2.1 Module placement on a Carrier Board
Below pictures show examples of recommended placements for the Nox
Bluetooth LE Module (NOXBLEMOD) on a carrier board (mother board). As can
be seen, the module should be placed in a corner for best antenna
performance.
Figure 1: Examples of good placement of module on carrier board
The size of the carrier board should be significantly larger than the module
itself as illustrated above, while smaller size may be feasible if the application
does not require optimal antenna performance.
For completeness also a few examples of bad module placements are
illustrated below. As can be understood from below examples is that the
antenna of the module should not be oriented as illustrated in below bad
examples.

2.2 GND plane removal under Antenna
When placing the Nox Bluetooth LE Module (NOXBLEMOD) onto a carrier
board there need to be a GND “cut out area” on the carrier board under the
