3. RF Specification

This section presents the WWAN RF interface of the AirPrime AR7552 series of embedded modules.

The specifications for the LTE, CDMA and WCDMA interfaces are defined.

3.1. LTE RF Interface

This section presents the LTE RF Specification for the AirPrime AR7552.

3.1.1. LTE Max TX Output Power

The Maximum Transmitter Output Power of the AirPrime AR7552 embedded modules are specified in

the following table.

Note 1: The test configurations for all of the entries in the table above are per 3GPP specification, Connectorized (Class

3).

Note 2: Per 3GPP TS 36.521-1 6.2.2 UE Maximum Output Power ( No MPR);and for B13,Per VzW's

Supplementary_RF_Conformance. 2.1 Maximum Output Power – No MPR Or A-MPR

Note 3: Class A is defined in 3.3 Environmental

Note 4: For transmission bandwidths (Figure 5.4.2-1) confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4

MHz and FUL_high, the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower tolerance limit by 1.5 dB.

3.1.2. LTE RX Sensitivity

The Minimum Receiver Sensitivity of the AirPrime AR7552 embedded modules are specified in the

following table.

Note: For the table below:

Dual receiver (SIMO) per 3GPP TS 36.521-1 Rx Sensitivity Specification.

Sensitivity values scale with bandwidth:

x_MHz_Sensitivity = 10 MHz_Sensitivity - 10*log(10 MHz/x_MHz)

10 MHz BW,and 50 RB DownLink and Up Link as 3GPP TS 36.521-1 Table 7.3.5-2.

All values are preliminary pending transceiver matching and testing.
