Page 13: Antenna And Cabling
RF Specifications Antenna and cabling When selecting the antenna and cable, it is critical to RF performance to match antenna gain and cable loss. Choosing the correct antenna and cabling When matching antennas and cabling: • The antenna (and associated circuitry) should have a nominal impedance of 50 ... -
Page 14: Ground Connection
Hardware Integration Guide Ground connection When connecting the module to system ground: • Prevent noise leakage by establishing a very good ground connection to the module through the host connector. • Connect to system ground using the module’s mounting hole. •... -
Page 15: Device-Generated Rf Interference
RF Specifications Proximity of host electronics to the antenna in wireless devices can contribute to decreased Rx performance. Components that are most likely to cause this include: • Microprocessor and memory • Display panel and display drivers • Switching-mode power supplies Device-generated RF interference The module can cause interference with other devices. -
Page 16: Radiated Sensitivity Measurement
To determine the extent of any receiver performance desensitization due to self- generated noise in the host device, over-the-air (OTA) or radiated testing is required. This testing can be performed by Sierra Wireless or you can use your own OTA test chamber for in-house testing. -
