1.0 Introduction
Dialog Semiconductor B.V. has obtained a Modular
Approval Certificate (US, EU) for CVMDECT. When
meeting the conditions as referenced in this document,
this implies that those tests already covered by the
Modular Approval Certificate don’t need to be rerun on
the end-product level. This may alleviate the overall
regulatory approval process of the end-product.

tem level certification process though.
Any regulatory standards not covered by the available
Modular Approval certificates will still need to be tested
on end-product/system level.
2.1 DESCRIPTION
When a wireless module has passed the Modular
Approval process, and when the host conforms to certain conditions (this will be detailed in the subsequent
sections), then the end-product containing this module
will not need to be tested against the regulatory standards covered by the module’s certificates.
2.4 CONDITIONS
The FCC document “DA-00-1407” provides a clear
overview of the conditions applicable to the host, associated with leveraging existing Modular Approval.
The availability of the Modular Approval is intended to
reduce time, cost and effort putting an end-product
containing CVMDECT on the market.
With respect to CVMDECT, the following subsections
reference the relevant conditions that have to be met.
Not adhering to these will invalidate the certification,
requiring recertification on end-product/system level.
2.2 AVAILABLE CERTIFICATIONS
Dialog Semiconductor B.V. has obtained the following
modular approvals for CVMDECT:
2.4.1
Antenna
• The antenna gain of a new antenna should be of the
same type as the originally approved antenna and
the antenna gain should not be higher than the
antenna gain of the originally tested antenna.
• IC RSS-213, issue 2, 2GHz License-exempt Personal Communications Service Devices: IC ID
9576A-SC14D
In addition, testing has shown compliance to the following:
• The emission levels or reported RF safety levels
shall not be increased by the new antenna (of the
same antenna type)
• EU testing (to be used in the DoC process when
applicable:
• If the new antenna is a different type, recertification
on end-product/system level is required.
• Emissions EN 301-406
With the existing CVMDECT certification this implies
the following:
• Immunity EN 301-489
• If only the embedded/internal antenna of CVMDECT
is used, then the Antenna Condition is fulfilled
• CE IECEN 60950-1
• SAR EN 62311
• If an external antenna is connected to CVMDECT,
then this antenna would need to meet specific criteria in order to prevent recertification requirements.
Please refer to section 3.0 for further details.
• JP Radio Law pre-test
2.3 APPLICABILITY
Only FCC (US) and IC (Canada) officially support Modular Certification.
2.4.2
ETSI (Europe) doesn’t supports Modular Certification,
rather Declaration of Conformity (DoC). The manufacturer is responsible for the compliance to regulatory
requirements. Previous testing, such as made available by Dialog Semiconductor B.V., may be taken into
consideration by the module integrator. If module testing is trusted for the DoC of the host, the module’s
Technical Construction File (TCF) becomes part of the
host’s TCF.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter
by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada,
le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une
antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans
le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le
type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas
l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
This is part of the “self certification” process where the
end-product OEM declares conformity to regulatory
requirements. The available ETSI test reports may be
used to this purpose and the tests in these reports
don’t need to be repeated on end-product/system level.
MIC (Japan) announced incorporation of modular
approvals in Japanese Radio Law (Feb ‘13). Requirements are being developed now. Currently, there is no
timeline or estimated implementation date. Modular
Certification is still judged on a case-by-case basis.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and
maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter
Other countries may not support Modular Certification.
The available test reports may help expedite the sys-

2.5 MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
In FCC terminology, a “Host” is what is referred to in
DECT as a “fixed part”. The FCC term “Mobile” corresponds with the DECT term “portable part”, provided
that the device is >20cm from the human body. A
DECT termed “portable part” <20cm from the human
body is referred to as “Portable” in FCC terminology.
Safety Requirements
This section provides of an overview of the safety
requirements you must adhere to when working with
CVMDECT.
• The specific external power supply for CVMDECT
has to fulfil the requirements according to clause 2.5
(Limited power source) of this standard EN 609501:2006.

