2. Mechanical specifications
2.1 Specifications
2.1.1 Mechanical dimensions
Mechanical drawings of the GT-Y3400 module following one.
Figure 3.Mechanical dimensions of the GT-Y3400 module
2.1.2 Mini PCI Express interface
The card edge connector of the GT-Y3400 module complies with the PCI Express Mini Card
specification and mates with a 52 pin Mini PCI Express connector.
This specification defines an implementation for small form factor PCI Express cards. The
specification uses a qualified sub-set of the same signal protocol, electrical definitions, and
configuration definitions as the PCI Express Base Specification, Revision 1.1. Where this
specification does not explicitly define PCI Express characteristics, the PCI Express Base
Specification governs.
The primary differences between a PCI Express add-in card (as defined by the PCI Express
Card Electromechanical Specification) and a PCI Express Mini Card add-in card is a unique
card form factor optimized for mobile computing platforms and a card-system interconnection
optimized for communication applications. Specifically, PCI Express Mini Card add-in cards are
smaller and have smaller connectors than standard PCI Express add-in cards.
Figure 4 shows a 52 pin PCI Express Mini Card connector.

Figure 5 shows a conceptual drawing of this form factor as it may be installed in a mobile
platform. Figure 5 does not reflect the actual dimensions and physical characteristics as those
details are specified elsewhere in this specification. However, it is representative of the general
concept of this specification to use a single system connector to support all necessary system
interfaces by means of a common edge connector. Communications media interfaces may be
provided via separate I/O connectors and RF connectors each with independent cables as
illustrated in Figure 5.

2.1.6 RFx information
The RF field strength of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your notebook
are well below all international RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless
devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than is allowed in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are
safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact
during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the
body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical.
This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices
are on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference basis with other devices operating at
this frequency. Any changes or modification to said product not expressly approved by Intel
could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
For more information, refer the attached document, please.

2.2.1 Measuring Method
The impedance over the frequency bands shall be as close as possible to

2. VSWR
The impedance matching should be optimized in the more critical talk
position.

2.3.2 Measuring Method
A 50 coaxial cable is connected(soldered) to the 50 point, at the duplex-
filter on the main PCB. The connection of the coaxial cable shall be done to
introduce a minimum of mismatch. As much as possible the coaxial cable
arrangement shall prevent influences from induced currents on the cable.
In the other end, the coaxial cable is connected to a network analyzer.
The measurement is performed at room temperature. The handset,
including the PCB, must not in any significant way differ from the mass
production, i.e. the antenna feeding network has to be equivalent to the
feeding network in mass production. The specification shall be met in the
entire frequency band.
