Specifications
The host integrator installing this module into their product must ensure that the final
composite product complies with the FCC requirements by a technical assessment or
evaluation to the FCC rules, including the transmitter operation and should refer to guidance
in KDB 996369. For host products with certified modular transmitter, the frequency range of
investigation of the composite system is specified by rule in Sections 15.33(a)(1) through
(a)(3), or the range applicable to the digital device, as shown in Section 15.33(b)(1),
whichever is the higher frequency range of investigation
When testing the host product, all the transmitters must be operating.The transmitters can
be enabled by using publicly-available drivers and turned on, so the transmitters are active.
In certain conditions it might be appropriate to use a technology-specific call box (test set)
where accessory 50 devices or drivers are not available. When testing for emissions from
the unintentional radiator, the transmitter shall be placed in the receive mode or idle mode, if
possible. If receive mode only is not possible then, the radio shall be passive (preferred)
and/or active scanning. In these cases, this would need to enable activity on the
communication BUS (i.e., PCIe, SDIO, USB) to ensure the unintentional radiator circuitry is
enabled. Testing laboratories may need to add attenuation or filters depending on the signal
strength of any active beacons (if applicable) from the enabled radio(s). See ANSI C63.4,
ANSI C63.10 and ANSI C63.26 for further general testing details.
The product under test is set into a link/association with a partnering device, as per the
normal intended use of the product. To ease testing, the product under test is set to transmit
at a high duty cycle, such as by sending a file or streaming some media conte
nt.
