1.1 Product Technical Information

The EUT is a WisDuo LPWAN+BLE Module which supports Lora and Bluetooth Low Energy technologies. This module has two different antennas for Lora and one antenna for BLE, the details specifications for these antennas as below:

For Lora:

Antenna # Model

Antenna Gain Antenna Type Connector Type

1#

RAKARJ14

2.3 dBi

Dipole Antenna

RP-SMA connector

2#

RAKARJ16

2.3 dBi

Dipole Antenna

RP-SMA connector

Note:

1. When connecting to the module, all antennas listed above need to transfer to an IPEX connector.

2. Antennas 1# and 2# have the same type and similar in-band and out-of-band characteristics and

only the color of enclosure differnet, they are considered as equivalent antennas. Thus, the antenna 1#

was selected to be tested.

For BLE: Antenna # 1#
