Approved Antennas

When integrating high-gain antennas, European regulations stipulate EIRP power maximums.
Use the following guidelines to determine which antennas to design into an application.
XBee RF Module
The following antenna types have been tested and approved for use with the XBee Module:
Antenna Type: Yagi
RF module was tested and approved with 15 dBi antenna gain with 1 dB cable-loss (EIRP
Maximum of 14 dBm). Any Yagi type antenna with 14 dBi gain or less can be used with no cable-
loss.
Antenna Type: Omni-directional
RF module was tested and approved with 15 dBi antenna gain with 1 dB cable-loss (EIRP
Maximum of 14 dBm). Any Omni-directional type antenna with 14 dBi gain or less can be used
with no cable-loss.
Antenna Type: Flat Panel
RF module was tested and approved with 19 dBi antenna gain with 4.8 dB cable-loss (EIRP
Maximum of 14.2 dBm). Any Flat Panel type antenna with 14.2 dBi gain or less can be used with
no cable-loss.
XBee-PRO RF Module (@ 10 dBm Transmit Power, PL parameter value must equal 0, or use
International variant)
The following antennas have been tested and approved for use with the embedded XBee-PRO RF
Module:
• Dipole (2.1 dBi, Omni-directional, Articulated RPSMA, Digi part number A24-HABSM)
• Chip Antenna (-1.5 dBi)
• Attached Monopole Whip (1.5 dBi)
The RF modem encasement was designed to accommodate the RPSMA antenna option.
