13.2.2 ATWINC3400-MR210UA Approved External Antennas

The ATWINC3400-MR210UA module is approved for use with the antennas listed in the following table. It is permissible to use a different antenna, provided the antenna is of the same type, gain (equal or less than), and has similar in-band and out-of-band characteristics are present (refer to specification sheet for cutoff frequencies).

If other antenna types are used, the OEM installer must conduct the necessary assessments and authorize the antenna with respective regulatory agencies and ensure compliance. For more details on the corresponding regulatory approval sections, Appendix A: Regulatory Approval.

Note:
  1. If the end-product using the module is designed to have an antenna port that is accessible to the end user, then the unique antenna connector (permissible by FCC) must be used (for example, Reverse Polarity (RP)- SMA).
  2. If an RF coaxial cable is used between the module RF output and the enclosure, then the unique antenna connector must be used in the enclosure wall to interface with an antenna.
  3. Contact the antenna vendor for detailed antenna specifications to review suitability to end-product operating environment and to identify alternatives.
