RF antenna matching
The screwed and glue-fixed antennas to connect on the SMA connector and provided in the blister are:
• ANT-SS900 from LPRS company for NUCLEO-WL55JC1 (high band frequency)
• ANT-SS450-510 from LPRS company for NUCLEO-WL55JC2 (low band frequency)
Those antennas have been used for the different FCC/ISED/CE certifications. It is then mandatory to use those
referenced antennas (and only those) for radiated tests on the STM32WL Nucleo-64 boards.
The antenna is stuck to the SMA connector because of FCC constraints. Indeed, it is mentioned for the
FCC regulations, that as soon as a product is considered general public, the FCC implies that the antenna
must be stuck to the board connector with epoxy glue. Refer to the FCC documentation BASIC EQUIPMENT
AUTHORIZATION GUIDANCE FOR ANTENNAS USED WITH PART 15 INTENTIONAL RADIATORS in the
chapter ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS—Section 15.203. The purpose of Section 15.203 is to prevent attaching
any other antenna(s) [other than one(s) approved with the device] to a Part 15 transmitter.
6.6.4 Current consumption measurement (I_SoC)
Jumper JP1, labeled I_SoC, is used to measure the STM32WL microcontroller consumption by removing the
jumper and by connecting an ammeter. Their location in the power structure is shown in Figure 19.
1. JP1 ON. STM32WL is powered with 3V3 voltage (default)
2. JP4 OFF. An ammeter must be connected to measure the STM32WL current. If there is no ammeter, the
STM32 is not powered.
