Smaller bandwidths provide more channels to choose and help avoid interference issues. The system’s SNR is higher at smaller Channel Bandwidths and Range is longer.Note 2 Max allowed Tx power depends on the regulatory domainAntenna Signal Strength -35 to -85 dBm (Recommended), Absolute Maximum=+12 dBmAntenna port isolation for concurrent operationUp to +10 dBm signal strength for 5 GHz signal without degrading 2.4 GHz operationUp to +5 dBm signal strength for 2.4 GHz signal without degrading 5.x GHz operationIntegrated Antenna Port Protection >20 KV (Human Body Model)Receiver LNA Gain >10 dBReceiver Adjacent Channel Rejection (ACR) >18 dB @ 11a, 6 Mbps (Typ)Receiver Alternate Channel Rejection (ALCR) >35 dB @ 11a, 6 Mbps (Typ)Receive chain Noise Figure +6 dBTransmitter Adjacent ChannelLeakage power Ratio (ACLR) 45 dB (Fc ± ChBW)Transmitter Spurious Emission Suppression -40 dBcRF Power control In 0.5 dBm steps.

FCC StatementChanges or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority tooperate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCCRules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with theinstructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will notoccur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can bedetermined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of thefollowing 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 helpThis 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 operationSingapore: USA:Doodle Labs (SG) Pte.

This modular cannot be installed in any portable device, for example, USB dongle like transmitters is forbidden.If the FCC identification number is 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. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID:2AG87NM-DB-3N Or Contains FCC ID:2AG87NM-DB-3N” when the module is installed inside another device, the user manual of this device must contain below warning statements; 1. 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. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 2. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The devices must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product.The antenna type used is the reverse screw R-SMA antenna and the max antenna gain is 3dBi.The diagram shows how to connect the modular with its intended antenna .Modular Coaxial Line(50 )ΩAntenna
