3. RF Specifications
The EM9190 includes Four MHF4 RF connectors for use with host-supplied antennas, and eight
MHF7S connectors for use with up to four mmWave antenna modules (2 connectors per antenna
module):
Figure 3-1 Module Connectors Include Image with Spacing Info
Sub-6G/GNSS connectors:
Main: Primary Tx/PRx path for 3G/4G/5G (except for n41)
Auxiliary: Diversity Rx (except for n41) and GNSS L1
MIMO1: MIMO1 Rx Path and n41 TRx
MIMO2: MIMO2 Rx Path and n41 DRx and GNSS L5
mmWave connectors:
Eight connectors
— Up to four mmWave antenna modules (QTM525 or QTM527), two
connectors as a pair (H/V) for each. The EM9190 module does not have integrated antennas.
Refer to
for each pair of coaxial connections. For low-power usage, if not all 4
QTM525 modules are equipped, integration sequence from QTM0 to QTM3 is recommended,
leave unused connectors NC (Contact Sierra Wireless as the RFC has to be updated to reflect
the number of QTMs). Note that for high-
power usage, it’s not recommended to leave any
QTM527 NC as it will violate 3GPP EIRP compliance for PC1.
