Host PCB Land Pattern and Antenna Keep-out for BL652-SA
Figure 11: Land pattern and Keep-out for BL652-SA
All dimensions are in mm.
Host PCB Land Pattern and Antenna Keep-out for BL652-SANotes:
Note 1
Ensure there is no copper in the antenna ‘keep out area’ on any layers of the host PCB. Also keep all
mounting hardware or any metal clear of the area (Refer to 6.3.2) to reduce effects of proximity
detuning the antenna and to help antenna radiate properly.
Note 2
For the best on-board antenna performance, the module BL652-SA MUST be placed on the edge of
the host PCB and preferably in the corner with the antenna facing the corner. Above “Keep Out
Area” is the module placed in corner of PCB. If BL652-SA is not placed in corner but on edge of host
PCB, the antenna “Keep Out Area” is extended (see Note 4).
Note 3
BL652 development board has BL652-SA placed on the edge of the PCB board (and not in corner) for
that the Antenna keep out area is extended down to the corner of the development board, see
section PCB Layout on Host PCB for BL652-SA, Figure 11. This was used for module development and
antenna performance evaluation.
