Regulatory
Certified Antennas
The SDC-MSD30AG provides two Hirose U.FL type antenna connectors to support transmit and receive
diversity. For single antenna, non-diversity applications, OEMs are advised to use the Main (not Aux)
antenna connector and should disable transmit and receive diversity from the Global tab of the Summit
Client Utility (SCU) software utility.
The SDC-MSD30AG has been tested to the regulatory standards defined in the “Certifications” section of
the Specifications table above. These tests were conducted with the following antennas:
AIR-ANT 4941
(click for datasheet)
 Form Factor: Whip
 Type: Dipole
 Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain: 2.2 dBi
Radiall Larson Dipole
(click for datasheet)
 Form Factor: Whip
 Type: Dipole
 Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain: 1.6 dBi (not used during testing)
 Maximum 5 GHz Gain: 5 dBi
HUBER+SUHNER
(click for datasheet)
 Form Factor: Whip
 Type: Monopole
 Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain: 3 dBi
 Maximum 5 GHz Gain: 6.5 dBi
Antennas of differing types and higher gains may be integrated as well. If necessary, with the Summit
Manufacturing Utility software utility, OEMs may reduce the transmit power of the SDC-MSD30AG to
account for higher antenna gain. In some cases, OEMs may be able to reduce certification efforts by
using antennas that are of like type and equal or lesser gain to the above listed antennas.
Documentation Requirements
In order to maintain regulatory compliance, when integrating the SDC-MSD30AG into a host device and
leveraging Summit’s grants and certifications, it is necessary to meet the documentation requirements set
forth by the applicable regulatory agencies. The following sections (FCC, Industry Canada, and European
Union) outline the information that must be included in the user’s guide and external labels for the host
devices into which the SDC-MSD30AG is integrated.
