Table 35: Antenna Diversity Requirements
The second Rx antenna should not be located in the close vicinity of main antenna. 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. For the same reason, the Rx antenna should also be
cross polarized with respect to the main antenna.
Isolation between main antenna and Rx antenna must be at least 10 dB in all uplink
frequency bands.
Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) value should be as close as possible to zero, for
best diversity performance. ECC values below 0.5 on all frequency bands are
recommended.
GNSS Receiver
The LM940 integrates a GNSS receiver that could be used in Standalone mode and in A-
GPS (assisted GPS), according to the different configurations.
LM940 supports an active antenna.
