5.2 Layout guide
For optimal performance of the antenna place the module at the position of the PCB as shown in the
following figures. Do not place any metal (traces, components, battery etc.) within the clearance area of
the antenna. Connect all the GND pins directly to a solid GND plane. Place the GND vias as close to the GND
pins as possible. Use good layout practices to avoid any excessive noise coupling to signal lines or supply
voltage lines.
Place nothing around the antenna for the high antenna performance as shown in Figure 3. If can’t
layout as aforesaid, avoid placing GND plane closer than 5 mm as shown in Figure 4 and any other dielectric
material closer than 1 mm from the antenna as shown in Figure 5. Anything closer than this distance from
the antenna will detune the antenna to lower frequencies and reduce the RF power.
