SIM8200EA-M2 card Hardware Design _V1.01 38 2019-06-27
Direction RHCP or liner, RHCP is the first choice
VSWR < 2
Passive antenna gain > 0 dBi
Active antenna NF < 1.5
Active antenna gain > 0 dBi
Active antenna Enbeded LNA gain < 17 dB
Note: It is recommended to use a passive GNSS antenna when LTE B13 or B14 is supported, as the use of
active antenna may generate harmonics which will affect the GNSS performance.
4.3.2. Recommended RF Connector for Antenna Installation
When choosing antennas, user should pay attentions to the connector on antenna which should match with the
connector on the module. The standard 2x2 mm size RF receptacle connectors has been used on SIM7300x. The
dimension of the connector on SIM8200EA is 2.0*2.0*0.6mm, which is from Murata, and the Part Number is
MM4829-2702B/ RA4/ RB0.
Shows the RF connector dimension in the following figure:
