This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)This device may not cause harmful interference.
operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

5.6.2.2 Normally Open SIM Circuit Design
Reference Design:
For better EMC performance, SIM card holder should be close to module
Filtering capacitor should be close to SIM card pin
The interface need add ESD protection, ESD should be close to SIM card pin
USIM_IO is already pulled up inside the module
5.6.3 USIM Design Notice
Figure 5- 9 Normally Open SIM Interface Reference Design
Normally Open SIM:
1)Pull out SIM card, pin 7 and pin 8 are disconnected.
2)Inset SIM card, pin 7 and pin 8 are shorted.
Note:
USIM_CD support SIM hot plug, high level activated default (detect level can be changed by AT
command). If high level is detected, it means SIM card is inserted.
The SIM interface and signals design is extremely important.
There are several design guidelines that must be followed:
H350 LGA Serials Module Hardware User ManualPageof
43
36
The layout signals of the SIM card should be away from any possible EMI interference sources, such
as the RF antenna and digital switching signals.
To ensure signal integrity, the length between SIM interface signals and module should not exceed
100 mm
To avoid crosstalk between USIM_CLK and USIM_IO, it is recommended to route them separately on
the application board, and preferably isolated by a surrounding ground plane.
The SIM card signals should be protected from ESD using very low capacitance protective elements
(like Zener diode). The recommended part no of ESD is AVR-M1005C080MTAAB (TDK). ESD
component should layout with SIM hold closely.
5.6.4 USIM Hot Plug
H350 supports SIM hot plug.
5.6.4.1 Hardware Connection
5.6.4.2 Software Configuration
SIM hot plug function interacts with USIM_CD signal.
When no SIM card, USIM_CD is low level; insert SIM, USIM_CD is high level.
Explanation:
For normally closed SIM card circuit, as shown in Figure 5-8, USIM_CD connects Pin8 (SW2) of U2, Pin7
(SW1) connects GND. When there is no SIM card, SW2 and SW1 are shorted, so, SW2 is low level, when
insetting SIM card, SW1 and SW2 are disconnected, USIM_CD is pulled up.
For normally open SIM card circuit, as shown in Figure 5-9, USIM_CD connects Pin8 (SW2) of U2, and it
also connects GND with 47K resistor, Pin 7 is pulled up with 47K resistor. When no SIM card, SW2 and
SW1 are disconnected, so SW2 is low level, after inserting SIM, SW2 and SW1 are shorted, USIM_CD is
pulled up.
“+MSMPD” AT command defines the SIM card status detection feature.
When set AT+MSMPD=0, the SIM detected feature deactivated. Module does not detect USIM_CD
signal.
When set AT+MSMPD=1, the SIM detected feature activated. USIM_CD pin can test whether SIM card is
onsite or not.
SIM_CD is High level, SIM card is onsite, and module registers the network automatically.
SIM_CD is Low level or not connected, SIM card is offsite and module drops out the network.
Note: The +MSMPD default value is “1”. USIM_CD is only used for SIM card hot plug detecting,
Module won’t detect SIM_CD at the first starting (it means the module will read SIM card data and register
network at the first time starting, no matter pin SIM_CD is high level or low level).

As H350 does not have a RF connector, so for RF line, microstrip line is recommended. The shorter the
better, insert loss is less than 0.2dB; impedance is less than 50ohm.
It is to mount H350 module and antenna connector to the same side of layout.
Add a π-type circuit (two parallel device ground pin directly to the main land) for antenna matching.

7.3 Antenna Design
7.3.1 Main Antenna Design Requirements
(1) Antenna Efficiency
Antenna efficiency is the ratio between antenna input power and radiation power. The radiation power of
an antenna is always lower than the input power due to the following factors: return loss, material loss,
and coupling loss.
Efficiency of the master antenna > 40% (–4dB)
(2) S11 or VSWR
S11 (return loss) indicates the degree to which the input impedance of an antenna matches the reference
impedance (50 ohm). S11 shows the resonance feature and impedance bandwidth of an antenna. Voltage
standing wave ratio (VSWR) is another expression of S11. S11 relates to the antenna efficiency. S11 can
be measured by vector analyzer.
S11 of the master antenna < –10 dB
(3) Polarization
The polarization of an antenna is the orientation of the electric field vector that rotates with time in the
direction of maximum radiation.
Linear polarization is recommended: it would be better if the polarization direction of diversity antenna is
different from main antenna.
(4) Radiation Pattern
Radiation pattern refers to the directional dependence of the strength of the radio waves from the antenna
or other source.
The radiation pattern of half wave dipole antennas is the best for wireless terminals. If it is built-in antenna,
PIFA antenna is recommended:
Antenna area (H x W x L): 6mm x 10mm x 100mm. PIFA or IFA antenna is recommended.
Radiation Pattern: Omni-directional
(5) Gain and Directivity
The directivity of the antenna is the electromagnetic field strength of the electromagnetic wave in each
direction. An antenna's power gain is a key performance figure which combines the antenna’s directivity
and electrical efficiency.
Antenna gain ≤ 2.5dBi
(6) Interference
Besides the antenna performance, the interference on the PCB board also affects the radio performance
(especially the TIS) of the module. To guarantee high performance of the module, the interference
sources on the user board must be properly controlled. On the PCB board, there are various interference
sources that can affect the module, such as the speaker, LCD, CPU, FPC trace and audio circuits, the
power supply should be far away from antenna, notice isolation, shield and filtering processing issues.
