2.7 Antennas
A list of antennas included in the application for certification must be provided in the instructions. For
modular transmitters approved as limited modules, all applicable professional installer instructions must be
included as part of the information to the host product manufacturer. The antenna list shall also identify the
antenna types (monopole, PIFA, dipole, etc. (note that for example an
“
omni-directional antenna
”
is not
considered to be a specific
“
antenna type
”
)).
For situations where the host product manufacturer is responsible for an external connector, for example
with an RF pin and antenna trace design, the integration instructions shall inform the installer that unique
antenna connector must be used on the Part 15 authorized transmitters used in the host product. The
module manufacturers shall provide a list of acceptable unique connectors.
Explanation:
The EUT has a Chip Antenna, and the antenna use a permanently attached antenna
which is unique.
2.8 Label and compliance information
Grantees are responsible for the continued compliance of their modules to the FCC rules. This includes
advising host product manufacturers that they need to provide a physical or e-label stating
“
Contains FCC
ID
”
with their finished product. See Guidelines for Labeling and User Information for RF Devices
–
KDB
Publication 784748.
Explanation:
The host system using this module, should have label in a visible area indicated the
following texts: “Contains FCC ID: A3LCTRAK3I02, Contains IC: 649E-CTRAK3I02”
2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements5
Additional guidance for testing host products is given in KDB Publication 996369 D04 Module Integration
Guide. Test modes should take into consideration different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular
transmitter in a host, as well as for multiple simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a
host product.
The grantee should provide information on how to configure test modes for host product evaluation for
different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, versus with multiple,
simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host.
Grantees can increase the utility of their modular transmitters by providing special means, modes, or
instructions that simulates or characterizes a connection by enabling a transmitter. This can greatly simplify
a host manufacturer
’
s determination that a module as installed in a host complies with FCC requirements.
Explanation:
Top band can increase the utility of our modular transmitters by providing instructions
that simulates or characterizes a connection by enabling a transmitter.
