1.除只测试场强的标准产品,如15.247或者15.231等产品,可以不提供天线增益的天线报告或者天线技术规格书。
其他FCC part 15C(如15.247….), FCC part 15 D, 15E等需要提供天线的报告或者技术规格书,里面包含天线增益的信息,而不再接受客户宣称的天线增益的说法。
官方原文如下:
URGENT - FCC Area of Concern-Antenna Gain Information
The following urgent information has been provided by the FCC:
Any applications granted without the proper antenna information will be dismissed after 5 business days of this email. The TCBs can request to have the application put in an audit status to update the antenna information.
This email is to bring to your attention that while the FCC has been advising test labs and TCBs to make sure part 15 applications includes antenna gain information, in terms of data sheets and/or test reports. This information is evident by recent audits confirming this information was omitted.
We are still finding reports that state, "antenna gain information is declared by the manufacturer", with no other supporting information. As we have re-iterated during the last TCB workshop, this statement will not suffice. All part 15 applications will need to show how the antenna gain was derived either from a manufacturer data sheet or a measurement. Where the gain of the antenna is inherently accounted for as a result of the measurement, example such as a field strength measurement on a part 15.249 or 15.231 device. As a result, the gain does not necessarily need to be verified. However, enough information regarding the construction of the antenna shall be provided. Such information maybe photographs, length of wire antenna etc.
The antenna gain information shall be made public. Any proprietary information such as construction maybe stripped from the gain information report and held confidential. The main antenna information we require is the maximum gain of the antenna for the band of operation. This information must be provided as a data sheet or a measurement report..
2.刚果ARPTC更新型式批准条例!
2022年7月11日,刚果邮政和电信监管局(APTC)发布了第34号公告,更新了终端设备和无线电装置的型式批准条款。
主要更新如下:
• 证书的有效期延长至5年,而不是2年;
• 根据规定,需要提供设备样品以获得批准;
• 2022年7月11日之前颁发的所有证书将保持其有效性;
• 所有其他应用程序都将属于此新法规的范围。
