Chapter 3 – Cellular Information
Antenna System Cellular Devices
The cellular/wireless performance depends on the implementation and antenna design. The integration of the
antenna system into the product is a critical part of the design process; therefore, it is essential to consider it early
so the performance is not compromised. If changes are made to the device's certified antenna system, then
recertification will be required by specific network carriers.
Requirements for Cellular Antennas with regard to FCC/IC Compliance
There cannot be any alteration to the authorized antenna system. The antenna system must maintain the same
specifications. The antenna must be the same type, with similar in-band and out-of-band radiation patterns.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below and having a maximum gain for 850 MHz
of <= 6.4 dBi , for 1700 MHz of <= 6.5 dBi, and for 1900 MHz of <= 3 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or that
have a gain greater than specified are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance
is 50 ohms.
