Cinterion® AGS2-E Hardware Interface Overview Page 21 of 40 3.2 Power Supply 27 3.2 Power Supply AGS2-E needs to be connected to a power supply at the SMT application interface - 4 lines BATT+, and GND. There are two separate voltage domains for BATT+: • BATT+ with 2 lines for the general power management. • BATT+_GSM with 2 lines for the GSM power amplifier supply. The power supply of AGS2-E has to be a single voltage source at BATT+ and BATT+_GSM.

Cinterion® AGS2-E Hardware Interface Overview Page 28 of 40 5 Antenna Interfaces 31 5 Antenna Interfaces 5.1 GSM Antenna Interface The RF interface has an impedance of 50. AGS2-E is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna pad without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power. The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression.
Cinterion® AGS2-E Hardware Interface Overview Page 29 of 40 5.1 GSM Antenna Interface 31 5.1.1 Antenna Installation The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pad (ANT_GSM) and their neighboring ground pads directly to the application’s PCB. The distance between the antenna pads and their neighboring GND pads has been optimized for best possible impedance. To prevent mismatch, special attention should be paid to these pads on the application’ PCB.
Cinterion® AGS2-E Hardware Interface Overview Page 30 of 40 5.2 GNSS Antenna Interface 31 5.2 GNSS Antenna Interface In addition to the RF antenna interface AGS2-E also has a GNSS antenna interface. The GNSS antenna installation is the same as for the RF antenna interface (see Section 5.1.1). It is possible to connect active or passive GNSS antennas. In either case they must have 50 impedance. The simultaneous operation of GSM and GNSS has been implemented.
