1.2 Carrier aggregation combination
1.2.1. Refer to Qualcomm documents 80-P8641-123 Rev. A, Published: 2017/7/31.
Remark: T77W980 hardware design can support follow CA combination, but the Final CA
combinations plan depends on carrier engagement and Qualcomm software design.
1.2.2. Qualcomm SDX20 support 5CA+256QAM (up to Cat18) and Rel13 (FDD+TDD CA)
which is mandatory for AU/JP/China carriers.
Update the Carrier CA combination, please refer the document:

1.3 System Block Diagram
1. GRC is the RF only module, it doesn’t include the CPU & memory. So GRC doesn’t have the SW
image.
2. Each GRC will have its unique QCN data, it will use the GRC SN to name it, and provide these
data to one ftp server. OEM can scan the SN to get the QCN data then load it to the platform memory.
1. Just one antenna to support Tx;
2.Support 2 or 4 antennas simultaneously (2 ANTs up to Cat16: 2X2 MIMO+5CA, 4 ANTs up to
Cat18: 4X4 MIMO+3CA and 2X2 MIMO+5CA)
1.Single main antenna design with Pentaplexer;
2.All the PAMiD with PA+SW+Filter+LNA+ASM.
