Signal traces must not be run underneath the module on the layer where the module is mounted. Have a complete ground pour in layer 2 for thermal dissipation. Have a solid ground plane and ground vias under the module for stable system and thermal dissipation. Increase the ground pour in the first layer and have all of the traces from the first layer on the inner layers, if possible. Signal traces can be run on a third layer under the solid ground layer, which is below the module mounting layer.

Antenna and RF Trace Routing Layout Guidelines Reference Guideline Description 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The RF trace antenna feed must be as short as possible beyond the ground reference. At this point, the trace starts to radiate. The RF trace bends must be gradual with an approximate maximum bend of 45 degrees with trace mitered. RF traces must not have sharp corners. RF traces must have via stitching on the ground plane beside the RF trace on both sides RF traces must have constant impedance (microstrip transmission line). For best results, the RF trace ground layer must be the ground layer immediately below the RF trace. The ground layer must be solid. There must be no traces or ground under the antenna section. RF traces must be as short as possible. The antenna, RF traces, and modules must be on the edge of the PCB product. The proximity of the antenna to the enclosure and the enclosure material must also be considered.

The distance of ANT1 and ANT2 must be greater than half of wavelength (62.5 mm @ 2.4 GHz). Figure 24. MIMO Antenna Spacing The supply routing guidelines are as follows:

For power supply routing, the power trace for VBAT must be at least 40 mil wide. The 1.8-V trace must be at least 18 mil wide. Make VBAT traces as wide as possible to ensure reduced inductance and trace resistance. The digital signals routing guidelines are as follows:

SDIO signals traces (CLK, CMD, D0, D1, D2, and D3) should be routed in parallel to each other and If possible, shield VBAT traces with ground above, below, and beside the traces. as short as possible (less than 12 cm). In addition, every trace length must be the same as the others. There should be enough space between traces greater than 1.5 times the trace width or ground to ensure signal quality, especially for the SDIO_CLK trace. Remember to keep them away from the other digital or analog signal traces. TI recommends adding ground shielding around these buses. SDIO Clock, PCM clock These digital clock signals are a source of noise. Keep the traces of these signals as short as possible. Whenever possible, maintain a clearance around them.

Host End Products An end product, incorporatingWL1835MODGB module, does not require additional testing or authorization for the WiFi transmitter as long as An antenna of the same or similar type and equal or less gain to the antenna used in theWL1835MODGB COM8Board (WL1835MODCOM8B [4])is used on the product Any restrictions found in the grants are followed in the OEMs end product integrating the TI module. Host end products can use the FCC ID of the certified module as the FCC ID of the host end product A label displaying the modules FCC ID must be affixed and visible on the host end product for approval FCC IDs are required for host end products with radio transmitters Customer's Responsibilities The manufacturer of the host end products are still responsible for any additional testing covered by the Class of the product. Device Class A and B. Customers still need to take their products through other FCC/IC testing such as unintentional radiators (FCC sub part 15B) including any other required regionally driven end product certifications including but not limited to EU directives. FCC Part 15 Cert. Process/Flow Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Sub Part A General Provisions &

Definitions Sub Part B Unintentional Radiators Devices, whose purpose is not to produce radio waves, but which do anyway, such as computers. Sub Part C Devices designed to produce Intentional Radiators coherent radio waves, such as small transmitters Customers can reuse TI's Certifications Device Class A and B Additional testing for intended use Additional testing maybe required for Host end product type. Class A: Digital Device for use in a commercial, industrial or business environment. Class B: Digital Device for use in a residential environment not withstanding use in commercial, business and industrial environments. The FCC allows for self-declaration for Part B so the process should be relatively painless The customer can refer to the Electronic Code of Federal Regulation for Telecommunications, Part 15: Radio Frequencies Devices [5] for more details on each sub part. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can the customer change the Antenna Gain?

