GSM/GPRS Module Series
M85 Hardware Design
M85_Hardware_Design Confidential / Released 65 / 88
M85 provides an RF antenna pad for antenna connection. The RF trace in host PCB connected to the
module RF antenna pad should be coplanar waveguide line or microstrip line, whose characteristic
impedance should be close to 50Ω. M85 comes with grounding pads which are next to the antenna pad in
order to give a better grounding. Besides, a π type match circuit is suggested to be used to adjust the RF
performance.
4.2. RF Output Power
Table 25: The Module Conducted RF Output Power
In GPRS 4 slots TX mode, the max output power is reduced by 2.5dB. This design conforms to the GSM
specification as described in Section 13.16 of 3GPP TS 51.010-1.
