HINTS FOR INTEGRATING THE RADIO DEVICE Connection of Components to Radio Device The integrator is responsible for the final integrated system. Incorrectly designed or installed, external components may cause radiation limits to be exceeded. For instance, improperly made connections or improperly installed antennas can disturb the network and lead to malfunctions in the radio device or equipment.
HINTS FOR INTEGRATING THE RADIO DEVICE Note! AGND and DGND are connected at a single point inside the radio device. They must not be joined together in your application. Audio Use a coupling capacitor in ATMS line if the application does not use the radio device’s bias voltage.
HINTS FOR INTEGRATING THE RADIO DEVICE E-GSM900/GSM1800 for the GM47r5 and GSM 850/GSM1900 for the GM48r5. • the impedance of the antenna and antenna cable must be 50Ω. • the antenna output-power handling must be a minimum of • the VSWR value should be less than 3:1 to avoid damage to the radio device.
Page 59
HINTS FOR INTEGRATING THE RADIO DEVICE • Path-loss occurs as the strength of the received signal steadily decreases in proportion to the distance from the transmitter. • Shadowing is a form of environmental attenuation of radio signals caused by hills, buildings, trees or even vehicles. This can be a particular problem inside buildings, especially if the walls are thick and reinforced.
TCP/IP STACK 8 TCP/IP Stack An on board IP/TCP/UDP stack has been integrated into the software negating the need for the customer to implement one in their own code base. The TCP/IP stack is accessible via AT commands. 8.1 Implementation The following types of commands allow various functions: •...
