EUTRA Band 41 Lower Half (1880-1920 MHz) The PcTel MX can be configured in up to five different ways with MISO only, MIMO only, or a
combination of both. Multiple-band antenna ports are used for MISO only and are arranged in rows of two ports. Single-band ports may be used for either MIMO or MISO and are arranged in rows of four ports. In all cases, each band is assigned to a particular antenna port. The antenna connectors on the SeeGull MX are male SMB A (screw-on) type. For MISO radio systems, antenna ports RF1 and RF3 are high band ports supporting up to four bands each in frequency ranges from 1500 MHz to 2600 MHz.
Antenna ports RF2 and RF4 are low band ports supporting up to four bands each in frequency ranges from 700 MHz to 1000 MHz.

Figure 2. Antenna ports.
Page 53
The label on the SeeGull MX lists the frequencies of the radio modules connected to each specific port, labeled RF1 to RF8. The antenna ports that require antenna connections are identified by their
“frequency” on the label. Since each SeeGull MX is configured to minimize the number of ports necessary for use, some ports may be inactive for a particular configuration and are indicated by a blank box.

Example 1 4.6.1
The SeeGull MX as shown in the figure below is configured for the following bands: 2100 AWS, 1900, 850, and 700 MHz bands on a standard MISO radio system. Either an OP216 (1700 to 2600 MHz) antenna or an OP078H (698 to 2300 MHz) antenna can be connected the RF1 port. The OP078H is recommended in this case to keep all the antenna types. Another OP078H antenna must be connected to port RF4 (700 to 1000 MHz) to service the 700 and 850 MHz bands. Antenna ports RF2 and RF3 are not used in this example and do not require antenna connections.

Example 2 4.6.2
The SeeGull MX as shown in the figure below is configured for the following bands: 2600, 2100, 1800, and 900 MHz bands on a standard MISO radio system. An OP216 (1700 to 2600 MHz) antenna must be connected to the RF1 port to handle the 2600 band. Either an OP216 (1700 to 2600 MHz) antenna or an OP078H (698 to 2300 MHz) antenna can be connected to the RF3 port. The OP216 is
recommended for out of USA applications to keep all the antenna types the same since higher bands are more prevalent in Europe and Asia. The OP078H antenna must be connected to port RF4 (700 to 1000 MHz) to service the 900 MHz band. Antenna port RF2 is not used in this example and does not require an antenna connection.

Example 3 4.6.3
The SeeGull MX as shown in the figure below is configured for the following bands: 2100 AWS, 1900, 850 MIMO, and 700 MHz bands on MIMO and MISO radio systems. Similar to Example 1, either an OP216 (1700 to 2600 MHz) antenna or an OP078H (698 to 2300 MHz) antenna can be connected to the RF1 port. The OP078H is recommended for bands used in USA for the purpose of having the same antenna type. Since antenna ports RF3–RF6 are MIMO antenna ports, each port requires its own antenna. Since the bands on RF3-RF6 are 850 and 700 MHz, the antenna type required is the OP078H for each port. Note that MISO bands (700 A/B/C in this case) are allowed on the MIMO radio system provided an antenna is supplied for each RF port. Antenna port RF2 is not used in this example and does not require an antenna connection.
