Connecting the Antenna 
The Boomer II OEM Modem Module provides an MMCX RF 
connector located at the top of the unit, to attach to the antenna cable.  
The antenna does not plug directly into the modem but uses an antenna 
cable to interface between the device and the modem. 
The antenna cable should be a low loss, 50
Ω impedance and have a 
MMCX plug that can mate with the modem’s MMCX socket. It is 
recommended that a Huber+Suhner connector be used to connect to the 
modem as below: 
 
11 MMCX series 
Straight Connector 
 
16 MMCX series 
Right Angle Connector 
If an extension cable is required to the antenna, it should be low loss, as 
short as possible and an impedance of 50 ohms. Proper matching 
connectors should be used, as each connector introduces a return loss 
and reduces performance. 
Positioning the Antenna 
Positioning the antenna will affect the gain provided by the antenna. 
The antenna should be orientated so that it provides vertical 
polarisation as the DataTAC network is based on vertically polarised 
radio-frequency transmission. 
The antenna should be located as far from the active electronics of the 
computing device as possible. Typically, a metal case of a computing 
device and its internal components may attenuate the signal in certain 
directions. This is undesirable as the sensitivity and transmit 
performance of the Boomer II would be reduced. However, careful use 
of metal used for the ground plane for an antenna can improve the 
antenna gain and the coverage area for the system. 
If your device is designed to sit on a surface, the antenna should be 
positioned as far from the bottom of the device as possible. This is to 
reduce the radio frequency reflections if the device is placed on a metal 
surface. 
If your device is hand held or is worn next to the body, the antenna 
should be positioned to radiate away from the body. 
The integrator should refer to the statement of Compliance on page 9 of 
this manual and Regulatory Requirements section on pages 21-26 for 
country requirements.
