WL1835MOD: WL1835MOD FCC

Susan Yang

Part Number: WL1835MOD

I am using TI's WL1835MOD on my board with Tegra's K1 processor. Please find the photograph of the module. Since there is change in RF layout, I have to re-certify the wi-fi for intentional radiation.

TK1 runs a ubuntu and I was planning to use calibrator application to run the FCC tests, I read in this forum post that https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless_connectivity/wilink_wifi_bluetooth/f/307/t/552623, that calibrator cant be used for regulatory certification.

Can you please let us know, why calibrator cant be used for certification ? and on a linux environment what options do I have to put the DUT in continuous transmission mode for FCC testing.

Thank you

Calibrator can be used for putting the DUT into continous transmission mode:

processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL18xx_TX_Testing

However for full certifiaction different tools are used:
Please check the "Certification Information" section in the following wiki:

processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL18xx

However, as you are using our module on board you do not need to do full certification.

Please check the following link for info:

Thanks for your reply!

Due to changes in layout, I need to do re-certification that being said.

Please let me know what are those "different tools" to be used for certification testing.

I have a linux environment and I can't run RTTT (from the WirelessTools since that runs on Windows).

Also please let us know why "calibrator" cannot be used for FCC certification ? What are the limitations.

I have read the wiki pages suggested and I dont think those pages have any details answering these questions.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Gagesh,

We can actually use calibrator tool to set continuous mode. Please refer processors.wiki.ti.com/.../WL18xx_TX_Testing section 4 on the page. It provides the instructions to use calibrator tool in TX continuous mode.

Thanks,
Riz
