm 2.00 mm 4.90 mm 0.90 mm 0.50 mm 0.50 mm 0.30 mm 0.30 mm 0.50 mm 1.40mm 1.70 mm Table 1: Antenna Dimensions SWRA117D Page 4 of 21 Application Note AN043 5 TEST RESULTS Reflection, radiation pattern and variation of output power across a wide frequency band were measured to verify the performance of the PCB antenna. Measurements of the dongle in free space and when connected to a laptop were performed to verify that the antenna is suitable both for USB dongle designs and in a standalone application. Free space is in this document interpreted as a measurement performed without connecting the dongle to a computer. In such a measurement the dongle is only powered by a battery. 5.1 Reflection All the reflection measurements were performed with a network analyzer connected to a semi-rigid coax cable, which was soldered to the feed point of the antenna. Because of the small size antenna and the small ground plane this kind of measurements is heavily affected by the presence and placement of the coax cable. This influence can result in a small uncertainty in resonance frequency and measured reflection. Typically different placement of the semi-rigid coax cable could change the resonance frequency with 5 -10 MHz and the reflection with 3 - 4 dB. Figure 4: Influence of Plastic Encapsulation and Test Pins SWRA117D Page 5 of 21 Application Note AN043 A small part on the CC2511 USB dongle PCB is equipped with test pins. These are intended for use during development. This part of the PCB will typically be omitted in a final application. The red and green graph on Figure 4 shows that removing this part of the PCB has a small impact on the performance. Figure 4 also shows that plastic encapsulation of the dongle will shift the resonance frequency to a lower frequency. This can be compensated by making the antenna slightly shorter. The size of the ground plane affects the performance of the PCB antenna. Connecting the USB dongle to a computer increases the size of the ground plane and thus the performance is affected. Figure 5 shows how the performance is affected when the USB dongle is connected to a laptop. In free space the antenna has a bandwidth of approximately 250 MHz. When the USB dongle is connected to the laptop the bandwidth is reduced to around 100 MHz, which still is enough to cover the whole 2.4 GHz ISM band. Figure 5: Comparison of Performance SWRA117D Page 6 of 21 Application Note AN043 5.2 Radiation Pattern The radiation pattern for the antenna implemented on the CC2511 USB dongle reference design has been measured in an anechoic chamber. Figure 7 through Figure 12 shows radiation patterns for three planes, XY, XZ and YZ, measured with vertical and horizontal polarization. All these measurement were performed without connecting the dongle to a computer. Figure 13 and Figure 14 shows the radiation pattern when the dongle is connected to a laptop. All measurements were performed with 0 dBm output power. Figure 6 shows how the different radiation patters are related to the positioning of the antenna. XY plane YZ plane XZ plane Figure 6: How to Relate the Antenna to the Radiation Patterns SWRA117D Page 7 of 21 Application Note AN043 Figure 7: USB Dongle XY Plane SWRA117D Page 8 of 21 Application Note AN043 Figure 8: USB Dongle XY Plane SWRA117D Page 9 of 21 Application Note AN043 Figure 9: USB Dongle XZ Plane SWRA117D Page 10 of 21 Application Note AN043 Figure 10: USB Dongle XZ Plane SWRA117D Page 11 of 21 Application Note AN043 Figure 11: USB Dongle YZ Plane SWRA117D Page 12 of 21 Application Note AN043 Figure 12: USB Dongle YZ Plane SWRA117D Page 13 of 21 Application Note AN043 Figure 13: USB Dongle in Laptop XY Plane SWRA117D Page 14 of 21 Application Note AN043 Figure 14: USB Dongle in Laptop XY Plane 5.3 Output Power To make a realistic bandwidth measurement of the antenna a small test program was used. The test program stepped the center frequency of a carrier from 2.3 to 2.8 GHz. This bandwidth measurement was also done to verify the result from the reflection measurements, described in section 5.1. The output power was measured using max hold on a spectrum analyzer. CC2511 was programmed for 0 dBm output power and the antenna was horizontally oriented and directed towards the receiving antenna. This corresponds to 0 in the XY plane on Figure 6. The bandwidth measurements were not performed with a correction factor on the spectrum analyzer. Thus, the results in Figure 15 and Figure 16 only show the relative changes in output power and not the actual level. Figure 15 shows the bandwidth of the antenna when the dongle is not connected to a computer. The result shows that the antenna has a variation in output power of less than 3 dB across a frequency band of more than 350 MHz. This demonstrates that the antenna has a SWRA117D Page 15 of 21 Application Note AN043 broadband characteristic. Maximum output power is measured to be at 2.54 GHz. Thus if the same antenna is implemented on a PCB with similar size and if the application is only intended for stand alone usage the antenna could be made slightly longer to obtain best performance at 2.42 GHz. Figure 15: Output Power, USB Dongle The reflection results in Figure 5 indicate that the output power will be slightly reduced when the dongle is connected to a laptop. Comparison of the results in Figure 15 and Figure 16 shows that the output power is reduced by approximately 2 dB when the dongle is connected to a laptop. This agrees with the results in Figure 5. SWRA117D Page 16 of 21 Application Note AN043 Figure 16: Output Power, USB Dongle in Laptop 5.4 Spurious Emission and Harmonics Table 2 shows measured output power and emission at the second harmonic. Above the second harmonic no peaks were detected when measuring TX emission. This can be seen from Figure 17 and Figure 18. These measurements were performed according to FCC requirements. An approximate conversion to dBm can be done by subtracting 95 from the measured value in dBV/m. Since the measurement setup for ETSI and FCC is different this conversion will not give an exact result, but typically it will give a result that is within 1-2 dB of the result from a correct ETSI measurement.
