Page 14 of 33 A1101R09x – User’s Manual Release Date 05/08/12 2.1.1.2. End User Manual The end user manual should include the following statement: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
A1101R09x – User’s Manual Page 15 of 33 Release Date 05/08/12 2.1.2. Canada (Industry Canada, IC) The A1101R09A and A1101R09C modules have been certified for use in Canada under Industry Canada (IC) Radio Standards Specification (RSS) RSS-210 and RSS-Gen. From section 3.2 RSS-Gen, Issue 3, December 2010, Modular Approval for Category I Equipment or Category II Equipment: “Modular approval permits the installation of the same module in a host device or multiple host devices without the need to recertify the device.
Page 16 of 33 A1101R09x – User’s Manual Release Date 05/08/12 thereof). Each model shall be identified by a unique combination of a model number and a certification number, which are assigned as described below in this section. The label shall be securely affixed to a permanently attached part of the device, in a location where it is visible or easily accessible to the user, and shall not be readily detachable.
The user should use one of the register configurations listed below. Anaren provides register setting files for optimal performance and compliance for each of the data rates given in the following at www.anaren.com. Arrow.com.
Page 18 of 33 A1101R09x – User’s Manual Release Date 05/08/12 2.3.1. USA & Canada Within the USA and Canada, the modules have been approved for use as digitally modulated transmitters, for which they must have a minimum occupied bandwidth (6dB bandwidth) of 500kHz.
A1101R09x – User’s Manual Page 19 of 33 Release Date 05/08/12 3. Electrical Characteristics 3.1. Absolute Maximum Ratings Under no circumstances must the absolute maximum ratings given in Table 2 be violated. Stress exceeding one or more of the limiting values may cause permanent damage to the device.
The A1101R09A and A1101R09C radio modules share a common pin-out and foot print, that is also shared by Anaren modules using other frequencies -- thus enabling easy changeover from one to another, e.g. if changing the frequency, antenna scheme, or adaptive antenna tuning is desired.

Page 24 of 33 A1101R09x – User’s Manual Release Date 05/08/12 3.5. Power Supply Considerations Noise on the power supply line reduces the sensitivity of a receiver and modulates onto a transmitter’s signal, both of which causes a degradation of link quality and hence a reduction in range.
Page 28 of 33 A1101R09x – User’s Manual Release Date 05/08/12 4.3. Soldering AIR Modules may be mounted either manually (for prototyping or low volume production), or automatically for high-volume production. A no-clean tin/silver/copper (SAC) solder is recommended, however lead based no-clean pastes may also be used.
