11.1 Qualified External Antenna Types

This device has been certified with an integrated chip antenna as well as external antennas connected to either RF port or both. The

required antenna impedance is 50 Ω.

Table 11.1. Qualified Antennas for WGM160P

Antenna Type Maximum Gain

Connectorized Coaxial Dipole 2.14 dBi

Any antenna of the same general type and of equal or less directional gain as listed in the above table can be used in the regulatory

areas that

have a full modular radio approval (USA, Canada, Korea, Japan) as long as spot-check testing is performed to verify that no

performance changes compromising compliance have been introduced. In countries applying the ETSI standards, like the EU countries,

the radiated emissions are always tested with the end-product and the antenna type is not critical, but antennas with higher gain may

violate some of the regulatory limits.

If an antenna of a different type (such as a chip antenna, a PCB trace antenna or a patch) with a gain less than or equal to 2.14 dBi is

needed, it can be added as a permissive change, requiring some radiated emission testing. Antenna types with more gain than 2.14 dBi

may require a fully new certification. Since the exact permissive change procedure is chosen on a case by case basis, please consult

your test house, for example while performing with them the EMC testing of the end-product.

11.2 CE

The WGM160P22A and WGM160P22N module is in conformity with the essential requirements and other relevant requirements of the

Radio Equipment Directive (RED) (2014/53/EU). Please note that every application using the WGM160P22A and WGM160P22N 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 manufac-

turer 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 Declaration of Conformity

(DoC) is available via https://www.silabs.com/products/wireless/wi-fi/wgm160p-wifi-module.
