2.5 Trace antenna designs
For a modular transmitter with trace antenna designs, see the guidance in Question 11 of KDB
Publication 996369 D02 FAQ – Modules for Micro-Strip Antennas and traces. The integration
information shall include for the TCB review the integration instructions for the following aspects:
layout of trace design, parts list (BOM), antenna, connectors, and isolation requirements.
a) Information that includes permitted variances (e.g., trace boundary limits, thickness, length,
width, shape(s), dielectric constant, and impedance as applicable for each type of antenna);
b) Each design shall be considered a different type (e.g., antenna length in multiple(s) of frequency,
the wavelength, and antenna shape (traces in phase) can affect antenna gain and must be
considered);
c) The parameters shall be provided in a manner permitting host manufacturers to design the
printed circuit (PC) board layout;
d) Appropriate parts by manufacturer and specifications;
e) Test procedures for design verification; and
f) Production test procedures for ensuring compliance.
The module grantee shall provide a notice that any deviation(s) from the defined parameters of the
antenna trace, as described by the instructions, require that the host product manufacturer must
notify the module grantee that they wish to change the antenna trace design. In this case, a Class
II permissive change application is required to be filed by the grantee, or the host manufacturer
can take responsibility through the change in FCC ID (new application) procedure followed by a
Class II permissive change application.
Explanation: Yes, The module with trace antenna designs, and This manual has been shown the
layout of trace design,, antenna, connectors, and isolation requirements.
2.6 RF exposure considerations
It is essential for module grantees to clearly and explicitly state the RF exposure conditions that
permit a host product manufacturer to use the module. Two types of instructions are required for
RF exposure information: (1) to the host product manufacturer, to define the application conditions
(mobile, portable – xx cm from a person’s body); and (2) additional text needed for the host
product manufacturer to provide to end users in their end-product manuals. If RF exposure
statements and use conditions are not provided, then the host product manufacturer is required to
take responsibility of the module through a change in FCC ID (new application).
Explanation: This module complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment, This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum
distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body." This module is designed
to comply with the FCC statement, FCC ID: 2AWY7GWF-KM26.
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”)).
