WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
“CAUTION: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
The antenna shall be mounted in such a manner to minimize the potential for
human contact during normal operation. The antenna should not be contacted
during operation to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency
exposure limit.
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 FCC 47 CFR Title47
Part22 SubpartH CFR Title47 Part24 SubpartE CFR Title47 CFR Part 27 CFR
Title47 Part15 SubpartB 47 CFR Part 2
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, and the antenna uses a permanently
attached antenna that 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 with which the
limited module is used. 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,
requires 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: Yes, The module with trace antenna designs, refer to the RF
Link schematic diagram and refer to PCB Layout.
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 for the module through a change in FCC ID (new application).
Explanation: This module complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment, This equipment should be installed
and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the
radiator and your body.” This module is designed to comply with the FCC
statement, FCC ID is YQD-QLL100.
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 a unique antenna
connector must be used on Part 15 authorized transmitters used in the host
product. The module manufacturers shall provide a list of acceptable unique
connectors.
Explanation: The EUT has a PIFA Antenna, and the antenna uses a permanently
attached antenna which is unique. max antenna gain 1.14dbi.
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 a label in a
visible area indicating the following texts: “Contains FCC ID: YQD-QLL100”
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 simulate 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 simulate 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 with 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 circuitry), 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 is 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.
