Page 20: Antenna Diversity
ANTENNAS Antenna Diversity Antenna diversity uses two receive antennas to improve the downlink connection (cell tower to mobile). It has no effect on the uplink (mobile to cell tower). Antenna diversity is useful in environments where the signal arrives at the device after bouncing off or around buildings or other objects. -
Page 21: Antenna Approvals And Safety Considerations
ANTENNAS Antenna Approvals and Safety Considerations Note the following: The carriers conduct antenna diversity tests. There are no EMC concerns about antenna diversity. All antennas need to have a minimum flammability rating. Safety requirements depend on your final product. Antennas are not approved for outdoor use. Do not extend antennas outside of any building. Diversity and Power Draw There are no significant power draw differences. -
