1 FCC §15.203 – Antenna Requirements 1.1 Applicable Standard According to FCC §15.203, an intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this Section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited. And according to FCC §15.247 (b)(4), if transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used the power shall be reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. 1.2 Antenna List The antenna used on the device has a unique connector – U.F.L – and the antenna gain is less then 6dBi, therefore the antenna used fulfilled the antenna requirement above. EUT has two configurations, one with three Galtronics antennas, one with three Airgain antennas, since Galtronics antennas has higher gain with the same type, therefore only Galtronics antenna was tested with the unit during radiated emissions. Please refer to the below pictures for detail: Manufacture/Antenna Model Antenna Product Number/ Antenna Model Antenna Gain (dBi) Galtronics 02102140-05243-1 3.5 (at 2.4GHz) 4.21 (at 5GHz) Galtronics 02102140-05243-2 5.59 (at 2.4GHz) 4.82 (at 5GHz) Galtronics 02102140-05243-3 3.5 (at 2.4GHz) 4.21 (at 5GHz) Airgain M2450DLCB 3.5 (at 2.4 GHz) 4.0 (at 5 GHz) Airgain N2420DS 3.1 (at 2.44 GHz) 3.2 (at 5.2 GHz) Left Antenna P/N: 02102140-05243-3 Ri ght Antenna P/N: 02102140-05243-1 Front Antenna P/N: 02102140-05243-2 Testing configuration with Galtronics Antennas Tested Galtronics Antennas Airgain M2450DLCB Antennas Airgain N2420DS Antenna
