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 OEM 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 Maxi-
mum 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 Maxi-
mum 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 Maxi-
mum 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 OEM RF Module (@ 10 dBm Transmit Power, PL parameter value must equal 0)
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, MaxStream 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.
Canada (IC)
Labeling Requirements
Labeling requirements for Industry Canada are similar to those of the FCC. A clearly visible label
on the outside of the final product enclosure must display the following text:
Contains Model XBee Radio, IC: 4214A-XBEE
Contains Model XBee-PRO Radio, IC: 4214A-XBEEPRO
The integrator is responsible for its product to comply with IC ICES-003 & FCC Part 15, Sub. B -
Unintentional Radiators. ICES-003 is the same as FCC Part 15 Sub. B and Industry Canada accepts
FCC test report or CISPR 22 test report for compliance with ICES-003.
Japan
In order to gain approval for use in Japan, the XBee-PRO RF Module must contain firmware that
limits its transmit power output to 10 dBm.
