According to point 1.6.3.4: Antennas may be subdivided into “active” and “passive” types. “Active” antennas are supplied with one or more active electronic components (as diodes, transistors) interacting with the RF-signal. All other antennas are in general considered “passive”. Taking in account the definition of radio equipment in Article 2 of the Directive, passive antennas are not covered by RED if placed on the market as a single commercial unit.
