3       PCB Layout Requirements

        Since this module and its associated set of approved antennas has been certified by the FCC and
        Industry Canada (IC) as a Modular Radio, the end user is authorized to integrate this module into
        an end-product, and is solely responsible for the Unintentional Emissions levels produced by the
        end-product.

        In order to preserve the Modular Radio certifications, the integrator of the module must abide
        by the PCB layout recommendations outlined in the following paragraphs. Any divergence from
        these recommendations will invalidate the modular radio certifications and require the
        integrator to re-certify the module and/or end-product.

        The module must be used with one of the approved antennas:

         1. Johanson Technology 2450AT18D0100 Ceramic Chip Antenna.

         2. LSR 001-0014 2.4 GHz FlexPIFA Antenna w/U.FL cable.

         3. LSR 001-0015 2.4 GHz FlexNotch Antenna w/U.FL cable.

         4. LSR 001-0001 center-fed 2.4 GHz dipole antenna and 080-0001 U.FL to Reverse Polarity
            SMA connector cable.


        When using the module and the reference design that supports the off module U.FL
        connector(s), you may use a substitute antenna if the antenna gain is less than or equal to +2
        dBi. It may be possible to use a substitute chip antenna, however there are restrictions so
        please contact LSR for guidance prior to making any chip antenna substitutions.

        LSR provides a 4-Layer FCC Modular Certified reference design. It is a controlled impedance PCB
        that uses microstrip trace design to route RF signals from the Sterling-LWB module to the
        Antennas and coaxial connectors.

        Please use the latest CAD files from the LSR web site when incorporating the Sterling-LWB
        module into a new design. CAD files are provided in native Mentor Graphics PADS PCB and
        PADS Logic formats, as well as ASCII, Gerber, and PDF formats. CAD files can also be translated
        to most popular CAD package. Contact LSR Tech support for CAD translation.

         Visit the LSR web site http://www.lsr.com for current PCB and Schematic CAD files.

4       Reference Designs

        In order to use the modular certification for your design, it is critical that the reference design is
        correctly followed. This section describes the details of using a PCB that is a 4-layer stack up.
        The full 4-layer Chip Antenna PCB reference design is shown in Figure 1, Schematic Figure 2, and
        Bill of Materials Table 2. The full 4-layer U.FL (external antenna) PCB reference design is shown
        in Figure 3 , Schematic Figure 4, and Bill of Materials Table 3.
        It is not required to replicate the entire design, but what is required are the circuitry and layout
        as it pertains to the antenna configuration being used in your design as shown in
        Chip Antenna

6       EMC Compliance

6.1 Summary
        The Sterling-LWB module has been tested and approved as a Modular Radio in accordance with the
        appropriate FCC and IC standards. The supporting test data may be found in the modular test report.

        Since this module and its associated set of approved antennas have been certified as a Modular Radio,
        this allows the end user to integrate this module into an end-product without the requirement of re-
        certifying the radio module. The module-integrator is responsible for the unintentional conducted and
        radiated emissions and must verify that the integrated product is compliant with the rules associated
        with unintentional radiators. The module integrator is also required to maintain an engineering record
        of the verification testing and declare on the product through proper labeling and marking that the
        device is compliant with these particular rules.

        The installed module’s FCC ID and IC numbers need to be clearly marked on the product with the
        following verbiage “Contains FCC ID: TFB-1003” and "Contains IC: 5969A-1003".

6.2 Module Integration Considerations - Antenna Systems
        The module must be used with one of the approved antennas:

         1) LSR 001-0001 2.4 GHz center-fed dipole antenna and LSR 080-0001 U.FL to Reverse Polarity SMA connector
            cable.
         2) LSR 001-0014 2.4 GHz FlexPIFA antenna.
         3) LSR 001-0015 2.4 GHz FlexNotch antenna.
         4) Johanson 2450AT18D0100 chip antenna.

