6 Allowable Antennas to Use with the Radio
Module
The module is certified for use only with certain antennas as described in this section.
NOTE: Allowed antenna type: Monopoles with omni-directional patterns formed from stamped metal or
film.
Table 6-1 Allowed maximum gain (dBi), including antenna cable loss
Frequency band Antenna gain (dBi, including cable loss)
824–849 MHz WWAN -0.3
1850–1910 MHz WWAN 0.9
2.4 GHz WLAN/BT 0.6
5.150–5.850 GHz WLAN 1.9
WARNING: Use of other antenna types or the same type of antenna but with higher gain than listed above is
not allowed without additional testing and appropriate FCC approval.
Use of other similar antennas may only require a Class 1 Permissive Change (C1PC) to confirm
the performance, for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is the same or better (i.e., lower) but
only an equivalent antenna can be used without any additional testing.
Contact your QTI account representative for additional guidance if you decide to use different
antenna types or higher gain antennas in the end system.
Some examples of antenna types not considered the same type as PIFA are dipole/monopole,
PCB trace, patch, and chip antennas.
In addition, regulatory agencies in Japan and Korea require submission of antenna specification
sheets for all antenna models used with the Module. This notification process must be followed
by the integrator before original product launch and whenever new host systems (with new
antenna models) are launched.
