2 Introduction
This document describes the method of integrating the General Dynamics Broadband PCI Express
Mini module into an OEM product.
2.1 Scope of Document
This document applies to the General Dynamics Broadband PCI Express Mini module only.
2.2 Overview of Module
The General Dynamics Broadband PCI Express Mini module provides a complete LTE wireless
modem solution and only requires to be inserted in a PCI Express Mini compliant interface and
connection of external antennas. The module is designed to minimise the time and resource required
to integrate.

3 Module Connections
3.1 PCI Express Mini Interface (J1)
The General Dynamics Broadband PCI Express Mini module is provided with a 52 pin edge connector
for connection to the external application. This connection supports the following interface types and
these are described below. The pinout is shown in Annex 1.
3.1.1 Universal Serial Bus
The PCI Express edge connector provides a USB 2.0 interface, this interface supports low speed
(1.5Mbps), full speed (12Mbps) and High speed (480Mbps) operation.
3.1.2 SIM Interface
The PCI Express edge connector provides a 4 line SIM interface to allow use with Subscriber Identity
Modules if required, this interface supports both 1.8V and 3.0V SIM’s. The SIM interface does not
provide ESD protection and this should be provided by the host device.
3.1.3 RF Connections
The General Dynamics Broadband PCI Express Mini module provides two RF connections for external
antennas. The main port must be connected, the diversity port may or may not be connected
depending upon application. The connector type is the Hirose U.FL series.
Figure 1: RF Connections
3.2 DC Power
The module requires a DC supply of between 3.0V to 3.6VDC with the nominal voltage being 3.3VDC,
maximum input current is 950mA at 3.3VDC. DC power is applied to the module via the PCI Express
Mini edge connector.

5 Regulatory Information
5.1 Compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations
The General Dynamics Broadband PCI Express Mini module is certified against FCC Part 27 for
operation in the 699-716MHz (Band 12) and 1710-1755MHz (Band4) frequency allocations and FCC
Part 90 for operation in the 788-798MHz (Band 14) frequency allocation.
The module certified under FCC ID: PKTPEMAMW (Bands 4 and 12) and is only certified for use with
external antennas, the maximum antenna gains to comply with EIRP/ERP and RF Exposure limits for
each band are shown below.
Band 4 – 5dBi
Band 12 – 8.6dBi (6.45dBd)
Please refer to the FCC Grant of Certification for this device.
The module certified under FCC ID: PKTPEMAMW1 (Bands 4, 12 and 14) and is only certified for use
with external antennas, the maximum antenna gains to comply with EIRP/ERP and RF Exposure limits
for each band are shown below.
Band 4 – 5dBi
Band 12 – 8.6dBi (6.45dBd)
Band 14 – 8.9dBi (6.85dBd)
Please refer to the FCC Grant of Certification for this device.
If the FCC ID label on the PCI Express Mini Module is not visible from outside of the host device, then
an additional label is required on the outside of the host device stating.
‘Contains FCC ID: PKTPEMAMW’ or ‘Contains FCC ID: PKTPEMAMW1’
IMPORTANT: Manufacturers of devices containing the General Dynamics Broadband PCI Express
Mini module are advised to.
1. Clarify any regulatory questions, particularly if the host device contains other radio
transceivers.
2. Have their final product tested and approved for FCC compliance.
3. Include instructions with the final product regarding meeting RF Exposure requirements of the
FCC rules.
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.
Caution: Changes or modifications not covered in this document must be approved in writing by
General Dynamics Broadband. Changes or modifications made without written approval may void the
user’s authority to operate this equipment.

5.2 Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
To comply with the FCC RF exposure rules, the UE PCI Express Mini module has been evaluated
against the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits defined in Section 1.1310 of the FCC rules
for the uncontrolled environment. During normal operation, all persons should maintain a distance of
at least 20cm from the antenna to ensure compliance with the MPE limits.
If after module integration, the user will be less than 20cm from the antennas additional RF exposure
assessment will be required.
