3 3: RF Integration
The AirPrime EM7700 operates on the frequency bands listed below.
RF connection
When attaching antennas to the module:
• Use I-PEX connectors (model I-PEX MHF-A13) to attach
antennas to the module’s connection points.
• 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 a metal chassis.
