Antenna requirements
6.5.1.
Main 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 performances, hence read
carefully and follow the requirements and the guidelines for a proper design.
The antenna and antenna transmission line on PCB for a Telit NB866B1 device shall fulfil
the following requirements:
Item
Value
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
