According to KDB 178919 it is allowed to substitute approved antennas through equivalent
antennas of the same type:
‘Equivalent antennas must be of the same type (e.g., yagi, dish, etc.), must be of
equal or less gain than an antenna previously authorized under the same FCC ID,
and must have similar in band and out-of-band characteristics (consult specification
sheet for cutoff frequencies).’
Additional description to certification and approved antenna issues can be found in the radio
module’s user manual [4].
