6 RF design notes

6.1 Recommended RF layout and ground plane

Since the BMD-341 relies on an external antenna, there are no ground plane requirements or keep-out

area for the module itself. Refer to the external antenna datasheet for antenna placement and

grounding recommendations.

6.2 Mechanical enclosure

For the BMD-341, refer to the external antenna datasheet for placement in or on a mechanical

enclosure.
