3.3 Antenna
BGM220S modules include an integral antenna on board with the characteristics detailed in the tables below.
Table 3.1. Antenna Efficiency and Peak Gain (BGM220S12A)
Parameter With optimal layout Note
Efficiency -1.4 to -2.6 dB Antenna efficiency, gain and radiation pattern are highly depend-
ent on the application PCB layout and mechanical design. Refer
to 7. Design Guidelines for recommendations to achieve optimal
antenna performance.
Peak gain 1.5 dBi
Table 3.2. Antenna Efficiency and Peak Gain (BGM220S22A)
Parameter With optimal layout Note
Efficiency -1 to -2 dB Antenna efficiency, gain and radiation pattern are highly depend-
ent on the application PCB layout and mechanical design. Refer
to 7. Design Guidelines for recommendations to achieve optimal
antenna performance.
Peak gain 2.3 dBi
3.4 Power Supply
The BGM220S requires a single nominal supply level of 3.0 V to operate. All necessary decoupling and filtering components are inclu-
ded in the module, and the supply is fully regulated internally.
