ANTENNAS

Chapter 4 – Antennas

Antenna System Cellular Devices

The antenna system is defined as the UFL connection point from the device through the cable and antenna. Device performance depends on implementation and antenna system design. Integrating the antenna system is a critical part of the design process; therefore, it is essential to consider it early so the performance is not compromised.

Requirements for Cellular Antennas with regard to FCC/IC Compliance

The antenna must be the same type, with similar performance and in- and out-of-band radiation patterns as the listed antenna. The antenna used must stay below the FCC/IC maximum gain.
For our bundles, MultiTech may change antennas over time. The listed antenna(s) is used as a reference or was shipping when this document was last updated.

LTE Antenna

The cellular radio portion of the device is approved with the following antenna or for alternate antennas meeting the given specifications. If using a different antenna, ensure
Manufacturer: Wieson Technologies
Description: LTE Antenna
Model Number: GY115-Big Type
MultiTech ordering information:
Model Quantity
ANLTE4-2HRA 2
ANLTE4-10HRA 10
ANLTE4-50HRA 50

LTE Antenna Diversity

Antenna diversity uses two receive antennas to improve the downlink connection (cell tower to mobile). It has no effect on the uplink (mobile to cell tower).
Antenna diversity is useful in environments where the signal arrives at the device after bouncing off or around buildings or other objects. The bounced signal may be attenuated by going through semi-transparent (to the signal) objects. Each signal alteration can change its magnitude, phase, orientation, or polarization. This complex environment can exist in cities, inside buildings or in traffic. In this environment, signal paths from the cell tower form an interference pattern of peaks and nulls. These peaks and nulls can be very close together.
Antenna diversity provides an advantage in complex environments because if one receive antenna has a poor signal due to an interference null pattern, the other antenna is likely not in the null and has better reception. The radio compares the reception from both receive antennas and uses the one with the strongest signal.
Important: You must deploy with two antennas, unless your carrier has authorized you to deploy with one
antenna.
16 SocketModem®Cell MTSMC-LSP3 Device Guide
Page 17
ANTENNAS

Selecting Antennas

Select an antenna based on your product and application. Typically, both antennas are the same and either can be the main receive antenna.

Placing External Antennas

Antennas are usually a quarter wavelength apart from each other. With multiband radios where the quarter wavelengths in each band are diverse from each other, this rule may not be practical. Choose spacing based on the band used most often or the band with connection difficulty. Some environments are harsher on particular bands. MultiTech products have antenna connectors at the best spacing for the product size.
Placing antennas in close proximity to each other is not optimal, but you can do it if necessary. It depends on the signal strength to and from each antenna.
If the antennas are too close together for your application, use a similar antenna on a short cable for the second receive only antenna.

Placing GPS Antennas

GPS antennas need a clear view of the sky. Position the GPS antenna so the diversity antennas do not block its view of the sky.

Antenna Approvals and Safety Considerations

Note the following:
Carriers conduct antenna diversity tests. There are no EMC concerns about antenna diversity. All antennas need to have a minimum flammability rating. Safety requirements depend on your final product. Unless otherwise noted, antennas certified by MultiTech are not approved for outdoor use. Do not extend
these antennas outside of any building.

Diversity and Power Draw

There are no significant power draw differences.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Chapter 5 – Safety Information

Handling Precautions

To avoid damage due to the accumulation of static charge, use proper precautions when handling any cellular device. Although input protection circuitry has been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of static build-up, use proper precautions to avoid exposure to electronic discharge during handling and mounting the device.

Radio Frequency (RF) Safety

Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.
Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow restrictions for any environment where you operate the device.
Do not place the antenna outdoors. Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may
endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle with fuel.
Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.

Sécurité relative aux appareils à radiofréquence (RF)

À cause du risque d'interférences de radiofréquence (RF), il est important de respecter toutes les réglementations spéciales relatives aux équipements radio. Suivez les conseils de sécurité ci-dessous.
Utiliser l'appareil à proximité d'autres équipements électroniques peut causer des interférences si les équipements ne sont pas bien protégés. Respectez tous les panneaux d'avertissement et les recommandations du fabricant.
Certains secteurs industriels et certaines entreprises limitent l'utilisation des appareils cellulaires. Respectez ces restrictions relatives aux équipements radio dans les dépôts de carburant, dans les usines de produits chimiques, ou dans les zones où des dynamitages sont en cours. Suivez les restrictions relatives à chaque type d'environnement où vous utiliserez l'appareil.
Ne placez pas l'antenne en extérieur. Éteignez votre appareil sans fil dans les avions. L'utilisation d'appareils électroniques portables en avion est
illégale: elle peut fortement perturber le fonctionnement de l'appareil et désactiver le réseau cellulaire. S'il ne respecte pas cette consigne, le responsable peut voir son accès aux services cellulaires suspendu ou interdit, peut être poursuivi en justice, ou les deux.
Éteignez votre appareil sans fil à proximité des pompes à essence ou de diesel avant de remplir le réservoir de votre véhicule de carburant.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Éteignez votre appareil sans fil dans les hôpitaux ou dans toutes les zones où des appareils médicaux sont susceptibles d'être utilisés.

Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices

Potential interference

Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.

Precautions for pacemaker wearers

If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm. Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly. Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers. However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause a problem.
Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the pacemaker and the device.
Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt or jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).

Vehicle Safety

When using your device in a vehicle:
Do not use this device while driving. Respect national regulations on the use of cellular devices in vehicles. If incorrectly installed in a vehicle, operating the wireless device could interfere with the vehicle’s
electronics. To avoid such problems, use qualified personnel to install the device. The installer should verify the vehicle electronics are protected from interference.
Using an alert device to operate a vehicle’s lights or horn is not permitted on public roads. UL evaluated this device for use in ordinary locations only. UL did NOT evaluate this device for installation in
a vehicle or other outdoor locations. UL Certification does not apply or extend to use in vehicles or outdoor applications.

Device Maintenance

Do not attempt to disassemble the device. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
