Primary use-cases are data-centric with data and voice connections to Telematics Service Providers (TSP). Note: The FE5RW0D31 Module support the DSDA (Dual Sim Dual Access) feature in HW, but DSDA is disabled from SW config, so the FE5RW0D31 will behavior like a single SIM Module.
The integrated device must provide RF connectors to external antennas or RF traces to connect the FE5RW0D31 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.
SAR will be required if the distance limitation cannot be met. The FE5RW0D31 module does not contain internal antennas and external antenna must be provided by the integrator or OEM. Based on FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C and 47 CRF §2.1091, for all standalone...
FE5RW0D31 Module Specification 4. The antenna used with this device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons, and must not transmit simultaneously with any other transmitter, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures.
FE5RW0D31 Module Specification 5 NAD Module RF Characteristics NAD Module RF Transmitter Output Power The Transmitter Power at the NAD antenna terminal (not the RF port of the evaluation board or the Telematics/parent module) at Room Temperature: GSM 850/900: +32.5 dBm +1.0/-2.0 dB GSM 1900/1800: +29.5 dBm +1.0/-2.0 dB...
9.1.1 NAD Antenna Breakout The FE5RW0D31 should be oriented on the main board to minimize the length of the primary Cellular TX/RX antenna (ANT1). This 50ohm line should be as short as possible to the external RF connector or internal antenna feed point.
Figure 9-2 Antenna Pad Ground Cutout x8 (detail view) 9.1.1.2 Parent PCB Antenna Pad Design Recommendation The main board on which the FE5RW0D31 will be mounted should have ground cut out under the RF antenna pins of the NAD as shown in Figure 9-3 and Figure 9-4:...
FE5RW0D31 Module Specification Figure 9-4 Antenna Pad Ground Cutout x8 (detail view) The dimensions of the RF trace on the Main Board will be dependent on the layer stack-up of the board, their thicknesses and how many layers are used. As an example, the main PCB shown in Figure 9-5 is a 6 layer stack up with Ground cut out on layer 5 so the microstrip lines on the bottom (layer 6) reference Ground on layer 4.
FE5RW0D31 Module Specification Type of Guidance Requirement Trace impedance 50±10% Ohms, single-ended Total route length < 100 mm Ground between signals > 1 x [RF line width] with stitched VIA to ground layer Spacing to other signals > 3 times RF line width, to any non-RF traces VSWR for Cellular Antenna <...
