Antenna and Range Considerations
The Z100BC module is delivered with an integrated antenna. This is highly
recommended for most applications, as this gives a very compact solution
containing all the critical RF parts within the module.
The radiation pattern from the antenna is similar to the donut-shaped obtained
from a quarter wave antenna. That is, the maximum radiation is in the plane
perpendicular to the length axis of the antenna. For best achievable radiation
the module should be oriented so that the antenna is vertical.
The antenna should be kept more than 10 millimeters away from metallic or
other conductive and dielectric materials. Any metallic enclosures would shield
the antenna and reduce the communication range drastically. In applications
where the module must be placed in a metallic enclosure, an external antenna
would give best signal strength. The external antenna is attachable from the
i-PEX connector of the Z100BI module. The RF input/output is matched to 50
Ohm.
