assumed.

The Universal Development Kit
A hardware development platform is available from Sierra Wireless
for evaluating and developing with the EM7700. The Universal
Development Kit (UDK) (for AirPrime MC-series modules) and a
separate adapter board and RF cable may be ordered to use the
UDK with the EM7700.
The UDK contains hardware components for evaluating and
developing with the module, including:
• Development board
• Cables
• Antennas (Band 17 is not supported by supplied antennas)
• Documentation suite
• Other accessories
For instructions on setting up the UDK, see PCI Express Mini Card
Dev Kit Quick Start Guide (Document 2130705).
For over-the-air LTE testing, ensure that suitable antennas are used.
(Two antennas are required for this testing; Sierra Wireless offers an
LTE-capable antenna covering 700–2600 MHz BW—please order
part number 6000492 (Qty 1—this contains two antennas).)

2: Power Interface 2
Overview of operation
AirPrime embedded modules are designed to use a 3.7V (nominal)
power supply provided by the host. It is the host’s responsibility to
provide safe and continuous power to the module at all times; the
module does NOT have an independent power supply, or protection
circuits to guard against electrical issues.
The module’s power state is controlled by the host’s assertion/
deassertion of POWER_ON and RESET_N. The module also
monitors its supply voltage and requests shutdown if the supply is
insufficient.

Power signals
The module must be connected to a 3.7V power supply.
For detailed pinout and voltage/current requirements of this module,
see the AirPrime EM7700 Product Technical Specification Document
& Customer Design Guidelines.

RF connection
When attaching antennas to the module:
• Use I-PEX connectors (model I-PEX MHF-A13) to attach
antennas to the module’s connection points.
• Match coaxial connections between the module and the antenna
to 50 .
• Minimize RF cable losses to the antenna; the recommended
maximum cable loss for antenna cabling is 0.5 dB.
• To ensure best thermal performance, if possible use the
mounting holes to attach (ground) the device to a metal chassis.

Rev 2 Apr.12 Proprietary and Confidential 11

AirPrime EM7700 Hardware Integration Guide

Note: If the antenna connection is shorted or open, the modem will not sustain permanent
damage.

Ground connection
When connecting the module to system ground:
• Prevent noise leakage by establishing a very good ground connection to the
module through the host connector.
• Connect to system ground using the three mounting holes at the top and
bottom of the module.
• Minimize ground noise leakage into the RF.
Depending on the host board design, noise could potentially be coupled to
the module from the host board. This is mainly an issue for host designs that
have signals traveling along the length of the module, or circuitry operating at
both ends of the module interconnects.

Shielding
The module is fully shielded to protect against EMI and must not be removed.

Antenna and cabling
When selecting the antenna and cable, it is critical to RF performance to match
antenna gain and cable loss.

Choosing the correct antenna and cabling
When matching antennas and cabling:
• The antenna (and associated circuitry) should have a nominal impedance of
50  with a return loss of better than 10 dB across each frequency band of
operation.
• The system gain value affects both radiated power and regulatory (FCC, IC,
CE, etc.) test results.

Designing custom antennas
Consider the following points when designing custom antennas:
• A skilled RF engineer should do the development to ensure that the RF
performance is maintained.
• If both UMTS and CDMA modules will be installed in the same platform, you
may want to develop separate antennas for maximum performance.

12 Proprietary and Confidential 4112206

RF Integration

Determining the antenna’s location
When deciding where to put the antennas:
• Antenna location may affect RF performance. Although the module is
shielded to prevent interference in most applications, the placement of the
antenna is still very important—if the host device is insufficiently shielded,
high levels of broadband or spurious noise can degrade the module’s perfor-
mance.
• Connecting cables between the module and the antenna must have 50 
impedance. If the impedance of the module is mismatched, RF performance
is reduced significantly.
• Antenna cables should be routed, if possible, away from noise sources
(switching power supplies, LCD assemblies, etc.). If the cables are near the
noise sources, the noise may be coupled into the RF cable and into the
antenna.

Disabling the diversity antenna
• Use the AT command !RXDEN=0 to disable receive diversity or !RXDEN=1 to
enable receive diversity.

Note: A diversity antenna is used to improve connection quality and reliability through
redundancy. Because two antennas may experience difference interference effects (signal
distortion, delay, etc.), when one antenna receives a degraded signal, the other may not be
similarly affected.

Interference and sensitivity
Several sources of interference can affect the RF performance of the module
(RF desense). Common sources include power supply noise and device-
generated RF.
RF desense can be addressed through a combination of mitigation techniques
(Methods to mitigate decreased Rx performance on page 13) and radiated
sensitivity measurement (Radiated sensitivity measurement on page 14).

Note: The EM7700 is based on ZIF (Zero Intermediate Frequency) technologies. When
performing EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) tests, there are no IF (Intermediate
Frequency) components from the module to consider.

Methods to mitigate decreased Rx performance
It is important to investigate sources of localized interference early in the design
cycle. To reduce the effect of device-generated RF on Rx performance:
• Put the antenna as far as possible from sources of interference. The
drawback is that the module may be less convenient to use.
• Shield the host device. The module itself is well shielded to avoid external
interference. However, the antenna cannot be shielded for obvious reasons.

Rev 2 Apr.12 Proprietary and Confidential 13

RF Integration

• The Tx power and corresponding broadband noise of other wireless devices
may overload or increase the noise floor of the module’s receiver, resulting in
Rx desense.
The severity of this interference depends on the closeness of the other antennas
to the module’s antenna. To determine suitable locations for each wireless
device’s antenna, thoroughly evaluate your host device’s design.

Host-generated RF interference
All electronic computing devices generate RF interference that can negatively
affect the receive sensitivity of the module.
Proximity of host electronics to the antenna in wireless devices can contribute to
decreased Rx performance. Components that are most likely to cause this
include:
• Microprocessor and memory
• Display panel and display drivers
• Switching-mode power supplies

Device-generated RF interference
The module can cause interference with other devices. Wireless devices such as
AirPrime embedded modules transmit in bursts (pulse transients) for set durations
(RF burst frequencies). Hearing aids and speakers convert these burst
frequencies into audible frequencies, resulting in audible noise.

Important notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and
reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed,
corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant
delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the
Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a well-
constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used
in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in
damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not
limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless
and its affiliates accept no responsibility for damages of any kind
resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using
the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless
modem to transmit or receive such data.

Safety and hazards
Do not operate your EM7700 modem:
• In areas where blasting is in progress
• Where explosive atmospheres may be present including
refuelling points, fuel depots, and chemical plants
• Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any
equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio inter-
ference. In such areas, the EM7700 modem MUST BE
POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the EM7700 modem can transmit
signals that could interfere with this equipment.

Rev 2 Apr.12 Proprietary and Confidential 17

AirPrime EM7700 Hardware Integration Guide

In an aircraft, the EM7700 modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the
EM7700 modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard
systems and may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft or disrupt the
cellular network. Use of a cellular phone in an aircraft is illegal in some
jurisdictions. Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension or denial
of cellular telephone services to the offender, or legal action or both.
Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the
ground and the door is open. The EM7700 modem may be used normally at this
time.
