Data Sheet

K-MC4 MONOPULSE RADAR TRANSCEIVER Datasheet
Europe (CE-RED)
This module is a Radio Equipment Directive assessed radio module that is CE complaint and have
been manufactured and tested with the intention of being integrated into a final product.
According to the RED every final product that includes a radio module is also a radio product which
falls under the scope of the RED. This means that OEM and host manufacturers are ultimately
responsible for the compliance of the host and the module. The final product must be reassessed
against all of the essential requirements of the RED before it can be placed on the EU market. This
includes reassessing the module for compliance against the following RED articles:
Article 3.1(a): Health and safety
Article 3.1(b): Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Article 3.2: Efficient use of radio spectrum (RF)
The RED knows different conformity assessment procedures to show compliance against the essential
requirements (See RED Guide, chapter 2.6b). As long as the radio module can show compliance to
Article 3.2 by the use of a harmonized standard, which is listed in the official journal of the EU (OJEU),
it is not necessary to do an EU type examination for the final radio product by a notified body. In this
case it is possible to demonstrate conformity according to the essential requirements of the RED by
using Module A (Annex II of the RED), which allows to show conformity by internal production control.
Note
As long as a harmonized standard listed in the OJEU can be used to demonstrate conformity in
accordance with Article 3.2 of the RED, it is possible to carry out the CE certification in self-declaration
without the involvement of a notified body.
The K-MC4 shows compliance against the Article 3.2 by the use of the standard EN 300 440 which is
a harmonized standard listed in the OJEU, what gives the possibility to show conformity by internal
production control.
An OEM integrator can show compliance to article 3.1(a) and 3.1(b) for the final product by doing
internal or external tests and following the Module A (Annex II of the RED) assessment procedure. To
show compliance against article 3.2 it is possible to reuse the assessment of the K-MC4 as long as it
is the only radio module in the final product or if the integrator can guarantee that only one radio
module is operating at the same time. Test reports of the K-MC4 are available on request.
Note
The ETSI guide EG 203 367 provides detailed guidance on the application of harmonized standards to
multi-radio and combined equipment to demonstrate conformity.
RF Exposure Information (MPE)
This device has been tested and meets applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure. A
detailed calculation to show compliance to the RED Article 3.1(a) is available on request.
