Meaning
Regulatory certification of a final product that integrates pre-approved modular transmitters requires verification of system-level electromagnetic compatibility. To achieve host level compliance, the manufacturer must ensure that the combination of the host device and the module does not exceed radiated emissions limits. This step is necessary because the host enclosure, power supply and cabling can alter the radiation characteristics of the transmitter.
Integration Standard
Modular approvals allow manufacturers to skip full transmitter testing but do not excuse the final product from basic digital device testing. The integration of the module must follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to maintain the validity of the modular certification.
System Verification
Final checks involve radiated emissions scans of the complete product in its intended commercial housing. These scans are performed with the integrated transmitters active and transmitting at maximum duty cycle.
Certification Scope
Technical files submitted to the telecommunications certification body must document this system-level evaluation. If the host level compliance check reveals emissions that exceed the limits, the designer must implement shielding or filtering on the host board. This verification is the last barrier before the product can be legally marketed.
It ensures that the combined system meets all national and international standards.
