UART Pins of MSM_CTS, MSM_RTS, MSM_RXD and MSM_TXD are 1.8V level respectively for the external interface, when connecting with level circuit which is not 1.8V will need the level switch connection. Pins of MO_RI, DCD, DTR and DSR are the level of 2.85V respectively for the external interface, when connecting with level circuit which is not 2.85V will need the level switch connection. Otherwise, UART will be unstable or module will be damaged because of the unmatched level. Figure 3-3, 3-4 and 3-5 are the references: NOTES: 1）UART must be led out[only requires the connection with RXD or TXD] for upgrading when use the module to do whole device design, USB for software upgrading is the first choice. 2）IO level is 1.8V or 2.85V. Level switch connection must be needed when 1.8V level is connected with the logic circuit which is not 1.8V[such as MCU, RS232 or driver IC MAX3238], or when 2.85V level is connected with the logic circuit which is not 2.85V[for example, RS232 or driver IC MAX3238]. Otherwise, level will be unstable or module will be damaged because of the unmatched level 3）Only RXD and TXD are needed to be connected under the condition of no flow control. RXD, TXD, /CTS and /RTS are needed to be used when selecting hardware flow control to connect other processors. All IO signal should be connected when the module is used as Modem to connect with PC. 4）Module won’t be hibernated if RxD is high level.

All Rights reserved, No Spreading abroad without Permission 21 MC2261 Hardware Development Guide of Module Product 4. ANTENNA INTERFACE The RF interface of the MC2261 Module has an impedance of 50 ohm. The module is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna connector or pad without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power. The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power, DC-power consumption, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are not included on the MC2261 Module PCB and should be placed in the host application. Regarding the return loss, the Module provides the following values in the active band: Table 4–1 Return Loss in the Active Band State of Module Return Loss of Module Recommended Return Loss of Application Receive ≥ 8dB ≥ 12dB Transmit not applicable ≥ 12dB The connection of the antenna or other equipment must be de coupled from DC voltage. This is necessary because the antenna connector is DC coupled to ground via an inductor for ESD protection. 4.1. ANTENNA INSTALLATION To suit the physical design of individual applications, the MC2261 offers two alternatives approached to connecting the antenna: ■ Recommended approach: CS-G2-SS1S-1.6S antenna connector manufactured by Percsson assembled on the daughter board. See Section 4.3 for details. CS-G2-SS1S-1.6D antenna connector manufactured by Percsson assembled on the component side of the PCB (top view on Module). See Section 4.3 for details. ■ Antenna pad and grounding plane placed on the bottom side. See Section 4.2 for details. The SSMB-50TKE-10 and NMM22-5017 connectors have been chosen as antenna reference point (ARP) for the ZTE reference equipment submitted to type approve the MC2261 Module. All RF data specified throughout this manual are related to the ARP. For compliance with the test results of the ZTE type approval you are advised to give priority to the connector, rather than using the antenna pad. NOTE: Both solutions can be applied alternatively. This means, if the antenna is connected to the pad, then the connector on the Module must be left empty. If the antenna is connected to daughter board, the connector on the Module must be left empty too. And when the antenna is connected to the Module connector, the pad is useless. 4.2. ANTENNA PAD The antenna pad of the module is soldered to the board on the customer design to connect with RF line. For proper grounding connect the RF line to the ground plane on the bottom of the MC2261 Module which must be connected to the ground plane of the application. Consider that according to CDMA recommendations as 50Ω connector is mandatory for type approval measurements. It must be ensured that the RF line which is connected to antenna pad should be controlled on 50Ω. Notes on soldering ■ To prevent damage to the Module and to obtain long-term solder joint properties, you are advised to maintain the standards of good engineering practice for soldering.

OVERVIEW A 50 ohm coaxial RF connector is provided for Module testing. However, we advise customers lead from the antenna pad at the RF line to the antenna. Figure 5–1 CDMA Connector Another 50 ohm coaxial RF connector on daughter board is provided for Module testing and customer showing. Figure 5–2 CDMA Connector on daughter board The integrator must provide a suitable antenna that works in the desired frequency band of operation. The Antenna connected to the CDMA connector should be a dual band antenna supporting the US PCS and Cellular bands.
