A03302 Specification Document Page 2 of 10 1. Overview1.1 Purpose This document defines requirements for integrating the surface mount Garmin A03302 2-way satellite transceiver module with a host design. 1.2 Introduction The A03302 module is a standalone 2-way satellite communication short burst data transceiver solution. The module is designed as a surface mount, package-on-package (POP) PCB; requiring a mating area on the host PCB of approximately 31mm X 38mm. A host processor is required to interface to the module via UART. The module includes a GPS pass-through option, allowing for a single antenna solution for both GNSS and satellite communication. If this option is not used, the GPS_LNA_OUT pin must be properly terminated. A 49.9Ω 1% resistor can be used. 1.3 Dimensions The following section shows mechanical drawings and dimensions. Care must be taken to prevent shorts between exposed test points of the module and the host PCB. Figure 1: A03302 Module Dimensions
A03302 Specification Document Page 9 of 10 To simplify product integration, the A03302 module includes a GNSS pass-through circuit. This circuit includes a RF switch, pre-selector filter, LNA, and RF power splitter. During transmissions, the RF switch moves the antenna path from the receiver to the PA. During this time, there will be no antenna connection to the host GNSS front end. Note the signal loss resulting from the splitter. 3 Regulatory Approvals and Compliance for Garmin A03302 SBD Transceiver Module3.1 Unauthorized Changes Garmin has not approved any changes or modifications to this device by the user. Any changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 3.2 Host Requirements This module is limited to OEM installation ONLY. The OEM Integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install the module. A host product manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. For example, if a host product was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator without containing a certified transmitter module, then a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the host continues to be compliant with unintentional radiator requirements after the module is installed and operational. 3.3 Radio Interference This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. This radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a maximum gain of 3 dBi. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication 3.4 RF Exposure This module is limited to installation in mobile or fixed installations. This equipment complies with FCC and IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 24 cm between the radiator and your body. Antenna gain must not exceed: 3.0 dBi. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. .
A03302 Specification Document Page 10 of 10 3.5 FCC Class B Digital Device Notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 3.6 Labelling Requirements for the Host device The host device shall be properly labelled to identify the modules within the host device. The certification label of the module shall be clearly visible at all times when installed in the host device, otherwise the host device must be labelled to display the FCC ID and IC of the module, preceded by the words "Contains transmitter module", or the word "Contains", or similar wording expressing the same meaning, as follows: Contains FCC ID: IPH-03302 or Contains transmitter module FCC ID: IPH-03302 Contains IC: 1792A-03302 or Contains transmitter module IC: 1792A-03302 The host OEM user manual must also contain clear instructions on how end users can find and/or access the module’s IC and FCC ID.