• Requirements additional to those specified in this
standard may be necessary for:
A Permissive Change to the Modular Approval can
only be issued by the Grantee (i.e. Dialog Semiconductor B.V.). Therefore, any change to the module and/or
its connections will require submission for a new FCC
ID by the customer (either on module level or system
level).
• Equipment intended for operation in special environments (for example, extremes of temperature,
excessive dust, moisture or vibration, flammable
gases and corrosive or explosive atmospheres)
The existing Modular Approval may be invalidated if
CVMDECT is co-located with other wireless devices
(e.g. BlueTooth, WLAN/WiFi) that transmit simultaneously. Please consult with your test house on the possible implications.
• Equipment intended to be used in vehicles, on
board ships or aircraft, in tropical countries or at
altitudes greater than 2000m
• Equipment intended for use where ingress of
water is possible
• Installation by qualified personnel only
• The product is a component intended for installation
and use in complete equipment. The final acceptance of the component is dependent upon its installation and use in complete equipment

3.1.1
FCC-04-165 now allows different antennas may be
certified with one module. Dialog Semiconductor B.V.
has obtained Modular Approval for CVMDECT using a
specific external printed antenna. FCC-04-165 dictates
that the certification measurements must to be performed with the highest gain antenna and any other
antenna must have a similar radiation pattern.
In order to be allowed to leverage the CVMDECT Modular Approval for the SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01
design, the PCB should meet the following specifications:
Boundary Conditions
• PCB material: FR4
• Dimensions: length x width x thickness = 25.9mm x
25.0mm x 0.8mm
For CVMDECT, this implies that an external antenna
may be connected to radio module, provided that:
• PCB layer stackup:
• the antenna gain is not higher than -1.2dBi
• L1 copper thickness: 18um
• the antenna type is a (printed) monopole
• L1-L2 prepreg thickness: 163um
In addition, if the antenna connection is user accessible, then the antenna connector shall be proprietary.
• L2 copper thickness: 35um
3.1 SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01 CONVERSION
BOARD
The “SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01” design is a conversion PCB that holds a SC14CVMDECT SF xx module on the top side, while having an SC14CVMDECT
AF compatible footprint on the bottom side. Please
refer to the following indicative picture:
• L3 copper thickness: 35um
• L2-L3 core thickness: 360um
• L4 copper thickness: 18um
The SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01 has been designed
using 6mil lines/space and 0.25mm end-size drill holes
rules.
Figure 1 SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01 with
SC14CVMDECT SFxx module
This design also has an embedded printed antenna
(located to the top right in the above picture) so that
CVMDECT can support FAD and may have increased
performance to operate as an FP.
The SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01 design passed the
Modular Approval testing and can be used as a drop-in
replacement for the SC14CVMDECT AF module without needing to recertify the end-product (for those
countries allowing Modular Approvals, please refer to
section 2.3).
The gerber files of this design can be obtained through
your Dialog Semiconductor B.V. sales contact or representative.

• L3-L4 prepreg thickness 163um
When deviating in any way from these specifications,
the Modular Approval will be invalidated and recertification on end-product/system level will be required.

3.0 External Antenna Design
3.3 OTHER ANTENNAS
If an antenna is connected to CVMDECT that has a
dissimilar radation pattern than that of the SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01 design and/or if the antenna has a
higher gain than that of the SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01 design, then FCC-04-165 dictates
that the Modular Approval is invalidated and that recertification is required on end-product/system level.
In that case, the host PCB design must adhere to the
same PCB layer stackup (material, layer spacings) as
mentioned in section 3.1.1. The antenna must be
located in a corner and spaced from the SC14CVMDECT SFxx module in the same way as the
SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01 design. Also the ground
plane design (especially the spacing with respect to the
antenna structure) should follow exactly the same outline as in the SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01 design.
If the antenna connected to CVMDECT is user accessible, then the antenna connector shall be proprietary
(per FCC DA-00-1407).
External Antenna Design and Leveraging Modular Approval for CVMDECT
The printed antenna is not 50 Ohms by itself. It
requires a printed transformer on the inner layer (indicated in red in the below picture) that is part of the
SC14CVMDECT_AF01_SF01 design. The layout of
this component is critical to the antenna performance
and should be copied accurately from the available
gerber files.

Figure 2 here above is only meant to show the basic
design; the picture is from simulation used as a basis
for the actual physical design. The gerber files should
be leading in any customer design.
