• Module Placement Design Instructions o Place the module in the corners of the carrier PCB away from high-speed clock and noise sources o Green box is the carrier PCB and the blue box is the Module
a) Trace layout and dimensions including specific designs for each type: 1. Layout of trace design, parts, antenna, connectors, and isolation requirements; 2. Boundary limits of size, thickness, length, width, shape(s), dielectric constant, and impedance must be clearly described for each type of antenna; 3. Different antenna length and shapes affect radiated emissions, and each design shall be considered a different type; e.g.
c) Test procedures for design verification. 996369 D02 Module Q and A v01 Page 5 TEST PROCEDURE FOR MODULAR DESIGN VERIFICATION The Mesh Module is a design in a castellated PCB package so the connection to the module can be made through the castellated pads on the sides of the module. The module needs to be placed on a host PCB for design verification. The Sub1Ghz antenna connector is onboard the module hence no further RF trace design considerations are needed to be made.
d) Production test procedures for ensuring compliance. PRODUCTION TEST PROCEDURE To test the device during procedure, the module placed on a carrier host PCB board as a single device can be placed inside an RF shield box to perform various RF tests to ensure compliance as shown in the image below. RF SHIELD BOX MODULE ON HOST PCB In the image above, the module residing on a host PCB is placed inside an RF shield box.
In the picture below, the module NFC antenna is attached to the device housing front cover that when put together makes contact to the NFC antenna connector on the host PCB. NFC antenna on device front cover A standard NFC test procedure can then be followed to test the device RF specifications and make sure that it complies with the rules stated by FCC.
Information to User CAUTION : Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The AWAIRMOUNT module from BITFINDER, INC is certified for the FCC/ISED as a single-modular transmitter. The modules are FCC/ISED-certified radio modules that carries a modular grant.
IMPORTANT NOTE This device complies with FCC & ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This device should be installed and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1) This module may not be co-located with any other transmitters or antennas. 2) The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users.
