1: Introduction
Sierra Wireless’ AirPrime Intelligent Embedded Modules form the
radio component for the products in which they are embedded.
The AirPrime MC7700 is available for use on LTE, WCDMA and GSM
networks.
Note: An understanding of
network technology, and
experience in integrating
hardware components into
electronic equipment is
assumed.
Purpose of this guide
This guide addresses issues that affect the integration of AirPrime
embedded modules into host products, and includes design
recommendations for the host products.
The Universal Development Kit
Sierra Wireless manufactures a Universal Development Kit (UDK)
that facilitates all phases of the integration process.
This kit is a hardware development platform that is designed to
support the AirPrime embedded modules. It contains the hardware
components that are typically necessary for evaluating and
developing with the module, including:
•Development board
•Cables
•Antennas
•Other accessories
For instructions on setting up the UDK, see PCI Express Mini Card
Dev Kit Quick Start Guide (Document 2130705).
Required connectors
Note: Contact vendors
before choosing your
connectors—the numbers
included here are for
reference only. Choose
connectors that are appro-
priate to your design.
When integrating AirPrime embedded modules into your host device,
you need the following connector types:
•RF cables that mate with Hirose U.FL connectors (model
U.FL #CL331-0471-0-10). Modules include two or three
connector jacks depending on module support for diversity and
GPS functionality.
•Industry-standard mating connector for 52-pin EDGE—some
manufacturers include Tyco, Foxconn, and Molex. For example,
the connector used on the Mini Card Dev Kit board is a Molex
67910-0001.
•Industry-standard USIM connector—the actual connector you
use depends on how your device exposes the USIM socket. For
example, the USIM connector used on the Mini Card Dev Kit
board is an ITT CCM03-3518.

2: Power Interface
Overview of operation
AirPrime embedded modules are designed to use a 3.3V (nominal)
power supply provided by the host. It is the host’s responsibility to
provide safe and continuous power to the module at all times; the
module does NOT have an independent power supply, or protection
circuits to guard against electrical issues.
The module’s power state is controlled by the host’s assertion/
deassertion of W_Disable#. The module also monitors its supply
voltage and requests shutdown if the supply is insufficient.
Power signals
The module must be connected to a 3.3V power supply, as described
in PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification Revision
1.1.
For detailed pinout and voltage/current requirements of these
modules, see the Product Technical Specification Document for your
AirPrime embedded module.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
You are responsible for ensuring that the host has adequate ESD
protection on digital circuits and antenna ports as described by the
following specifications:
•(Operational) RF port (antenna launch and RF connector): IEC-
61000-4-2—Level (Electrostatic Discharge Immunity Test)
•(Non-operational) Host connector interface: JESD22-A114-B +/-
1kV Human Body Model and JESD22-C101 +/- 125 V Charged
Device Model
This guide provides specific recommendations where needed,
however, the level of protection required depends on your application.
Note: ESD protection is highly recommended for the USIM connector at the
point where the contacts are exposed, and for any other signals from the host
interface that would be subjected to ESD by the user of the product.

RF connection
When attaching an antenna 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 a Hirose U.FL connector (model U.FL #CL331-0471-0-10) to attach an
antenna to a connection point on the module.
•Match coaxial connections between the module and the 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.
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.
Shielding
The module is fully shielded to protect against EMI and must not be removed.
Antenna and cabling
When selecting the antenna and cable, it is critical to RF performance to match
antenna gain and cable loss.
Choosing the correct antenna and cabling
Consider the following points for proper matching of 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.
•The system gain value affects both radiated power and regulatory (FCC, IC,
CE, etc.) test results.
RF Integration
Rev 4.0.1 May.11 Proprietary and Confidential 13
Developing custom antennas
Consider the following points when developing custom-designed antennas:
•A skilled RF engineer should do the development to ensure that the RF
performance is maintained.
•Identify the bands that need to be supported
Determining the antenna’s location
Consider the following points when deciding where to put the antenna:
•Antenna location may affect RF performance. Although the module is
shielded to prevent interference in most applications, the placement 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 perfor-
mance.
•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.
Interference and sensitivity
Note: The MC7700 is
based on ZIF (Zero Inter-
mediate Frequency)
technologies. When
performing EMC (Electro-
magnetic Compatibility)
tests, there are no IF
(Intermediate Frequency)
components from the
module to consider.
Several sources of interference can affect the RF performance of the module
(RF desense). Common sources include power supply noise and device-
generated RF.
RF desense can be addressed through a combination of mitigation techniques
and radiated sensitivity measurement.
Power supply noise
Noise in the power supply can lead to noise in the RF signal.
The power supply ripple limit for the module is no more than 200 mVp-p 1 Hz to
100 kHz. This limit includes voltage ripple due to transmitter burst activity.
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:
•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.
AirPrime MC7700 Hardware Integration Guide
14 Proprietary and Confidential 2130114
•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.
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
Device-generated RF interference
The module can cause interference with other devices. Wireless devices such as
AirPrime embedded modules transmit in bursts (pulse transients) for set durations
(RF burst frequencies). Hearing aids and speakers convert these burst
frequencies into audible frequencies, resulting in audible noise.
