Material Statement: The End of Life Vehicle Directive (EVL) must be applied to the FE4RW0110 module. This means that the component is included into the overall vehicle (since it is permanently installed) and if the explanation of the materials used and, if applicable, disposal descriptions from the vehicle manufacturer.

III. The integrated device must provide RF connectors to external antennas or RF traces to connect the FE4RW0110 modules to antennas inside the integrated device. The typical reference design for the RF trace layout, including pcb stack-up and trace length is described in Section 6 of this document.

LTE Band 38: 9.0 dBi o LTE Band 41: 9.0 dBi • This radio transmitter (FCC ID: LHJ-FE4RW0110) has been approved by FCC to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

1. End-users must be provided with transmitter/antenna installation requirements and operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance: 2. A separate section should clearly state “FCC RF Exposure requirements:” 3. Required operating conditions for end users. 4. The antenna used with this device must be installed to satisfy RF exposure compliance. The antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed values listed above.

The figure below shows the general breakout of the module: Figure 2: NAD Pin Breakout The FE4RW0110NADs should be oriented on the main board to minimize the length of the primary LTE TX/RX antenna (LTE_ANT_1).

H = 19.3 mils (491 micron) Dielectric Constant = 4.1 For example, consider the following stackup for a main PCB: Figure 3: Recommended PCB Stack-up Assume the main PCB above with a 6 layer stack up with ground cut away on layer 2 so the microstrip lines reference ground on layer 3.

Figure 4: Stripline Impedance Calculations The calculation for the microstrip line width outside the NAD is 37.7mils (967micron) shown below: Figure 5: Microstrip Impedance Calculations Due to the nature of the weave chosen for each PCB, the dielectric constant of the NAD board is 4.1 while the main board is 4.3.
