7 Hardware Requirements
7.1 Antenna Requirements
For the main antenna the exact model(s) are part of the compliance testing and are required to
be used to avoid EMC non-conformance. In some cases if customers use a different antenna
and it is the same radiation type (monopole, sector, etc.) and is of equal or lower gain, non-
conformance is avoided. The exact requirements are specific to each market. Customers are
encouraged to contact Ingenu application engineering or their local regulatory agency for
details. All main antennas are required to have a return loss in-band of > 15 dB (≤ 1.4:1 VSWR),
per Table 12, for VSWR.
The GPS antenna can be any of the commonly available amplified types on the market. The
optimum gain range is approximately 20 dBic to 50 dBic.

NOTE: Depending on the application, Ingenu recommends two options for the main antenna
in the FCC market. The HG-2409U-PRO has 1 dB more gain and slightly more rugged
construction. The HGV-2409U has better return loss and can be mounted upside down.
