This application note discusses the necessary information for you to use a WirelessUSB™ LP radio in a product intended for the Japanese market. WirelessUSB-based systems require a certification to market the product to make certain that it meets international regulations and national laws. This application note serves as a reference point in selecting a WirelessUSB LP radio for your application needs. The use of a Cypress radio chip and its suitability for Japanese product development is demonstrated by providing the compliance data on a reference development kit.

This application note demonstrates the performance of the WirelessUSB radio chip CYRF6936 against Japanese requirements by submitting a reference radio development kit to meet the Japanese requirements. Purpose This application note gives you an overview of the legal issues governing the manufacture and sale of wireless products intended for unlicensed operation in Japan. Although the operation of wireless radio devices in the ISM band (2.4 to 2.5 GHz) is license-free, products incorporating a WirelessUSB radio chip must be typecertified or meet certain requirements. In Japan, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication is responsible for the regulation of all wireless radio devices. Japanese Authorization Process Radio Law The Japanese Radio Law provides rules for product development using wireless devices. Document No. 001-17581 Rev. *B 1 WirelessUSB™ LP RDK Japanese Radio Law Testing and Verification Type Certification (Radio Law Article 38-17) Testing is conducted on one sample unit for each type of radio equipment applying for certification. An example of this type of testing is that done by the Registered Certification Body System (Radio Law Article 38-17) shown in Figure 1. In this system, a person registered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications conducts an inspection of radio equipment under foreign statue and makes an application certifying that the specified radio equipment complies with technical standards of the Radio Law for use in Japan. The WirelessUSB LP reference design kit (RDK) CY4672 was verified in this way to fulfill Japanese compliance by D.S.P. Research, one of the registered certification bodies in Japan. The WirelessUSB LP RDK has a precertified chip set and reference designs certified by D.S.P. Research. D.S.P.Research enables you to waive the regular compliance procedure on your devices built with WirelessUSB LP RDK. Contact the sales department of D.S.P.Research ([email protected]). Figure 1. Flow Chart of Type Certification www.cypress.com Document No. 001-17581 Rev. *B 2 WirelessUSB™ LP RDK Japanese Radio Law Testing and Verification The Japanese Radio Law testing requirements and a brief overview of the required tests are described in the following section. Mouse with Input Power 3.0 V The tests are as follows: Frequency tolerance Occupied bandwidth and spread bandwidth Transmission output power Spurious emission strength Secondarily emitted radio wave strength Burst ratio The RDK consists of a mouse, keyboard, and a dongle. The mouse and keyboard are tested at two supply voltages and the dongle is tested at a single supply voltage. Measurement Details This application note documents the measurements and data collected on the RDK - mouse, keyboard, and dongle using the WirelessUSB LP chip. This is used to verify that the radio module meets the Japanese regulation. The Japanese Radio Law testing was performed at the DSP Research test facility on a Cypress RDK. 1. The mouse, keyboard, and dongle are tested individually. 2. The mouse, keyboard, and dongle are installed with EMC Test code to exercise the radio in singlefrequency transmit mode. The mouse, keyboard, and dongle are set up to transmit continuously at lowest, middle, and highest frequency channels. 3. Performed all the tests required by Japanese Radio Law at lowest channel at 2402 MHz, mid channel at 2439 MHz and highest channel at 2479 MHz. All measurements are taken with the power level set at 7. www.cypress.com Document No. 001-17581 Rev. *B 3 WirelessUSB™ LP RDK Japanese Radio Law Testing and Verification Test Results Frequency Tolerance www.cypress.com Document No. 001-17581 Rev. *B 4 WirelessUSB™ LP RDK Japanese Radio Law Testing and Verification Occupied Bandwidth and Spread Bandwidth Transmission Output Power Spurious Emission Strength Table 1.
