RN4870/71
4.3 RN4871 Module
Figure 4-7 shows the physical dimensions of the
RN4871 module. Figure 4-8 illustrates the
recommended PCB layout, and Figure 4-9 shows the
recommended mounting details.
Ensure that there is no top copper layer near the test
pin area, indicated by the shaded keep out areas, as
shown in
Figure 4-8. When laying out the host PCB, the
areas under the antenna must not contain any top,
inner layer, or bottom copper as shown in
Figure 4-9. A
low-impedance ground plane ensures the best radio
performance (best range, lowest noise).
Figure 4-9
also shows a space area around the antenna section
for best antenna performance. The ground plane can
be extended beyond the minimum recommended as
required for host PCB EMC noise reduction. For best
range performance, keep all external metal at least
30 mm away from the ceramic chip antenna.