        The antenna should be placed such that it is minimally disturbed by the product’s packaging material.
        The incorporation of the largest practical free-space clearance around the antenna is important for
        maximizing overall performance. Further, the antenna must be placed such that at least a 20 cm
        separation distance is maintained from the antenna to all other radio transmitters.

6.3 Module Integration Considerations - Substitute Antenna Systems
        The module’s certification is only valid for the list of approved antennas presented in section 5. When
        using the U.FL connector, you may use a substitute antenna if the peak antenna gain is to equal or less
        than +2 dBi. It may be possible to use a substitute chip antenna however there are restrictions so please
        contact LSR for guidance prior to making any chip antenna substitutions.

                                                                                            Sterling-LWB Module
                                                                                     APPLICATION GUIDE

6.4 Module Integration Considerations - Circuit Implementation
        It is recommended that all connection PCB (printed circuit board) traces to the power supply and digital
        control terminal be as short as possible. Though not necessarily required in all cases, it is a best practice
        to provide an optional shunt capacitor placement at the module pin on all active and routed power
        supply and digital control lines. Further, a series damping resistor placement should be incorporated
        between the module pin/shunt capacitor node and the source/sink of the digital control signals. This
        provides for effective bypassing and decoupling of digital lines from the radio module, in the event that
        the application circuit has longer power supply and digital routing.

6.5 Module Integration Considerations - Top Assembly
        In addition to the recommendations given for the antenna systems and the module placement onto a
        product PCB, it is recommended that all wiring and interconnect systems within the product not be
        routed anywhere close the module and its associated circuitry on the PCB, doing so could change the
        emission characteristics of the module.

6.6 Testing Requirements for End-Product
        Once the module is integrated and the end-product is realized, the end-product must be tested and
        follow the verification process for Unintentional Conducted and Radiated Emissions in accordance to the
        FCC and IC guidelines. The module needs to be powered and placed in the receive mode for this test.
        The receiver must be tuned to its lowest frequency channel, mid-frequency channel, and highest
        frequency channel. The supporting test data does not need to be submitted to the FCC or IC.

6.9       OEM Responsibilities To Comply With FCC and Industry Canada Regulations
          The Sterling-LWB Module has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under
          the following conditions:

          To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled
          exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of
          at least 29mm from all persons and operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter,
          except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.

          As long as the two conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
          However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional
          compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device
          emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).

          IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for certain configurations
          or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC and Industry Canada authorizations are
          no longer considered valid and the FCC ID and IC Certification Number cannot be used on the
          final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating
          the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC and Industry Canada
          authorization.

          Le module de Sterling-LWB a été certifié pour l'intégration dans des produits uniquement par des
          intégrateurs OEM dans les conditions suivantes:

          Pour se conformer aux limites d'exposition aux RF de la FCC et d'Industrie Canada pour la population
          générale / exposition non contrôlée, l'antenne(s) utilisée pour ce transmetteur doit être installé pour
          fournir une distance de séparation d'au moins 29mm de toutes les personnes et fonctionnant
          conjointement avec une autre antenne ou émetteur, sauf en conformité avec les procédures de produits
          multi- émetteur FCC.

          Tant que les deux conditions précitées sont réunies, les tests de transmetteurs supplémentaires ne
          seront pas tenus. Toutefois, l'intégrateur OEM est toujours responsable de tester leur produit final
          pour toutes les exigences de conformité supplémentaires requis avec ce module installé (par
          exemple, les émissions appareil numérique, les exigences de périphériques PC, etc.)

          NOTE IMPORTANTE: Dans le cas où ces conditions ne peuvent être satisfaites (pour certaines
          configurations ou de co-implantation avec un autre émetteur), puis la FCC et Industrie
          autorisations Canada ne sont plus considérés comme valides et l'ID de la FCC et IC numéro de
          certification ne peut pas être utilisé sur la produit final. Dans ces circonstances, l'intégrateur
          OEM sera chargé de réévaluer le produit final (y compris l'émetteur) et l'obtention d'un distincte
          de la FCC et Industrie Canada l'autorisation.
