4G EU variants with ALS3-E module: (extract from Gemalto ALS3-E Rel3 HD §5.2 GSM/UMTS/LTE Antenna Interface)
In order to comply with European regulation, external GSM antenna and cable shall meet following requirements:
RED requirements:
900 MHz GSM band : The combined cable loss antenna gain must not exceed 2.91 dBi
1800 MHz DCS band : The combined cable loss antenna gain must not exceed 9.36 dBi
WCDMA band 1 : The combined cable loss antenna gain must not exceed 12.34 dBi
WCDMA band 8 : The combined cable loss antenna gain must not exceed 9.06 dBi
The external antennas must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power,
modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Matching networks are not included on the ALS3-E PCB and
should be placed in the host application, if the antenna does not have an impedance of 50ohm.
Regarding the return loss ALS3-E provides the following values in the active band:
4G US variants with ALS3-US module: (extract from Gemalto ALS3-US Rel3 HD §9.2 Compliance with FCC and IC Rules
and Regulations)
In order to comply with US regulation, external GSM antenna and cable shall meet following requirements:
FCC:
850MHz GSM band : The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed 3.92 dBi
1900 MHz DCS band : The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed 2.51 dBi
WLAN 2,4GHz: The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed 2.07 dBi
WiFi 5 GHz: The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed 2.43 dBi
Manufacturers of mobile or fixed devices incorporating ALS3-US R3 modules are authorized to use the FCC
Grants and Industry Canada Certificates of the ALS3-US R3 modules for their own final products according to the
conditions referenced in these documents. In this case, the FCC label of the module shall be visible from the
outside, or the host device shall bear a second label stating "Contains FCC ID: QIPALS3-USR3" and accordingly
“Contains IC: 7830AALS3USR3“.
The integration is limited to fix or mobile categorized host devices, where a separation distance between the
antenna and any person of min. 20cm can be assured during normal operating conditions.
For mobile and fixed operation configurations the antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed the limits
listed in the following table for FCC and IC.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
