Confidential and Proprietary – Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.
1 Introduction
This document describes the steps that the OEM integrator must follow when designing and
manufacturing a system utilizing a certified SiP (System-in-Package) radio module (the
“Module”).
Failure to follow the instructions in this document may invalidate the radio certifications and
authorization to market the host product.
The Qualcomm® Atheros modular certifications described in this document apply only to radio
conformance for the Module. The OEM integrator is responsible for all system-level EMI/EMC,
Product Safety and RF Safety testing and certification that apply to the host system in countries
where the system will be marketed or sold.
This document must be read in conjunction with the document “QCA6234 SiP Module Certified
Antennas and Layout” which describes the allowable antenna options, PCB layout, and schematic
which must be implemented in the host design in order to use the SiP modular certifications.
To obtain the above referenced document and other design documents, please contact your
Qualcomm Atheros account representative.
Throughout this document, the term Certified Module and Certified SiP have the same meaning.
Qualcomm Atheros offers modular certification for the SiP component. In this case, the SiP is
considered “the Module”.
