In this mode, the modem waits for host requests and the air interface is inactive. The sleep mode is entered whenever the radio modem is reset or powered on. The radio modem enters receiving mode when:• the power saving protocol says it is time to monitor the radio link (power saving mode)• the host requests that the radio link be constantly monitored (express mode)• data from the network is expected• the host requests access to the network. When data needs to be transmitted, the radio modem enters transmitting mode. The time spent in this mode is minimized in order to reduce power consumption. $QWHQQDThe host equipment must provide an external antenna.

If a non-standard antenna has to be designed, please consult an antenna specialist. 7KH)XQFWLRQVRIDQ$QWHQQDAn antenna has two functions: • to emit radio waves (transmission)• to pick up radio waves (reception).The antenna does this more or less efficiently, depending on:• the type of antenna• the placement of the antenna • the environment in which the antenna is used. +DOIZDYHDQG4XDUWHUZDYH$QWHQQDVTwo types of antennas are commonly used for mobile radio terminals:• half-wave antennas• quarter-wave antennas.Both are omni-directional antennas, that is, they radiate energy in all directions. However, a half-wave antenna is less sensitive to external influences (movements in its vicinity etc.) than a quarter-wave antenna.

About Antennas 15 M3090 Integrator’s Manual, Doc.no: 19 817-KRD 102 303 Uen, Rev A $QWHQQD*DLQAntenna gain is defined as the ratio between the antenna’s radiant intensity and that of a reference antenna which experiences no loss, but has the same power input. Antenna gain is usually expressed in dBi, the i indicating that the calculated radiation from an isotropic antenna has been used as a reference. The isotropic antenna has the same radiant intensity in all directions, that is, the radiation pattern is spherical.1RWH In data sheets, an antenna’s maximum gain is often expressed in dBd without any reference to direction. The (second) d in dBd indicates that the calculated radiation from a single half-wave dipole antenna is used as a reference.The relationship between dBd and dBi is described in )LJXUH. (QYLURQPHQWDO,QIOXHQFHVThe antenna must have sufficiently effective radiation for the radio terminal to be able to communicate with a radio base station. The maximum range might be up to 15 or 20 kilometres depending on: • what frequency range the Mobitex network uses (the higher the frequency, the shorter the maximum distance);• whether the terminal is situated in a built-up area or in open country.In an urban area, attenuation caused by buildings, walls and other obstacles has to be considered. Too large or too many obstacles around the antenna might mean that the radio terminal cannot establish a contact with the radio base station. In such a case, the antenna is said to be in a radio shadow.)LJXUH 5HODWLRQVKLSEHWZHHQG%LDQGG%G dBd = dBi + 2.15 dBP(d) = P(i) x 1.64

A detached antenna should consist of three parts: the antenna rod, an impedance matching network and a coaxial cable with a connector.A detached antenna may often be more effective than other types, especially when the radio terminal is used in a vehicle.  $QWHQQD5RGA half-wave dipole antenna should preferably be used. It should be low-weight and as short as possible, while still complying with the antenna specifications.Antenna specifications are found in FKDSWHU³7HFKQLFDO'DWD´. $QWHQQD&DEOHA cable with connectors at each end is required to connect a detached antenna to the radio modem. Use a low-loss cable with high-quality connectors to avoid loss of signal power between the antenna and the modem. Both the cable and the connectors must have an impedance equal to that of the antenna connector of the radio modem, that is, 50 . The antenna cable should be flexible to allow easy fitting of the antenna in a vertical position.Poor contact between, or mismatching of, the connectors may cause a partial reflection of the signal from the radio modem. The ratio between the modem’s output power and the power reflected from the antenna is defined as the Voltage to Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and is calculated using the formula shown in )LJXUH.Ω

However, if ambient temperature exceeds +65 C (see &KDSWHU.), cooling will be required, otherwise the modem may over-heat and lose contact with the network.The heat dissipation of an M3090 radio modem varies depending on the volume of data being transmitted. In normal use, when the modem transmits less than 1% of the time, the power consumption is less than 300 mW.  *URXQGLQJThe M3090 radio modem card does not need to be grounded beyond what is provided through the system connector. However, it is recommended that the antenna connector be grounded, by grounding the fixing screws.
