LSEVK-WP-01-A2-UG Copyright © 2010 LS Research, LLC Page 31 of 35 3 EMC Compliance Application Guide 3.1 Introduction The TiWi module has been tested as Modular Radio in accordance with the FCC [].The device has been tested to relevant FCC parts and the results of the testing may be found in the module’s test report [2]. Since this module and its associated set of approved antenna has been certified as a Modular Radio, this allows the end user to integrate this module into an end-product and only be responsible for the Unintentional Emissions levels produced by the product. The manufacturer of the module is the responsible for the compliance of the Intentional Emissions produced by the module, as long as, the recommendations presented in this application guide. 3.2 Module Integration Considerations – Antenna Systems the module must be used with one of the approved antennas: LS Research 001-0001 with LS Research U.FL to Reverse Polarity SMA conector cable (LS Research 080-0001). 1. Ethertronics Presetta 1000423 and Johnson Emerson U.FL. to U.FL coaxial cable 415-0088-150. The antennas should placed such that they are 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. The clearances associated with the SAR compliance must be maintained. 3.3 Module Integration Considerations – Circuit Implementation The module should be integrated according to either the application circuit found in the device data sheet or in accordance with the circuit provided for the evaluation board, along with best engineering practices to minimize unintentional EMC emissions. 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.

LSEVK-WP-01-A2-UG Copyright © 2010 LS Research, LLC Page 32 of 35 3.4 Module Integration Considerations - Top Assembly Considerations. 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 be not routed anywhere close the module and its associated circuitry on the PCB, doing so could change the emission characteristics of the module. 3.5 Module Integration Considerations – Firmware The module must use the specific operational firmware provided by LSR for the module. This firmware includes: 1. Binary image: FW1273r1c_sta_cortex.bin (version 185). 2. ini.ini. configuration file. 3.6 Testing Requirements for End-Product Once the module is integrated and the product realized, the product must be tested and follow the verification process for Unintentional Conducted and Radiated Emissions in accordance to the FCC guidelines [7]. The module is to be placed in the receive mode for this test (see step 20). 3.7 Marking Requirements for End-Product and Compliance Statements. Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement 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 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.

LSEVK-WP-01-A2-UG Copyright © 2010 LS Research, LLC Page 33 of 35 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. INDUSTRY CANADA STATEMENTS 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. 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 permitted for successful communication. This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in Section 3.2, and having a maximum gain of 4.3 and -0.6 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 4.3 and 0.6 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. OEM Responsibilities to comply with FCC and Industry Canada Regulations The TiWi-R1 Module has been certified for integration into products only by OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1. The antenna(s) must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times. 2. The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 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.).

LSEVK-WP-01-A2-UG Copyright © 2010 LS Research, LLC Page 34 of 35 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. End Product Labeling The TiWi-R1Module is labeled with its own FCC ID and IC Certification Number. If the FCC ID and IC Certification Number are not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. In that case, the final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: TFB-TWI1-01” “Contains Transmitter Module IC: 5969A-TIWI101” or “Contains FCC ID: TFB-TIWI1-01” “Contains IC: 5969A-TIWI101” The OEM of the TiWi-R1 Module must only use the approved antenna(s) listed above, which have been certified with this module. The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module or change RF related parameters in the user manual of the end product. The user manual for the end product must include the following information in a prominent location: “To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation exposure limits for general population, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed such that a minimum separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all persons at all times and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
