7 Antennas
This chapter gives an overview of the different external antennas that can be fitted to the LILY-W1 series
module.
This radio transmitter IC: 8595A-LILYW1 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with
the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna
impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a
gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with
this device.
Cet émetteur radio IC: 8595A-LILYW1 été approuvé par Industry Canada pour fonctionner avec
les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous avec le gain maximum autorisé et l’impédance
nécessaire pour chaque type d’antenne indiqué. Les types d’antenne ne figurant pas dans cette
liste et ayant un gain supérieur au gain maximum indiqué pour ce type-là sont strictement
interdits d’utilisation avec cet appareil.
For each antenna, the "Approvals" field defines in which test reports the antenna is included. Definitions of the
«Approvals» field are:
 FCC - The antenna is included in the FCC test reports and thus approved for use in countries that accept
the FCC radio approvals, primarily US.
 IC - The antenna is included in the IC (Industrie Canada) test reports and thus approved for use in
countries that accept the IC radio approvals, primarily Canada.
 R&TTE - The antenna is included in the R&TTE test reports and thus approved for use in countries that
accept the R&TTE radio approvals, primarily the European countries.
In general, antennas with SMD connection, Reverse Polarity SMA connector or U.FL connector are included in
FCC, IC and R&TTE radio tests. The antennas with SMA connector are included in R&TTE radio tests but not in
the FCC or IC due to FCC/IC regulations.
The external antennas are connected to the board through U.FL connectors. Some antennas are connected
directly to the U.FL connector of the board while some are connected using an SMA or reversed polarity SMA
connector through a short U.FL to SMA or reversed polarity SMA adapter cable. See LILY-W1 series System
Integration Manual [2] for information about U.FL connector design.
