5.2. Antenna Requirements
The following table shows the requirements on main antenna, Rx-diversity antenna and GNSS antenna.
Table 20: Antenna Requirements
Type
Requirements
GNSS
Frequency range: 1559MHz~1609MHz
Polarization: RHCP or linear
VSWR: < 2 (Typ.)
Passive antenna gain: > 0dBi
Active antenna noise figure: < 1.5dB
Active antenna gain: > 0dBi
Active antenna embedded LNA gain: < 17dB
GSM/EVDO/CDMA/UMTS/
TD-SCDMA/LTE
VSWR:
≤ 2
Efficiency: > 30%
Max input power: 50W
Input impedance: 50Ω
Cable insertion loss: < 1dB
(EGSM900, WCDMA B8, LTE-FDD B5/B8, EVDO/CDMA BC0)
Cable insertion loss: < 1.5dB
(DCS1800, WCDMA B1, LTE-FDD B1/B3, LTE-TDD B34/B39,
TD-SCDMA B34/B39)
Cable insertion loss: < 2dB
( LTE-TDD B38/B40/B41)
Since the GNSS port has a 2.85V voltage output, a passive antenna that causes shorting to GND, such
as PIFA antenna is not recommended.
