
information (one of the AOM port).
Three NCM ports are virtual network ports, mainly for initiating data traffic.

Note
②:
About the Win8/Android system switch refer to the section 5.7, Android system requires the
corresponded drive is installed on PC.
③
Note : One of the AOM port can use for Modem COM port and initiate data services. Due to the speed of
Modem COM port is too slow to up to DL 300Mbpss, so it is not suggested. The Modem COM can be
used to initiate data services temporarily only while the client`s NCM port is useless.

Normally Open SIM Connector:
1)Pull out SIM card, pin 7 and pin 8 will disconnect.
2)Insert SIM card, pin 7 and pin 8 will short-circuit
Note:

In order to improve EMC performance, the SIM card slot should be close to the module to the largest
extent.

The filter capacitor on the SIM-card signal circuit should be placed close to SIM card pin to the largest
extent.

ESD device (like TVS) shall be added to the SIM-card signal circuit protection. ESD device should be
placed close to SIM card pin.

SIM card connector shall be with shielding function, to improve the anti-jamming capability of SIM
card

SIM1_CD signal connection supports hot-plugging; active high level by default(change to active low
through AT commands ). If the module detects the signal at high level, it means there is a card in the
module.
5.5.3 Points for Attention in USIM Design
SIM card interface design is very important for the normal operation of the module and SIM card.
The following points need to be complied with during the design:

SIM card layout and wiring must keep away from EMI interference source, like RF antenna and digital
L830-EA M.2 Module Hardware User Manual
Page 31 of 45
switch signal.

In order to ensure signal completeness, the wire distance between the module and SIM card should
not exceed 100mm.

In order to avoid mutual interference, USIM_CLK and USIM_IO signals should be separated in wiring.
It would be best to wrap them with ground wire respectively.

SIM card signal line should be protected with ESD. These protective devices should have small
capacitance (like Zener diode, etc.). Users are recommended to select ESD devices with equivalent
capacitance lower than 33pF. During layout, ESD device should be close to the SIM card interface.
5.5.4 USIM Hot-Plugging
L830-EA M.2 module supports SIM card status-detection function. This function allows the hot-plugging of
SIM card.
5.5.4.1 Hardware Connection
SIM card hot-plugging function needs to work with SIM_DETECT signal.
SIM_DETECT will be at low level without SIM card; after inserting SIM card, SIM_DETECT will be at high
level.
Note :

For “Normal closed” SIM card, as shown in the figure 5-7, SIM_DETECT signal line is connected to
U2’s Pin8 (SW2), and Pin7 (SW1) is connected to the ground. When the SIM card is not inserted,
SW2 and SW1 short circuit, SW2 will be at low level. When the SIM card is inserted, SW2 and SW1
will be disconnected, SIM_DETECT level will be pulled up.

For “Normal opened” SIM card, as shown in the figure 5-8, SIM_DETECT signal line is connected to
U2’s Pin8 (SW2), and Pin7 (SW1) will be pulled up 4.7K resistor . When the SIM card is not inserted,
SW2 and SW1 will be disconnected, then SW2 will be at low level. When the SIM card is inserted,
SW2 and SW1 will short circuit, SIM_DETECT level will be pulled up.
5.5.4.2 Software Settings
“+MSMPD” configures AT command for the SIM card status-detection function.

If set AT+MSMPD=0, SIM card status-detection function will be closed, and the module will not detect
SIM_DETECT signal.

If set AT+MSMPD=1, SIM card status-detection function will be in operation, and the module will
detect if the SIM card is inserted by SIM_DETECT Pin.

If SIM_DETECT is at high level, which indicates SIM card is inserted, the module will automatically
register it to the network.
L830-EA M.2 Module Hardware User Manual
Page 32 of 45
If SIM_DETECT is at low level, which indicates SIM card is not inserted, the module will not register it

to the network.
Note: the default of +MSMPD parameter is “1”.SIM_DETECT is the detection signal. While the module
first power on or plug after that, SIM_DETECT will detect if the SIM card is existing or not. Just only if the
SIM_DETECT is low level, the module will cannot read SIM card.

7.4 RF PCB Design
7.4.1 Wiring Principle
L830-EA adopts double RF antennas, the MAIN_ANT used for transmitting and receiving, the DIV_ANT
used for receiving. On the one hand, diversity antenna can improve the receiving sensitivity, on the other
hand, it can also improve the download speed. Because the L830-EA project is for LTE module, the
Antenna need double antennas can meet the performance requirements.
7.4.2 Impedance Design
The impedance of RF signal line of antenna interface needs to be controlled at 50 ohm.

7.5 Antenna Design
7.5.1 Main Antenna Design Requirements
(1) Antenna efficiency
Antenna efficiency is the ratio of the input power and radiant power. Because of the antenna’s return loss,
material loss and coupling loss, the radiant power is always lower than the input power. The ratio is
recommended to be > 40% (–4dB).
(2) S11 or VSWR
S11 shows the matching degree of the antenna’s 50 ohm impedance, which affects antenna efficiency to
a certain extent. It is feasible to use VSWR testing method to measure the index. It is recommended that
S11 < –10dB.
(3) Polarization
Polarization is the rotation direction of the electric field of the antenna at the direction of the largest
radiation.
It is recommended to use linear polarization; for diversity antenna, it is recommended to use different
polarization directions from that of the main antenna.
(4) Radiation pattern
Radiation pattern refers to the electromagnetic field intensity at various directions in the far field of the
antenna. Half-wave doublet antenna is the perfect terminal antenna. In the case of built-in antenna, it is
recommended to use PIFA.

Antenna area: H 6mm * W 10mm * L 100mm. It is recommended to use PIFA or IFA.

Antenna radiation direction: Omni-directional.
(5) Gain and directivity
Antenna directivity refers to the electromagnetic field intensity at various directions of the electromagnetic
wave. Gain is the combination of the antenna efficiency and antenna directivity. It is recommended that
antenna gain ≤ 3dBi.
(6) Interference
In addition to antenna performance, other interference from the PCB will also affect the module
performance. In order to ensure the high performance of the module, the interference must be under
control. Suggestions: keep speaker, LCD, CPU, FPC wiring, audio circuit, and power supply away from
the antenna; add appropriate separation and shielding devices, or conduct filtering on the path.
(7) TRP/TIS
