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 15E(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, FPCB Antenna, and the antenna use a permanently attached
antenna which is not replaceable.
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 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: This module does not incorporate an integrated trace antenna.
The module is designed to interface with an approved external antenna through an RF connector. A
controlled 50-ohm RF transmission line (microstrip or strip line) may be implemented on the host PCB
between the module RF port and the antenna connector. This RF transmission line is used solely for
signal routing between the module and the antenna connector and is not intended to function as an
antenna element.
To maintain compliance with the certified configuration, the host integrator shall comply with the
following requirements:
• The RF transmission line shall be designed with a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms.
• PCB materials shall be FR-4 or equivalent RF-compatible materials.
• Trace dimensions, including width and length, shall be properly designed to maintain the required
impedance characteristics.
• A continuous ground reference shall be provided along the RF transmission line.
• No active RF components, such as amplifiers, shall be inserted in the RF feed path between the module and
the antenna connector.
• The antenna connector and antenna type shall be installed in accordance with the module manufacturer's
integration instructions.
Any deviation from the approved RF transmission line design or antenna implementation may affect RF
performance and regulatory compliance and shall be evaluated by the responsible party prior to
implementation.

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).

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”)).
For situations where the host product manufacturer is responsible for an external connector, for example
with an RF pin and antenna trace design, the integration instructions shall inform the installer that unique
antenna connector must be used on the Part 15 authorized transmitters used in the host product. The
module manufacturers shall provide a list of acceptable unique connectors.
Explanation:
The module is certified for use only with certain types of antenna described in this chapter.
Allowed maximum gain (dBi)
NOTE: Allowed antenna type –PIFA and FPCB type antenna
NOTE: End host product must use an integrated antenna –the antenna is integrated in the host mechanical
housing.
NOTE: Use of other antenna types or the same type of antenna with higher gain than listed above must
performed additional testing and appropriate permissive change approval.
NOTE: In the 5.925-7.125GHz band, use of other similar type antennas and the antenna gain not
higher/lower than listed above may only require a C1PC without any additional testing/submission.
NOTE: Contact LG Innotek Co., LTD for additional guidance, if choose to use different antenna types or
higher/lower gain antennas in the end system.

2.8 Label and compliance information
Grantees are responsible for the continued compliance of their modules to the FCC rules. This includes
advising host product manufacturers that they need to provide a physical or e-label stating “Contains FCC
ID” with their finished product. See Guidelines for Labeling and User Information for RF Devices –KDB
Publication 784748.
Explanation: The host system using this module, should have label in a visible area indicated the following
texts: “Contains FCC ID: YZP-ATC6NPL004”. “Contains IC: 7414C-ATC6NPL004”
2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements5
Additional guidance for testing host products is given in KDB Publication 996369 D04 Module Integration
Guide. Test modes should take into consideration different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular
transmitter in a host, as well as for multiple simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a
host product.
The grantee should provide information on how to configure test modes for host product evaluation for
different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, versus with multiple,
simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host.
Grantees can increase the utility of their modular transmitters by providing special means, modes, or
instructions that simulates or characterizes a connection by enabling a transmitter. This can greatly simplify
a host manufacturer’s determination that a module as installed in a host complies with FCC requirements.
Explanation: Top band can increase the utility of our modular transmitters by providing instructions that
simulates or characterizes a connection by enabling a transmitter.
2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
The grantee should include a statement that the modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific
rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on the grant, and that the host product manufacturer is
responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular
transmitter grant of certification. If the grantee markets their product as being Part 15 Subpart B compliant
(when it also contains unintentional-radiator digital circuity), then the grantee shall provide a notice stating
that the final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter
installed.
Explanation: The module without unintentional-radiator digital circuity, so the module does not require an
evaluation by FCC Part 15 Subpart B. The host should be evaluated by the FCC Subpart B.
