SMA soldering changes
|
| Change impact
|
| Risk assessment
|
Due to THT assembly process, some devices might have an excess amount of soldering on the SMA connector.
This does not affect GSM/GNSS antenna characteristics and does not interfere with device case assembly, therefore, device functionality remains unchanged.

Bandwidth - 10 MHz
VSWR on bandwidth - <1.5
GAIN - 3 dB
LNA minimum gain - 26 dB
LNA maximum gain - 30 dB
Consumption - 11 mA