All Rights reserved, No Spreading abroad without Permission 25 MC2261 Hardware Development Guide of Module Product Table 5–1 The requirement of dual band antenna NOTE: TX refers to the transmit from the module into the antenna (Reverse Link of the CDMA system), and RX refers to the receive from the antenna into the module (Forward Link of the CDMA system). 5.2. ANTENNA SUBSYSTEM The antenna sub-system and its design is a major part of the final product integration. Special attention and care should be taken in adhering to the following guidelines. 5.2.1. ANTENNA SPECIFICATIONS Choice of the antenna cable (type, length, performance, RF loss, etc) and antenna connector (type + losses) can have a major impact on the success of the design. 5.2.2. CABLE LOSS All cables have RF losses. Minimizing the length of the cable between the antenna and the RF connectors on the module will help obtain superior performance. High Quality/Low loss co-axial cables should be used to connect the antenna to the RF connectors. Contact the antenna vendor for the specific type of cable that interfaces with their antenna and ask them to detail the RF losses of the cables supplied along with the antenna. Typically, the cable length should be such that they have no more than 1-2dB of loss. Though the system will work with longer (lossy) cables, this will degrade CDMA system performance. Care should also be taken to ensure that the cable end connectors/terminations are well assembled to minimize losses and to offer a reliable, sturdy connection to the Module sub-system. This is particularly important for applications where the module is mounted on a mobile or portable environment where it is subject to shock and vibration. 5.2.3. ANTENNA GAIN MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS It is recommended that the antenna chosen have at least 2 dBi gain in the cellular band and 4 dBi in the PCS band. The Antenna subsystem shall also have at least 8 dB of return loss at the input with respect to a 50-ohm system. 5.2.4. ANTENNA GAIN MAXIMUM REQUIREMENTS Our FCC Grant imposes a maximum gain for the antenna subsystem: 7 dBi for the Cellular band and 13dBi for the PCS band. Warning: Excessive gain could damage sensitive RF circuits and void the warranty. 5.2.5. ANTENNA MATCHING The module’s RF connectors are designed to work with a 50-ohm subsystem. It is assumed that the antenna chosen has matching internal to it to match between the 50-ohm RF connectors and the antenna impedance. Band TX Frequency RX Frequency PCS 1850-1910 MHz 1930-1990 MHz Cellular 824-849 MHz 869-894 MHz
All Rights reserved, No Spreading abroad without Permission 26 MC2261 Hardware Development Guide of Module Product Figure 5–3 Antenna Matching Circuit . 5.2.6. PCB DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS • The antenna subsystem should be treated like any other RF system or component. It should be isolated as much as possible from any noise generating circuitry including the interface signals via filtering and shielding. • As a general recommendation all components or chips operating at high frequencies such as micro controllers, memory, DC/DC converts and other RF components should not be placed too close to the module. When such cases exist, correct supply and ground de-coupling areas should be designed and validated. • Avoid placing the components around the RF connection and close to the RF line between the RF antenna and the module. • RF lines and cables should be as short as possible. • If using coaxial cable it should not be placed close to devices operating at low frequencies. Signals like charger circuits may require some EMI/RFI decoupling such as filter capacitors or ferrite beads. • Adding external impedance matching to improve the match to your cable and antenna assemblies is optional. Please contact the antenna vendor for matching requirements. • For better ESD protection one can implement a shock coil to ground and place it close to the RF connector. 5.2.7. OTHER PRECAUTIONS V_MAIN_3V7 are used to supply the module. The module internally regulates these to obtain regulated voltages to supply both the baseband and RF parts of the Module. V_MAIN_3V7 directly supplies the RDF components with 3.7V. It is essential to keep the voltage ripple to a minimum at this connection in order to avoid phase error. Insufficient power supply voltage can dramatically affect some RF performance such as TX power, modulation spectrum EMC performance, and spurious emissions and frequency error. The RF connections are 50-ohm impedance systems and are a DC short to ground. Best effort should be made to provide low insertion loss and shielding between the external antenna and RF connections over the frequency band of interest. 5.2.8. GROUNDING On terminals including the antenna, poor shielding can dramatically affect the sensitivity of the terminal. Moreover the power emitted through the antenna can affect the application.
