24 Installing Components and Troubleshooting
Make antenna connections using a suitable coaxial cable, and exit the shielding
as recommended. Routing for antenna cables must follow the requirements
described in your compliance approvals. The antennas must be installed as
directed using the mounting points provided.
Installing an Antenna
You can use the internal antenna holders for your own PCB antennas. Figure
11 shows the various antenna holders attached to the ECN inner card cage. The
holders are extremely flexible and allow antennas of various sizes to be mounted
on multiple planes.
Recommendations:
• Use the holders along each side for EV-DO, GPRS and ISM type
applications. In particular one holder can be used on each side for
diversity.
• Use the holders along the top of the card cage for Wi-Fi and Wi-Max
applications.
The holders also have built in clips that can be used for locating cabling and
holding protective ferrite beads.
