redundancy. Because two antennas may experience difference interference effects (signal
distortion, delay, etc.), when one antenna receives a degraded signal, the other may not be
similarly affected.

1. Tracking sensitivity is the lowest GNSS signal level for which the device can still detect an
in-view satellite 50% of the time when in sequential tracking mode.
2. Acquisition sensitivity is the lowest GNSS signal level for which the device can still detect
an in-view satellite 50% of the time.

Measured at the RF connector.
Includes mismatch losses, losses in the
matching circuit, and antenna losses,
excluding cable loss.
Sierra Wireless recommends using
antenna efficiency as the primary
parameter for evaluating the antenna
system.
Peak gain is not a good indication of
antenna performance when integrated
with a host device (the antenna does not
provide omni-directional gain patterns).
Peak gain can be affected by antenna
size, location, design type, etc. — the
antenna gain patterns remain fixed unless
one or more of these parameters change.

If antennas can be moved, test all
positions for both antennas.
Make sure all other wireless devices
(Bluetooth or WLAN antennas, etc.) are
turned OFF to avoid interference.
Measure power endurance over 4 hours
(estimated talk time) using a 2 W CW
signal — set the CW test signal frequency
to the middle of the PCS Tx band
(1880 MHz for PCS).
Visually inspect device to ensure there is
no damage to the antenna structure and
matching components.
VSWR / TIS / TRP measurements taken
before and after this test must show
similar results.
Power handling
> 2 W RF power on low bands

a. These worst-case VSWR figures for the transmitter bands may not guarantee RSE levels to be within regulatory limits. The
device alone meets all regulatory emissions limits when tested into a cabled (conducted) 50 ohm system. With antenna
designs with up to 2.5:1 VSWR or worse, the radiated emissions could exceed limits. The antenna system may need to be
tuned in order to meet the RSE limits as the complex match between the module and antenna can cause unwanted levels of
emissions. Tuning may include antenna pattern changes, phase/delay adjustment, passive component matching. Examples of
the application test limits would be included in FCC Part 22, Part 24 and Part 27, test case 4.2.16 for GSM (ETSI EN 301 511),
and test case 4.2.2 for WCDMA (ETSI EN 301 908-1), where applicable.

Note: This is NOT an exhaustive list of design considerations. It is expected
that you will employ good design practices and engineering principles in your
integration.
Table B-1: Hardware integration design considerations
Suggestion
Section where discussed
Component placement
Protect the SIM socket so the SIM cannot be removed while the
host is powered up.
SIM implementation on
page 32
If an ESD suppressor is not used, allow space on the SIM
connector for series resistors in layout. (Up to 100 may be
used depending on ESD testing requirements).
SIM implementation on
page 32
Minimize RF cable losses as these affect performance values
listed in product specification documents.
RF connections on page 37
Antennas
Match the module/antenna coax connections to 50 —
mismatched antenna impedance and cable loss negatively
affect RF performance.
RF connections on page 37
If installing CDMA and UMTS modules in the same device,
consider using separate antennas for maximum performance.
Antenna and cabling on
page 38
Power
Make sure the power supply can handle the maximum current
specified for the module type.
Power consumption on
page 49
SIM implementation on
Limit the total impedance of VCC and GND connections to the
page 32
SIM at the connector to less than 1 (including any trace
impedance and lumped element components—inductors, filters,
etc.). All other lines must have a trace impedance less than 2 .
Decouple the VCC line close to the SIM socket. The longer the
trace length (impedance) from socket to module, the greater the
capacitance requirement to meet compliance tests.
SIM implementation on
page 32
EMI / ESD
Investigate sources of localized interference early in the design
cycle.

Suggestion
Section where discussed
SIM implementation on
Provide ESD protection for the SIM connector at the exposed
contact point (in particular, the CLK, VCC, IO, and RESET lines). page 32
Keep very low capacitance traces on the USIM_DATA and
USIM_CLK signals.
SIM implementation on
page 32
To minimize noise leakage, establish a very good ground
connection between the module and host.
Ground connection on page 39
Route cables away from noise sources (for example, power
supplies, LCD assemblies, etc.).
Methods to mitigate decreased
Rx performance on page 40
Shield high RF-emitting components of the host device (for
example, main processor, parallel bus, etc.).
Methods to mitigate decreased
Rx performance on page 40
Use discrete filtering on low frequency lines to filter out unwanted
high-order harmonic energy.
Methods to mitigate decreased
Rx performance on page 40
Use multi-layer PCBs to form shielding layers around high-speed
clock traces.
Methods to mitigate decreased
Rx performance on page 40
Thermal
Test to worst case operating conditions—temperature, voltage,
and operation mode (transmitter on 100% duty cycle, maximum
power).
Thermal considerations on
page 62
Use appropriate techniques to reduce module temperatures (for
example, airflow, heat sinks, heat-relief tape, module placement,
etc.).

Make sure the host USB driver supports remote wakeup,
resume, and suspend operations, and serial port emulation.

Also, consider using an RF shielding box — local government regulations may prohibit
unauthorized transmissions.

Note: The module has a nominal output power of +23 dBm 1 dB in WCDMA mode.
However, the value measured by the power meter is significantly influenced (beyond the
stated 1 dB output power tolerance) by the test setup (host RF cabling loss, antenna
efficiency and pattern, test antenna efficiency and pattern, and choice of shield box).
Note: When doing the same test over the air in an RF chamber, values are likely to be
significantly lower.

1xEV-DO
Single Carrier (1X) EVolution – Data Only. A high-speed standard for cellular
packet data communications.
Supports Internet connections with data rates up to 3.1 Mbps (downlink from the
network) and 1.8 Mbps (uplink to the network). Average data rates are roughly: for
Rev. A: 600 1300 kbps (downlink from the network) and 300 400 kbps (uplink to
the network); for Rev. 0: 400 700 kbps (downlink from the network) and 40 80
kbps (uplink to the network). Actual speed depends on the network conditions.
Compare to 1X.
1X
Single Carrier (1X) Radio Transmission Technology. A high-speed standard for
cellular packet data communications.
Supports Internet connections with data rates up to 153 kbps (simultaneously in
each direction—downlink and uplink). Actual speed depends on the network
conditions. Compare to 1xEV-DO.

CDMA
Code Division Multiple Access.
A wideband spread spectrum technique used in digital cellular, personal
communications services, and other wireless networks. Wide channels (1.25
MHz) are obtained through spread spectrum transmissions, thus allowing many
active users to share the same channel. Each user is assigned a unique digital
code, which differentiates the individual conversations on the same channel.

dBm
A logarithmic (base 10) measure of relative power (dB for decibels); relative to
milliwatts (m). A dBm value will be 30 units (1000 times) larger (less negative)
than a dBW value, because of the difference in scale (milliwatts vs. watts).
