Notes: 1. PCM_SYNC offset time = t(clk)/4.

4 Antenna interface

The RF interface has an impedance of 50Ω. To suit the physical design of individual applications
SIM5218E offers two alternatives:
Recommended approach: antenna connector on the component side of the PCB
Antenna pad and grounding plane placed on the bottom side.
To minimize the loss on the RF cable, it need be very careful to choose RF cable. We recommend
the insertion loss should be meet following requirement:
GSM900/GSM850<1dB
DCS1800/PCS1900<1.5dB
WCDMA 2100<1.5dB
WCDMA 1900<1.5dB
WCDMA 900<1dB
GPS<1dB

4.1 Antenna installation

4.1.1 Antenna connector

SIM5218E use MURATA's MM9329-2700 RF connector on the module side, we recommend user
use MURATA's MXTK88XXXXX as matching connector on the application side. Please refer to
appendix for detail info about MURATA's MXTK88XXXXX.
