5 Antenna

The antenna connection and board layout design are the most important part in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product overall performances, hence read carefully and follow the requirements and the guidelines for a proper design.

5.1 GSM Antenna Requirements

As suggested on the Product Description the antenna and antenna line on PCB for a Telit GE863- QUAD/PY device shall fulfil the following requirements:

	ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS

Frequency range		Standard Dual Band GSM/DCS frequency
		range or
		Standard Quad Band GSM/DCS/PCS
		frequency range if used for all four bands
Bandwidth		80 MHz in GSM900, 70MHz in GSM850 &
		170 MHz in DCS & 140 MHz PCS band
Gain		Gain < 3dBi
Impedance		50 ohm
Input power		> 2 W peak power
VSWR absolute		<= 10:1
max
VSWR		<= 2:1
recommended

When using the Telit GE863-QUAD/PY, since there's no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to the GE863-QUAD/PY through the PCB with the antenna pad.

In the case that the antenna is not directly developed on the same PCB, hence directly connected at the antenna pad of the GE863-QUAD/PY, then a PCB line is needed in order to connect with it or with its connector.

This line of transmission shall fulfil the following requirements:

ANTENNA LINE ON PCB REQUIREMENTS

Impedance	50 ohm
Max Attenuation	0,3 dB

No coupling with other signals allowed

Cold End (Ground Plane) of antenna shall be equipotential to the GE863-QUAD/PY ground pins

Furthermore if the device is developed for the US market and/or Canada market, it shall comply to the FCC and/or IC approval requirements:
