Requirement per KDB996369 D03
2.2 List of applicable FCC rules
List the FCC rules that are applicable to the modular transmitter. These are the rules that
specifically establish the bands of operation, the power, spurious emissions, and operating
fundamental frequencies. DO NOT list compliance to unintentional-radiator rules (Part 15
Subpart B) since that is not a condition of a module grant that is extended to a host
manufacturer. See also Section 2.10 below concerning the need to notify host
manufacturers that further testing is required.3
Explanation:
This module meets the requirements of FCC part 15C(15.247)& Part 15.407.
2.3 Summarize the specific operational use conditions
Describe use conditions that are applicable to the modular transmitter, including for
example any limits on antennas, etc. For example, if point-to-point antennas are used that
require reduction in power or compensation for cable loss, then this information must be in
the instructions. If the use condition limitations extend to professional users, then
instructions must state that this information also extends to the host manufacturer
’
s
instruction manual. In addition, certain information may also be needed, such as peak gain
per frequency band and minimum gain, specifically for master devices in 5 GHz DFS bands.
Explanation:
The EUT has a PIFA antenna, and the antenna used in the antenna is a replaceable
connection antenna.
2.4 Limited module procedures
If a modular transmitter is approved as a
“
limited module,
”
then the module manufacturer is
responsible for approving the host environment that the limited module is used with. The
manufacturer of a limited module must describe, both in the filing and in the installation
instructions, the alternative means that the limited module manufacturer uses to verify that
the host meets the necessary requirements to satisfy the module limiting conditions. A
limited module manufacturer has the flexibility to define its alternative method to address
the conditions that limit the initial approval, such as: shielding, minimum signaling amplitude,
buffered modulation/data inputs, or power supply regulation. The alternative method could
include that the limited module manufacturer reviews detailed test data or host designs
prior to giving the host manufacturer approval. This limited module procedure is also
applicable for RF exposure evaluation when it is necessary to demonstrate compliance in a
specific host. The module manufacturer must state how control of the product into which
the modular transmitter will be installed will be maintained such that full compliance of the
product is always ensured. For additional hosts other than the specific host originally
granted with a limited module, a Class II permissive change is required on the module grant
to register the additional host as a specific host also approved with the module.
Explanation:
The module is not a limited module.
2.5 Trace antenna designs
For a modular transmitter with trace antenna designs, see the guidance in Question 11 of
