About the RIM 1902G and RIM 1802G radio modems The RIM OEM Radio Modem for GSM/GPRS Wireless Networks sets a new standard for radio modem performance. The radio modem’s small size and weight makes it suitable for virtually any wireless data and voice application, including handheld devices and mobile terminals. Its multislot class allows for the highest allowable download rates using a single receiver on a GPRS network. -
Page 15: Range Of Applications
• small size These benefits of these features are described below. Range of applications RIM radio modems are designed to integrate easily into computing devices for a wide range of applications, such as the following ones: • laptop computers •... -
Page 16: Receiver Sensitivity
The RIM 1902G and RIM 1802G typically have receiver sensitivities of -107 dBm with a 2.2439% bit error rate (BER). Note: BER is an industry standard error rate that is used to define sensitivity; it does not indicate that 2.2439% of the data that is passed by the radio to the application is corrupted. -
Page 17: Powerful And Efficient Transmitter
When necessary, the RIM 1902G can supply a full 1 watt at 1900 MHz and 0.8 watts at 850 MHz. The RIM 1802G can supply a full 1 watt at 1800 MHz and 2 watts at 900 MHz. The RIM 1902G and RIM 1802G quickly decrease the output power when it is close to a base station, because a stronger signal is needed only when the radio modem is far from a base station. - Page 18 Chapter 1: The RIM OEM Radio Modem for GSM/GPRS Wireless Networks RIM OEM Radio Modem for GSM/GPRS Wireless Networks...

Radio interface pins Pin descriptions Note: The symbol ~ before the label indicates that line is an active low digital signal. Label Description MIC N Analog Microphone Input Negative This is an analog input to the radio. MIC P Analog Microphone Input Positive This is an analog input to the radio. - Page 54 While this line is high, any data sent from the computing device to the RIM 1902G or RIM 1802G may be lost. This line is a flow control mechanism that is normally reacted to by the UART in your serial communication system. If you do not plan to use it, leave ~CTS disconnected.

Radio interface pins Label Description ~RTS ~Request To Send This line is an input to the radio modem. The active, request to send, state of this line is low. This line should be asserted low by the computing device to indicate that it is ready to receive data from the radio modem. - Page 56 AT+IPR=<rate> AT command. Secondary Receive This line is an output from the radio modem (for RIM internal use only). Warning: All unused inputs to the radio should be tied to ground, and any unused outputs from the radio should be left disconnected.
-
Page 57: Turning On And Turning Off The Radio
It is possible for the radio to be off even though TURNON is asserted. In this case, you can turn on the radio by setting TURNON low and then high again. Turning off the radio The RIM 1902G or RIM 1802G requires a controlled shutdown. You can turn the radio modem off by de-asserting TURNON Data that has been received by the radio modem from the network, but has not been transferred to the computing device, is not saved. -
Page 58: Resetting The Radio
Chapter 6: Interface specification Resetting the radio RIM recommends that you incorporate a method to remove power from pins 7 and 8 on the radio modem during the development and prototype phase. This enables the device to perform a hard reset of the radio modem, which can be useful in some debugging testing situations. -

Page 60: Antenna Terminology
At the antenna port, the output power of the RIM 1902G or RIM 1802G can be as high as 1W at 1900 MHz and 1800 MHz, 0.8W at 850 MHz, or 2W at900 MHz. The antenna gain (or loss) results in an increase (or decrease) in this value. -
Page 61: Selecting An Antenna
The optimal antenna radiation efficiency is produced by an antenna measuring one wavelength, l. The value of l for the RIM 1902G or RIM 1802G is calculated by dividing the speed of light c = 3 x 10 m/s by the center frequency. -

Antenna requirements The antenna system that is used with the RIM 1902G or RIM 1802G has the following minimum requirements: •... - Page 63 Antenna design considerations Vertical polarization Because the GPRS network is based on a vertically polarized radio-frequency transmission, the application’s antenna should be oriented vertically and upward when the radio modem is in use. In small, handheld devices, a user-friendly design enables the antenna to be folded out of the way when it is not in use.
