The sensitivity is measured to be-152dBmWhen the GPS function enable, total current consumption will increase about 138 mA.GPS and Receiver diversity FunctionThe receiver diversity and GPS functionality can not be used simultaneously. So, using GPSactive the module will be disable the receiver diversity functionality. When GPS reception isfinished, module will be automatic change to receiver diversity mode. For this reason, thesecondary antenna must be designed to support the both GPS and UMTS band frequencyNote:No support active antenna for GPS functionality

4. SOFTWARE CHARACTERISTICS4.1 IntroductionH20 uses the cutting edge technique of Qualcomm 3.75G wireless communication. It is awireless data card product embedded in any host device which has mini-PCI Expressinterface. The software platform is Qualcomm MSM7225. It uses USB interfaces tocommunicate with PC/NB. The USB interfaces are composed of three parts “NDIS interface”,“AT command Serial COM port” and “Qualcomm Diag COM port”. “Network app” use NDISinterface to transmit Internet data between H20 device and Host device. PC tool (“SMS,phone book and setting app”) can send the standard AT commands to drive H20 device by“AT command Serial COM port”. “Qualcomm Diag COM port” interface is used forQualcomm and Qisda Factory tools. We can use this interface to get all device debugmessages and update the firmware of your H20 device.4.2 Software ArchitectureThe H20 product high-level software architecture is represented in the following figure:(High Level SoftwareArchitecture)

4.2.1. The first layer is application layer.(Application layer)This layer contains network, SMS, phone book, device setting, Qualcomm and Qisda factorytools. Qisda PC tool provides “network App, SMS App, phone book App and setting App”. Usercan use this tool to surf the Internet and manage SMS messages, contact list, device settings.“Qualcomm and Factory Tools” can support technician to get all debug message from H20device.4.2.2. The second layer is USB COM interface layer.(USB COM interface layer)H20 can support three different USB COM interfaces:• NDIS Interface – This interface is in charge of Internet data transmission between H20and Host device.• AT command serial COM port- This a standard modem serial port. It can send/receivethe standard AT commands.• Qualcomm Diag COM port- This is Qualcomm proprietary interface, allDebug/Download tools of Qualcomm and Qisda use this interface to transmit data.4.2.3. The third layer is USB driver layer.(USB driver layer)This layer contains PC USB driver and H20 firmware USB driver. PC transmits data to H20 firmwarevia this layer.4.2.4. The fourth layer is RNDIS and SIO layer.(RNDIS and SIO layer)This layer works inside H20 firmware. RNDIS can process the NDIS data and command which USB

driver and QMI RmNet task transmit. SIO can process the AT and diag command which USBdriver and Data service transmit.4.2.5. The fifth layer is task layer.(Task layer)This layer works inside H20 firmware. QMI RmNet Task is in charge of NDIS command for networkconnection function. Data Service is in charge of processing all AT commands, including SIM,Diag, Phone book and SMS task.4.3 HSPA Modem ApplicationHSPA Modem Application is PC tool for end user to use. This tool contains four main functions-network, SMS, phone book and setting application.

4.3.1. Network App uses NDIS interface to surf the Internet.4.3.2. Phone Book App is in charge of the contact list, includes New, Edit, Export, Importoperations on your SIM card.

4.3.3. SMS App is in charge of SMS message receiving, sending, forward, reply, move, copy,delete, new and backup operations.4.3.4. Setting App includes some device settings about operator network setting and PINcode setting.
