1.2 Exterior Laptop Labeling

An FCC label, along with specific text, must be placed on the notebook PC that contains an Intel Ambler

module with Bluetooth wireless technology. The following exact text must be placed beneath the FCC

label on the exterior of the laptop.

“Contains one of the Transmitter Modules”

FCC ID: To be determined

1.3 Design Requirements

To be eligible to utilize the Intel MA grant, the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology

must be designed into the notebook PC following certain design requirements. These requirements are

listed below.

General

The Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology may not be altered or modified in any way

upon receipt from Intel. Additionally, no external component can be added which changes the radio

frequency (RF) characteristics of the transmitted signals. This includes all components both passive and

active such as RF filters, RF amplifiers, RF switches, etc.

RF components may not be placed between the output pin of the Ambler module and the Intel enabled

antennas except the RF transmission line that interconnects them.

Antennas

Only antennas selected by Intel may be used with the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless

technology. These antennas are designed to be compatible with the RF transmission line impedance and

frequency range of the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology. These antennas may not

be modified in any way from the design baseline as indicated by the antenna data sheets from the

manufacturer.

The antennas selected by Intel have been specifically tested with the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth

wireless technology, and they are certified through the regulatory agencies indicated in section 1.1.2 for

authorized use.

Use of antennas in a platform other than the antennas selected by Intel voids the MA grant for that

platform.

Transmission Line Interconnection

There are specific requirements that must be met when designing a transmission line interconnection

between the Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology and the antennas.

The Intel Ambler module with Bluetooth wireless technology has been specifically designed as a miniature

component to be integrated into portable electronic devices. As such the RF connection is not a standard

connector, but a ball grid array solder connection.

The module should be mounted on a PCB directly or mounted in a specially designed socket that is

mounted to a PCB.

1.3.1.1 Impedance

The transmission line must be designed to be a 50-Ohm impedance.

1.3.1.2 Physical Implementation
