Antenna
The antenna connection and board layout design are the most important aspect in the full
product design as they strongly affect the product overall performance, hence read carefully
and follow the requirements and the guidelines for a proper design.
7.1.
GSM Antenna Requirements
As suggested on the Product Description the antenna and antenna transmission line on PCB

Impedance
50 Ohm
Input power
> 2 W
VSWR absolute max
≤ 10:1 (limit to avoid permanent damage)
VSWR recommended
≤ 2:1 (limit to fulfi
ll all regulatory requirements)

GL865-DUAL V3 Antenna – PCB line Guidelines
When using the Telit GL865-DUAL V3 module, since there's no antenna connector on the
module, the antenna must be connected to the GL865-DUAL V3 through the PCB with the
antenna pad (
pin 34
).
In the case that the antenna is not directly developed on the same PCB, hence directly
connected at the antenna pad of the GL865-DUAL V3, then a PCB line is needed in order to
connect with it or with its connector.
