IPEX antenna used for RAK3172 FCC certification

LPWAN Modules / EVBs RAK3172

I saw some other topics related but I still couldn’t find the proper antenna I need for the RAK3172 module (IPEX). Your FCC certification specifies:

“Antenna info
Antenna type: IPEX Antenna
Manufacturer: Shenzhen RAKwireless Technology Co., Ltd.
Model name: 501-0132-X1
Antenna gain: 2.3dBi”

Where can I find that “501-0132-X1” antenna so I can avoid headaches with FCC certification for my product? I tried searching on your store but I couldn’t find it.

Also, can I use this antenna? Would FCC approve my product with it?

Thank you!

The antenna used in the certification is our Blade antenna 915Mhz.

Regarding the PCB antenna, it has a lower gain.
If your used antenna’s gain is lower than the gain of the antenna used in the certification, there should be no problem, but it is best to confirm with your certification lab first.
