11.1 Approved Antennas
The ATSAMR30M18A is tested and approved to use with the antennas listed in the following table.
If other antenna types are used, the OEM installer must authorize the antenna with the respective regulatory agencies and ensure its compliance. The used antenna is to be connected to the ATSAMR30M18A module via PCB trace in the host board as in the SAMR30 Module XPRO board or SAMR30M Sensor board.
| Manufacturer | Part Number | Antenna Type | Peak Gain | Operating Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Pulse Electronics | W1910/W1911(1) | Monopole Antenna | 1.0 dBi | 824-960 MHz and 1710-2170 MHz |
| Johanson Technology Inc. | 0900AT43A0070 | Chip Antenna | 2.0 dBi | 858-928 MHz |
| — | — | PCB Antenna | 0.44 dBi | 868-928 MHz |
Note:
- If the end product using the module is designed to have an antenna port that is accessible to the end user, a unique (nonstandard) antenna connector (refer to FCC KDB 353028) must be used; for example, Reverse Polarity – SMA.
- If an RF coaxial cable is used between the module RF output and the enclosure, a unique (nonstandard) antenna connector must be used in the enclosure wall for interfacing with the antenna.
- Contact the antenna vendor for detailed antenna specifications to review suitability to end-product operating environment and to identify equivalent alternatives.
