4.2 GSM /UMTS/LTE Antenna Design Guide
Users should connect antennas to SIM7600SA-H’s antenna pads through micro-strip line or other
types of RF trace and the trace impedance must be controlled in 50Ω. SIMCom recommends that
the total insertion loss between the antenna pads and antennas should meet the following
requirements:
Table 27: Trace loss
Frequency
Loss
700MHz-960MHz
<0.5dB
1710MHz-2170MHz
<0.9dB
2300MHz-2650MHz
<1.2dB
To facilitate the antenna tuning and certification test, a RF connector and an antenna matching
circuit should be added. The following figure is the recommended circuit.

Figure 30: Antenna matching circuit (MAIN_ANT)
In above figure, the components R1, C1, C2 and R2 are used for antenna matching, the values of
components can only be achieved after the antenna tuning and usually provided by antenna vendor.
By default, the R1, R2 are 0Ω resistors, and the C1, C2 are reserved for tuning. The component
D1 is a TVS for ESD protection, and it is optional for users according to application environment.
The RF test connector is used for the conducted RF performance test, and should be placed as close
as to the module’s MAIN_ANT pin. The traces impedance between SIM7600SA-H and antenna
must be controlled in 50Ω .
