GSM Antenna Requirements All major suppliers of GSM antennas can supply GSM900
Antennas with FME plugs to connect with the M20 Terminal
for a variety of applications. Some antenna examples are
shown below.
The antenna must satisfy the following electrical
requirements:
Frequency TX 890-915 MHz
Frequency RX 935-960 MHz
Impedance 50 ohms
VSWR TX: max. 1.7:1 installed
VSWR RX: max. 1.9:1 installed
Gain > 1.5 dB referenced to λ/2 dipole
3dB width of cone
vertical: 80°
horizontal: 360°
Max. power: 1 W (cw), 2 W peak; at ambient
temperature of 55°C
Depending on the application and the RF field at the local
site, the GSM antenna may be mounted directly or via cable.
The maximum antenna cable length is 8.0 m (including 20 cm
M20 Terminal-cable)
NOTE: The maximum number of push/pull cycles shall not
exceed 100.
The antenna interface connector of the M20 unit is a FME
connector (of type SMR nano (male)). Hence, the connector
on the GSM antenna or antenna cable has to be of type SMR
nano (female, or use a double female connector in between).
