module manufacturer reviews detailed test data or host designs prior to giving the host
manufacturer approval.
This Single Modular 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 a single module.
2.5Trace 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
2.6RF 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).
