10.1 Qualified Antenna Types
The BGM13S variants supporting an external antenna have been designed to operate with a standard 2.14 dBi dipole antenna. Any
antenna of a different type or with a gain higher than 2.14 dBi is strictly prohibited for use with this device. Using an antenna of a differ-
ent type or gain more than 2.14 dBi will require additional testing for FCC, CE and IC. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ω.

The BGM13S is pre-qualified as a Low Energy RF-PHY tested component, having Declaration ID of TBD and QDID of TBD. For the
qualification of an end product embedding the BGM13S, the above should be combined with the most up to date Wireless Gecko Link
Layer and Host components.
10.3 CE
The BGM13S22 module is in conformity with the essential requirements and other relevant requirements of the Radio Equipment Direc-
tive (RED) (2014/53/EU). Please note that every application using the BGM13S22 will need to perform the radio EMC tests on the end
product, according to EN 301 489-17. It is ultimately the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure the compliance of the end-product.
The specific product assembly may have an impact to RF radiated characteristics, and manufacturers should carefully consider RF
radiated testing with the end-product assembly. A formal DoC is available via
The BGM13S32 module is in conformity with the essential requirements and other relevant requirements of the Radio Equipment Direc-
tive(RED) at nominal 10 dBm transmit power.
The transmit power of the module is not limited and when an end product is using BGM13S32, the end product manufacturer is respon-
sible that the end product is in conformity of all relevant requirements of the RED.
