Chapter 3:Using the Antenna
The Digi Connect Wi-Wave development board supports two types of antennas:
29000095 ANT, WHIP 2.4-2.5 GHz Dipole (2.0000)
29000146 ANT, WHIP 2.4 GHz Dipole 5 dBi (2.0000)
Attach the U.FL-to-U.FL cables, provided in the development kit, to both the
module and the development board. There are two cables included; whether you
use one cable or both depends on how you set up your antenna(s).
Be sure that the antenna you use complies with the regulatory requirements of your
region. In North America, for example, you can operate only with antennas
approved by Digi International, Inc., or antennas matching the specifications of
Digi-approved antennas.
Necessary
Conditions for
Integration
The following conditions are necessary for integration:
The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the
antenna and users for all installations.
The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or
antenna.
The Module is approved using the FCC “unlicensed modular transmitter
approval” method; therefore, the module must be used with the originally-
approved antennas only.
As long as you meet these three conditions, further transmitter testing will not
be required. However, you are still responsible for testing your end-product
for any additional compliance requirements associated with this module
installation (e.g., digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
Note: In the event that any of these conditions cannot be met (e.g., portable
configurations, co-location with another transmitter, or use of a different antenna),
then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid, and you are unable to use
the FCC ID on the final product. In these circumstances, you will be responsible for
