Notes for Integrating PCB Trace Antenna Module (450-0119):

1. To minimize the influence of de-tuning to the module PCB trace antenna, it is

recommended to extend the antenna end of the module off the edge of the host PCB.

2. An alternative to cantilevering the antenna outside the edge of the host PCB is to have a

cutout notched in the host PCB, such that there is no PCB underneath the antenna end

of the module.

3. The ground plane from the host PCB, and metal of any type, should be kept a minimum

of .5” from the antenna circuitry to the left, top, and right of the dashed line shown in

Figure 5.

Notes for Integrating External Antenna Module (450-0144):

1. In order to accommodate a design that can support either antenna version of the

module, the designer should follow the notes for integrating a PCB trace antenna from

above.
