SATELLINE-M3-TR8 SATELLINE-M3-TR9 Integration Guide, Version 1.7 10 CONSIDERATIONS 10.1 EMI Interferers The module is designed to be mounted inside a host device. The module is designed to withstand EMI even beyond type approval requirements. However, a small module which is integrated closely to modern high speed electronics is bound to receive some interference.
SATELLINE-M3-TR8 SATELLINE-M3-TR9 Integration Guide, Version 1.7 Consequently, the module should be subject to ESD handling precautions that typically apply to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates this module.
The power level limit is defined separately for each sub-band. The maximum power limit for each sub-band is pre-programmed into the SATELLINE-M3-TR8. The user can choose from 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 mW ERP* output power for frequency variant 868…870 MHz and for Indian frequency variant 865…867 MHz following power levels: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000...
