3.3 Power design
VDD is the power supply input of the whole module, and the quality of the
power supply directly affects the performance of the module. The design must
select a power supply that can provide at least 1A current capacity to ensure
that the input voltage to the
VDD is not lower than the minimum operating voltage to prevent abnormal module
operation due to voltage sag. If the voltage difference between the input
voltage and the supply voltage of the module is not very large, it is
recommended to choose LDO as the power supply. If there is a large pressure
difference between the input and output, use DC-DC for power conversion, and
pay attention to the EMI problem caused by DCDC. To ensure better power supply
performance, the VBAT input reference circuit is as below:In the PCB design, the longer the VDD line, the wider the line
width. It is recommended that the wire width should not be less than 0.7mm.
The GND plane of the power supply part should be as complete as possible and
drilled in the ground, and the capacitor should be as close as possible to the
VDD pin of the module.

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER (OEM) NOTES
The OEM must certify the final end product to comply with unintentional
radiators (FCC Sections 15.107 and 15.109) before declaring compliance of the
final product to Part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations. Integration into
devices that are directly or indirectly connected to AC lines must add with
Class II Permissive Change.
The OEM must comply with the FCC labeling requirements. If the module’s label
is not visible when installed, then an additional permanent label must be
applied on the outside of the finished product which states: “Contains
transmitter module FCC ID:2AOFDL-LRNCP18”. Additionally, the following
statement should be included on the label and in the final product’s user
manual: “This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interferences, and
- this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.”
The module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed applications.
Separate approval is required for all other operating configurations,
including portable configuration with respect to Part 2.1093 and different
antenna configurations.
A module or modules can only be used without additional authorizations if they
have been tested and granted under the same intended end‐use operational
conditions, including simultaneous transmission operations.
When they have not been tested and granted in this manner, additional testing
and/or FCC application filing may be required. The most straightforward
approach to address additional testing conditions is to have the grantee
responsible for the certification of at least one of the modules submit a
permissive change application.
When having a module grantee file a permissive change is not practical or
feasible, the following guidance provides some additional options for host
manufacturers. Integrations using modules where additional testing and/or FCC
application filing(s) may be required are: (A) a module used in devices
requiring additional RF exposure compliance information (e.g., MPE evaluation
or SAR testing); (B) limited and/or split modules not meeting all of the
module requirements; and (C) simultaneous transmissions for independent
collocated transmitters not previously granted together.
This Module is full modular approval, it is limited to OEM installation ONLY.
Integration into devices that are directly or indirectly connected to AC lines
must add with Class II Permissive Change. (OEM) Integrator has to assure
compliance of the entire end product include the integrated Module.
Additional measurements (15B) and/or equipment authorizations (e.g.
Verification) may need to be addressed depending on co-location or
simultaneous transmission issues if applicable. (OEM) Integrator is reminded
to assure that these installation instructions will not be made available to
the end user
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).
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 Dipole 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: Yes, The module with trace antenna designs, and This manual has
been shown the layout of trace design, antenna, connectors, and isolation
requirements.
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).
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:2AOFDL-LRNCP18.
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 EUT has a Dipole Antenna, and the antenna use a permanently
attached antenna which is unique.
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: 2AOFDL-LRNCP18, Contains
IC:25210-LLRNCP18 ”
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
shoule be evaluated by the FCC Subpart B.
IC labeling requirement for the final end product:
The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following
“Contains IC:
25210-LLRNCP18 ”
The Host Marketing Name (HMN) must be indicated at any location on the
exterior of the host product or product packaging or product literature, which
shall be available with the host product or online.
This radio transmitter [ lC:25210-LLRNCP18 ] has been approved by Innovation,
Science and Economic Development Canada to operate with the antenna types
listed below, with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not
included in this list that have a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated
