Note:
  1. Measured after the RF matching network and FEM output (assume 50 impedance).
  2. RF performance is ensured at 3.3V, 25°C, with a 2-3 dB change at boundary conditions.
  3. The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country-dependent and must be programmed in the host product at the factory to match the intended destination. Regulatory bodies prohibit exposing the settings to the end user. This requirement needs to be taken care of via host implementation.
  4. The host product manufacturer must ensure that the RF behavior adheres to the certification (for example, FCC, ISED) requirements when the module is installed in the final host product.
  5. This parameter is characterized but not tested in manufacturing.
  6. This parameter is characterized and tested in manufacturing.
