Therefore radiated spurious emissions testing must be performed on each unique host device that
uses a certified SiP.
The host integrator must follow these steps:
Request a quote from any competent third party test lab for Radiated Spurious emissions testing
including restricted bands per FCC 15.247(d) for 2.4 GHz and 15.407(b) for 5 GHz.
This type of testing may be referred to as “permissive change” testing. However, it is not normally
required to submit the report to the regulator. A Class 2 Permissive Change filing is Not required and
should not be quoted by the test lab. Testing and a report is sufficient.
Testing may be performed conveniently at the same test lab and at the same time as the FCC Part
15B, digital emissions testing which is mandatory for every host design. However, the spurious
emission testing normally requires radio test software on the host device.
It is acceptable and desirable to perform the 15.247 / 15.407 radiated spurious testing early in the
design process - as soon as a final PCB design and functional system is available. This validation
testing need not be done using the final production version, as long as PCB and RF design is not
modified.
The third party lab report showing 15.247 / 15.407 compliance must be submitted to Rigado Inc
using the email address:

Please contact your Rigado Inc Account Representative or email any questions to above email
address for assistance preparing for the Radiated Spurious emissions testing. Rigado Inc can provide
further instructions if the OEM Integrator is not familiar with the Rigado Inc test software used to
support radio testing.
5. Additional Regulatory Conformance Testing and/or
Submissions Required by the Integrator
The modular certifications provided by Rigado Inc apply to radio conformance for the Module only.
The OEM integrator is responsible for additional system-level EMI/EMC, Product Safety and RF
Exposure testing and certification that applies in the U.S. and other countries. This includes, but is
not limited to, Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) Part 15 Class B Digital Emissions, ETSI EN
301 489-17, and others.
System-level EMC tests are to be done with the Module installed and included in the scope of the
submission.

6. Allowable Antennas to Use with the SiP Module
The module is certified for use only with certain antennas as described in the separate document
“QCA6234 SiP Module Certified Layout”. Specifically, a PCB Trace antenna. The document “QCA6234 SiP
Module Certified Layout” specifies a Trace Antenna design and reference a required Gerber file. Using this
design, the exact PCB trace antenna layout must be implemented on the host device.
WARNING: Use of a Trace Antenna design different than specified in the document is not allowed without
additional conformance testing and agreement from Rigado Inc. If an alternate antenna is desired by the
integrator, please contact Rigado Inc with details on the product and requested deviation from the allowed
antenna specifications referenced above. You may contact your Rigado Inc account representative or email:
