GSM/WCDMA Antenna – Installation Guidelines
Install the antenna in a place covered by the GSM/WCDMA signal.
The Antenna shall be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm
from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter;
If the device antenna is located greater then 20cm from the human body and there
are no co-located transmitter then the Telit FCC/IC approvals can be re-used by
the end product.
If the device antenna is located less then 20cm from the human body or there are
no co-located transmitter then the additional FCC/IC testing may be required for
the end product (Telit FCC/IC approvals cannot be reused)
Antenna shall not be installed inside metal cases;
Antenna shall be installed also according Antenna manufacturer instructions.
6.4.
Antenna Diversity Requirements
This product is including an input for a second RX antenna to improve the radio sensitivity.
The function is called Antenna Diversity.
ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS
Frequency range
Depending by frequency band(s) provided by the network operator, the
customer shall use the most suitable antenna for that/those band(s)
Bandwidth
HE920-EU
HE920-NA
WCDMA band I(2100) : 60 MHz
WCDMA band V(850) : 25 MHz
WCDMA band VIII(900) : 35 MHz
WCDMA band II(1900) : 60 MHz
WCDMA band IV(AWS) : 45 MHz
WCDMA band V(850) : 25 MHz
Impedance
50Ω
When using the Telit HE920, since there’s no antenna connector on the module, the antenna
must be connected to the HE920 antenna pad (AU9) by means of a transmission line
implemented on the PCB.
In the case that the antenna is not directly connected at the antenna pad of the HE920, then a
PCB line is required in order to connect with it or with its connector.
The second Rx antenna should not be located in the close vicinity of main antenna. In order to
improve Diversity Gain, Isolation and reduce mutual interaction, the two antennas should be
located at the maximum reciprocal distance possible, taking into consideration the available
space into the application.