Answer: Customers that copy the TI Reference Layout and modify it to use a lower gain antenna, can generallyleverage TI FCC ID through a Permissive Class 1 change. 2. Can the customer change the Layout or use diffeerent type of Antenna?

Answer: Customers that modify the antenna or layout in a way that changes the power (higher gain, shorter traces) are not able to leverage TI FCC ID through a Permissive Class 1 change. Such changes generally require additional testing and certification approval through a regulatory lab. 3. How can I get additional information on what is and is not permitted?

Answers: Changes to a modular radio or product will result in either a Permissive Change or a new FCC filing and WL18MOD Product Certification 3 ID number. The degree of change is the determining factor for both the process and the amount of supporting data required to illustrate compliance. LS Research is TI recommended partner and takes pride in helping customers evaluate and develop the most beneficial test plan to properly address these changes. IC [6] Certification The TI WL1835MODGBmodule is now certified for Industry Canada (IC) as a single-modular transmitter For Industry Canada, the TI WL1835MODGBmodule meets modular approval and labeling requirements. Industry Canada follows the same testing and rules as the FCC in regards to certified modules in authorized equipment. Host Product The IC ID of TIWL1835MODGB can be used on the Host End Product with a label that is visible, and displays the IC ID of theWL1835MODGA module The customer can refer to TI's[WL1835MODGB IC certification], once available.

ETSI [8]/CE Certification WL1835MODGBis designed toCE Certified The TIWL1835MODGB modulehas certifications to the appropriate EU radio and EMC directives summarized in TIs Declaration of Conformity)and evidenced by the CE Mark. This certification eliminates EU RTTE based retesting efforts, resulting in savings of more than $30K per product model family including test cycling and support resource benefits. For the conformity implications of attaching the antenna to a module that already has a conformance document -

From section 1.3.1 of the Guide to the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC [9]

Manufacturers who place on the market products without an antenna or with an antenna that is intended to allow replacement have a responsibility to provide information on the general types and/or characteristics of antennas that may be used with their equipment in order that the overall radio equipment remains compliant. The guidance of the transmitter manufacturer has to be followed when they are installed. It is important to note that ETSI reports meet CE Radio Approval requirements of the R&TTE (Europe) directive TIWL1835MODGB module is tested with ETSI EN300-328 radio tests which can be accepted by a number of countries for radio compliance. ETSI is not a certification or regulatory body but a set of standards. Host Products If a product has minimal risk, it can be self-certified where manufacturers complete a Declaration of Conformity and affixes the CE marking to their own product. Warning: EMC testing obligations may still be required as determined by the specific end product requirements. The end product will need to be filed in each country for certification using the FCC/ETSI reports. 40+ countries recognize and accept radio test reports compliant to ETSI standards as part of the filing process. Note that some countries do not recognize modular approval. ETSI reports help with End product testing with the module integrated, thus the tests do not need to be repeated. WL18MOD Product Certification 4 TELEC [10] Certification WL1835MODGBis TELEC Certified TELEC Certification number for the TIWL1835MODGB Module will be available upon request Customers don't need to take additional test for Japan radio raw for WL1835MODGB, when they use the recommended antenna with WL1835MODGB.

Countries Accepting FCC/ETSI Reports TIs FCC/ETSI test reports can be used to file for certifications with 40+ other countries. The end product's manufacturer will need to file in each country for certification using the FCC/ETSI reports. Some countries do not recognize modular approval. FCC/ESTI reports help with End product testing with the module integrated and the tests do not need to be repeated. Countries in red, can file FCC/ETSI reports. Certification in these countries, can be as easy as a paperwork exercise and Fees, when accompanied with the FCC/ETSI reports during the filing process. Countries in blue are covered by CE Marking Note: Please consult with your Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) regarding any regulatory certifications. The information are recommended guidelines only and shall not be used as a process for regulatory Host End Product, Module or any other regulatory certifications WL18MOD Product Certification 5 References
