2.2 List of applicable FCC rules
CFR 47 FCC PART 15 SUBPART C&F has been investigated. It is applicable to the modular.
2.3 Specific operational use conditions
This module is stand-alone modular. If the end product will involve the Multiple simultaneously transmitting condition or
different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, host manufacturer have to consult with
module manufacturer for the installation method in end system.
2.4 Limited module procedures
Not applicable
2.5 Trace Antenna designs
We supply the internal PCB antenna with UWB and Ceramic Antenna with BLE.
When designing the PCB onto which the DW1000 will be soldered, the proximity of the DW1000 on-board
antenna to metal and other non-RF transparent materials needs to considered carefully. Two suggested
placement schemes are shown below.
For best RF performance, ground copper should be flooded in all areas of the application board, except
in the areas marked “Keep-Out Area”, where there should be no metal either side, above or below (e.g.
do not place battery under antenna).
The two placement schemes in Figure 4 show an application board with no metallic material in the keep-out area.
The diagram on the right is an application board with the antenna projecting off of the board so that the keep out
area is in free-space. The diagram on the left shows an application board which does not have the module in free
space but has the pcb copper removed on either side (and behind) the module antenna. (Note: the rectangular
area above the shield on the module is the antenna area)
It is also important to note that the ground plane on the application board affects the DW1000 antenna
radiation pattern. There must be a minimum spacing of 10 mm (d) without metal either side of the module
antenna.
