Better: Allow the module antenna area to overhang the edge of the board by ~6.0mm.

GEM3 Module Hardware Integration Guide Version 0.1
North Pole Engineering
221 N 1st St, Minneapolis, MN 55401
www.npe-inc.com
612.305.0440
2. Good: Define a copper keepout area approx. 53mm x 20mm, 6mm in from module edge.
Better: Increase the keepout area, starting at 6mm in from module edge.
3. Mechanical items (especially metal) should be kept as far as possible from the module
antenna in all directions, including above and below the board surface. If possible, move
mechanical items out and away from the keepout area.
4. Bottom layer ground plane under the module strongly recommended. Connect all ground
pins directly to ground plane.
5. Top layer ground plane is good to have wherever practical, but avoid having copper directly
under the module.
6. Place Via stitching where both top and bottom layer ground planes are used, especially along
the plane edges adjacent the module. 
Top-side area directly under the module should be kept clear of copper, silkscreen and vias

Note 3: Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used.
Note 4: The module may be operated only with the antenna with which it is authorized. Any antenna that is
of the same type and of equal or less directional gain as an antenna that is authorized with the intentional
radiator may be marketed with, and used with, that intentional radiator.
Note 5:Toensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions the host manufacturer isresponsible for
ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed andfully operational. For example, ifa host was
previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Supplier’s Declaration ofConformity
procedure without a transmitter certified module and a module isadded, the host manufacturer is
responsible for ensuring that the after the module isinstalled and operational the host continues tobe
compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements. Since this maydepend onthe details
ofhow the module isintegrated with the host, North Pole Engineering.shall provide guidance to the
host manufacturer for compliance with the Part 15B requirements.
Note 6:FCC IDlabel on the final system must belabeled with “Contains FCC ID: XRH-NPE105”or
