Transmitter Antenna (from Section 7.1.2 RSS-Gen,
The Australian Communications and Media Authority:
Issue 5, March 2019):
http://www.acma.gov.au/.
The RN2903 module can only be sold or operated with
antennas with which it was approved. Transmitter may
be approved with multiple antenna types. An antenna
type comprises antennas having similar in-band and
out-of-band radiation patterns. Testing shall be
performed using the highest gain antenna of each
combination of transmitter and antenna type for which
approval is being sought, with the transmitter output
power set at the maximum level. Any antenna of the
same type having equal or lesser gain as an antenna
that had been successfully tested with the transmitter,
will also be considered approved with the transmitter,
and may be used and marketed with the transmitter.
When a measurement at the antenna connector is
used to determine RF output power, the effective gain
of the device's antenna shall be stated, based on
measurement
or
on
data
from
the
antenna
manufacturer. For transmitters of output power greater
than 10 milliwatts, the total antenna gain shall be added
to the measured RF output power to demonstrate
compliance to the specified radiated power limits.
