3: RF Specifications
The NM7371 operates on the frequency bands listed below.
RF connections
When attaching antennas to the module:
Note: To disconnect the
antenna, make sure you use
the Hirose U.FL connector
removal tool
(P / N UFL-LP-N-2(01)) to
prevent damage to the
module or coaxial cable
assembly.
•
Use Hirose U.FL connectors (3 mm x 3 mm, low profile; model
U.FL #CL331-0471-0-10) to attach antennas to the module’s
connection points.
•
Match coaxial connections between the module and antenna to 50 .
•
Minimize RF cable losses to the antenna; the recommended maximum
cable loss for antenna cabling is 0.5 dB.
•
To ensure best thermal performance, if possible use the mounting
holes to attach (ground) the device to the main PCB ground or a metal
chassis.
Note: If the antenna connection is shorted or open, the modem will not sustain
permanent damage.
Shielding
The module is fully shielded to protect against EMI and must not be
removed.
Antenna
When selecting antennas for use with NM7371, refer to MPE
requirements and limitations defined within the FCC application and
available on the FCC website.
Choosing the correct antenna cabling
When matching antennas and cabling:
•
The antenna (and associated circuitry) should have a nominal
impedance of 50  with a return loss of better than 10 dB across
each frequency band of operation.
Determining the antenna’s location
When deciding where to put the antennas:
•
Rev 3 Sep.13
Antenna location may affect RF performance. Although the module is
shielded to prevent interference in most applications, the placement
Proprietary and Confidential
11
NM7371 Hardware Integration Guide
of the antenna is still very important — if the host device is insufficiently shielded,
high levels of broadband or spurious noise can degrade the module’s performance.
•
Connecting cables between the module and the antenna must have 50 
impedance. If the impedance of the module is mismatched, RF performance is
reduced significantly.
•
Antenna cables should be routed, if possible, away from noise sources (switching
power supplies, LCD assemblies, etc.). If the cables are near the noise sources, the
noise may be coupled into the RF cable and into the antenna.
Ground connection
When connecting the module to system ground:
•
Prevent noise leakage by establishing a very good ground connection to the module
through the host connector.
•
Connect to system ground using the two mounting holes at the top of the module.
•
Minimize ground noise leakage into the RF.
Depending on the host board design, noise could potentially be coupled to the
module from the host board. This is mainly an issue for host designs that have
signals traveling along the length of the module, or circuitry operating at both ends
of the module interconnects.
Interference and sensitivity
Several interference sources can affect the module’s RF performance (RF desense).
Common sources include power supply noise and device-generated RF.
RF desense can be addressed through a combination of mitigation techniques (Methods
to mitigate decreased Rx performance on page 13) and radiated sensitivity
measurement.
Note: The NM7371 is based on ZIF (Zero Intermediate Frequency) technologies. When
performing EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) tests, there are no IF (Intermediate Frequency)
components from the module to consider.
Interference from other wireless devices
Wireless devices operating inside the host device can cause interference that affects
the module.
To determine the most suitable locations for antennas on your host device, evaluate
each wireless device’s radio system, considering the following:
12
•
Any harmonics, sub-harmonics, or cross-products of signals generated by wireless
devices that fall in the module’s Rx range may cause spurious response, resulting in
decreased Rx performance.
•
The Tx power and corresponding broadband noise of other wireless devices may
overload or increase the noise floor of the module’s receiver, resulting in Rx
desense.
Proprietary and Confidential
2400338
The severity of this interference depends on the closeness of the other antennas to the
module’s antenna. To determine suitable locations for each wireless device’s antenna,
thoroughly evaluate your host device’s design.
Host-generated RF interference
All electronic computing devices generate RF interference that can negatively affect the
receive sensitivity of the module.
Proximity of host electronics to the antenna in wireless devices can contribute to
decreased Rx performance. Components that are most likely to cause this include:
•
Microprocessor and memory
•
Display panel and display drivers
•
Switching-mode power supplies
Methods to mitigate decreased Rx performance
It is important to investigate sources of localized interference early in the design cycle.
To reduce the effect of device-generated RF on Rx performance:
•
Put the antenna as far as possible from sources of interference. The drawback is
that the module may be less convenient to use.
•
Shield the host device. The module itself is well shielded to avoid external interference. However, the antenna cannot be shielded for obvious reasons. In most
instances, it is necessary to employ shielding on the components of the host device
(such as the main processor and parallel bus) that have the highest RF emissions.
•
Filter out unwanted high-order harmonic energy by using discrete filtering on low
frequency lines.
•
Form shielding layers around high-speed clock traces by using multi-layer PCBs.
•
Route antenna cables away from noise sources.
Radiated Spurious Emissions (RSE)
When designing an antenna for use with NETGEAR embedded modules, the host device
with a NETGEAR embedded module must satisfy the radiated spurious emissions (RSE)
test cases described in 3GPP2 (CDMA) and 3GPP (LTE).
Note that antenna impedance affects radiated emissions, which must be compared
against the conducted 50-ohm emissions baseline. (NETGEAR embedded modules meet
the 50-ohm conducted emissions requirement.)
