HL7692 Diversity Antenna?

Is the MIMO really required of LTE CAT 1 device or not? It’s definitely part of the LTE spec, but some sources say it’s allowable to use a single antenna for CAT 1 devices.

Datasheet says RF_DIV is “mandatory connection”, but there’s AT+WMANTSEL command that can be used to disable the diversity antenna (or main antenna). Could I get away with just a 47R pull-down termination on the RF_DIV in case the UFL connector is omitted?

Could I use capacitor + 47R instead so we’re not burning daylight?

@OlliM,

The unit will operate fine without issue with a single antenna, you will just limit your performance.

Any problems with KNP, who have their own part number (HL7690)?
