HUAWEI ME909 Series Mini PCIe Module Hardware Guide RF Specifications 4.5 Antenna Design Requirements 4.5.1 Antenna Design Indicators Antenna Efficiency Antenna efficiency is the ratio of the input power to the radiated or received power of an antenna. The radiated power of an antenna is always lower than the input power due to the following antenna losses: return loss, material loss, and coupling loss. The efficiency of an antenna relates to its electrical dimensions.
HUAWEI ME909 Series Mini PCIe Module Hardware Guide Distance between antennas Antenna type Antenna direction RF Specifications The primary antenna must be placed as near as possible to the ME909 module to minimize the cable length. The diversity antenna needs to be installed perpendicularly to the primary antenna. The diversity antenna can be placed farther away from the ME909 module. Antenna isolation can be measured with a two-port vector network analyzer.
HUAWEI ME909 Series Mini PCIe Module Hardware Guide RF Specifications Antenna direction The antenna correlation coefficient differs from the antenna isolation. Sufficient antenna isolation does not represent a satisfactory correlation coefficient. For this reason, the two indicators need to be evaluated separately. For the antennas on laptops, the recommended envelope correlation coefficient between the primary antenna and the diversity antenna is smaller than 0.5.
