Antenna Precautions

A. Do not install it in a metal housing as it will shield radio frequency signals.
B. PCB layout: The antenna part of the module is PCB antenna, and the metal material will weaken the function of the antenna. When the module is laid out, it is forbidden to lay the floor and route the cable under the module antenna. It is recommended that the PCB area of the hollow bottom plate be larger than the antenna area and be expanded more than 5mm. It is recommended that the module be placed on the edge or corner of the PCB (not in the middle of the bottom plate), and the antenna area protruding out of the PCB of the customer bottom plate.
C. Layout wiring layout: It is recommended to use star wiring for power supply lines, and ensure good linearity of power supply of the module. The ground must be separated from the ground of power amplifier and MCU, and there should be no other interference ground at the lower side of the module, and no interference wires such as control wires, power cables, audio wires and MIC wires around the antenna.
D .If there is a connector row near the module antenna or a metal shell, which may affect the signal,you are advised to use the connector version for external antennas.
If there are batteries, metal objects, LCD panels, speakers, etc., on the side of the module antenna, it should be at least 15mm away from the antenna (as shown in the figure).

Storage conditions of factory modules:

Precautions for using modules are as follows:

  1. When the customer opens the steel mesh, it is suggested to enlarge the hole of the module pad. Please open the steel mesh at the ratio of 1:1 and then expand 0.2mm outward. The thickness is 0.12mm (according to the process adjustment of each factory).
  2. Do not carry modules with bare hands. Wear gloves and static rings.
  3. The furnace temperature depends on the size of the customer’s motherboard.Generally, the standard temperature on a tablet computer is 250+-5°.

Precautions for module storage and use control are as follows:
The humidity sensitivity level of the module is MSL3, pay attention to the requirements of preservation after unpacking and re-baking over time.

1-1. Storage life: 12 months, storage environment: temperature: <40℃, relative humidity: <90%R.H.
1-2. SMT assembly time after module packaging is removed:
1-3. Check the humidity card: the display value should be less than 30% (blue), for example:
30% to 40%(pink) or greater than 40%(red) indicates that the module has absobed moisture.
1-3-1 Factory ambient temperature and humidity control: ≦30%℃, ≦60%R.H.

Packing items of module reels are as follows: 2-1. Storage life: 12 months, storage environment: temperature: <40℃, relative humidity: <90%R.H. 2-2. 168 hours after the module is unpacked, if the patch is to be put on line, it needs to be baked again to remove the moisture absorption problem of the module. The baking temperature is 125℃ for 8 hours. 2-3. Module coil packaging is subject to the actual packaging quantity required by the customer. Coil packaging picture <2>

Module tray packing items are as follows:
3-1. Storage life: 3 months, storage environment: temperature: <40℃, relative humidity: <90%R.H.
