1. Overview
1.1 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.

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 Module
3.1 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.

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.
