RF Connections

When attaching antennas to the module:
LTE/WCDMA/GNSS connectors:
 Use RF plug connectors that are compatible with the following RF receptacle connectors:
I-PEX (20449-001E (MHF4)).
 Match coaxial connections between the module and the antenna to 50Ω.
 Minimize RF cable losses to the antenna; the recommended maximum cable loss for antenna
cabling is 0.5 dB.
To ensure best thermal performance, use the ground hole (if possible) to attach (ground) the
device to a metal chassis.
Note:
If antenna connection is shorted or open, the modem will not sustain permanent damage.
