1. General Description
The Realtek RTL8821CE is a highly integrated single-chip that support 1-stream 802.11ac
solutions with Wireless LAN (WLAN) PCI Express network interface controller with integrated
Bluetooth 2.1/4.2 USB interface controller. It combines a WLAN MAC, a 1T1R capable WLAN
baseband, and RF in s single chip. The RTL8821CE provides a complete solution for a high-
performance integrated wireless and Bluetooth device.
The RTL8821CE baseband implements Multi-user Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU
MIMO)Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) STA mode with one transmit and
one receive paths(1T1R). Features include one spatial stream transmissions, short Guard Interval
(GI) of 400ns, spatial spreading, and support for variant channel bandwidth. Moreover,
RTL8821CE provides one spatial stream space-time block code (STBC), Transmit Beamforming
(TxBF) and Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) to extend the range of transmission. As the
recipient, the RTL8821CE also supports explicit sounding packet feedback that helps senders with
beamforming capability.
For legacy compatibility, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Complementary Code
Keying (CCK)and OFDM baseband processing are included to support all IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
and 802.11a data [Link] phase shift keying modulation schemes, DBPSK and DQPSK
with data scrambling capability are available, and CCK provides support for legacy data rates, with
long or short preamble. The high speed FFT/IFFT paths, combined with BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM,
64QAM and 256QAM modulation of the individual subcarriers, and rate compatible coding rate of
1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 5/6, provide up to 433.3Mbps for IEEE 802.11ac OFDM.
The RTL8821CE builds in an enhanced signal detector, an adaptive frequency domain
equalizer, and a soft-decision Viterbi decoder to alleviate severe multi-path effects and mutual
interference in the reception of multiple streams. Robust interference detection and suppression are
provided to protect against Bluetooth, cordless phone, and microwave oven interference.
Receive vector diversity for multi-stream application is implemented for efficient utilization of
the MIMO channel. Efficient IQ-imbalance, DC offset, phase noise, frequency offset, and timing
offset compensations are provided for the radio frequency front-end.
The RTL8821CE supports fast receiver Automatic Gain Control (AGC) with synchronous and
asynchronous control loops among antennas, antenna diversity functions, and adaptive transmit
power control functions to obtain better performance in the analog portions of the transceiver.
The RTL8821CE MAC supports 802.11e for multimedia applications, 802.11i and WAPI
(Wireless Authentication Privacy Infrastructure) for security, and 802.11n/802.11ac for enhanced
MAC protocol efficiency. Using packet aggregation techniques such as A-MPDU with BA and A-
MSDU, protocol efficiency is significantly improved. Power saving mechanisms such as Legacy
Power Save, U-APSD, and MIMO power saving reduce the power wasted during idle time, and
compensate for the extra power required to transmit OFDM. The RTL8821CE provides simple
legacy, 20MHz/40MHz/80MHz co-existence mechanisms to ensure backward and network
compatibility.

FCC warning:
1. This device should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator&your body.
2. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
3. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
4. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
5. The devices must be installed and used in strict accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions as described in the user documentation that comes
with the product.
Any company of the host device which install this modular should perform
the test of radiated emission and spurious emission according to FCC part
15C : 15.247 15.407 and 15.209 requirement, and the module should comply with
the KDB file 996369 Module approval, Only if the test result comply with these
requirement,then the host can be sold legally.
6. During operation, the separation distance between user and the antenna shall be
at least 20cm.
7. The host product shall be properly labelled to identify the modules within the
host product. The FCC certification label of a module shall be clearly visible at all
times when installed in the host product; otherwise, the host product must be
labelled to display the FCC certification number for the
module, preceded by the word "contains" or similar wording expressing the same
meaning, as follows:
Contains FCC ID: 2AGQ3-8821
In this case, 2AGQ3-8821 is the module's certification number.
8. This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1)The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the
antenna and users, and
2)The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or
antenna.
