SIM5215&SIM5216 provides a RF antenna connector and a antenna pad. Customer's antenna can be
soldered to the module antenna pad or connected to module's antenna connector through a 50Ω RF cable.
SIMCom recommends that the total insertion loss of RF cable should meet the following requirements:
GSM900/GSM850 <1dB
●
DCS1800/PCS1900 <1.5dB
●
WCDMA 2100/1900 <1.5dB
●
WCDMA 900/850 <1dB
