CDMA Antenna
The integrated modem antenna connector is a MMCX connector. The MMCX connector incorporates a
'Snap On' latching action in order to make the connection easier with an excellent RF performance. An
additional advantage is its small physical size, which is 50% of the standard MCX connector.
This type of connector is suitable for the standard ranges of flexible and semi-rigid cables. The
characteristic impedance of the MMCX coaxial connector is 50 ohm. The antenna manufacturer must
guarantee that the antenna will be working according to the radio characteristics presented in the table
below.
