2 Summary of operational use conditions

2.1 Antenna Configuration and Gain
2.1.1 Antenna Configuration

2.1.1 Antenna Configuration
In addition to the general requirement to use only authorized antennas, the grant also requires a separation distance of at least 20 cm from the antenna(s) to all persons. The antenna(s) must not be co-located with any other antenna or transmitter (simultaneous transmission) as well. If this cannot be met, a Permissive Change as described below must be made to the grant.
In order to support verification activities that may be required by certification laboratories, customers applying for Class-II Permissive changes must implement the setup described in Radio Test Guide for NXP-based modules.
If the module is to be co-located with another transmitter, additional measurements for simultaneous transmission are required. The results must be added to the grant file as a Class II Permissive Change.
If the authorized antennas and/or antenna trace design cannot be used, the new antenna and/or antenna trace designs must be added to the grant file. This is done by a Class I Permissive Change or a Class II Permissive Change, depending on the specific antenna and antenna trace design.

Antennas of the same type and with less or same gain as an already approved antenna can be added under a Class I Permissive Change.
Antenna trace designs deviating from the reference design and new antenna types are added under a Class II Permissive Change.
For 5 GHz modules, the combined minimum gain of antenna trace and antenna must be greater than 0 dBi to comply with DFS testing requirements.

2.1.2 Antenna Gain
The antenna gain in each band must not exceed the following:
