TYPICAL APPLICATION

6.1 Antenna layout requirements

1. For the installation position of the module on the motherboard, the following two methods are recommended:
   Solution 1: Put the module on the edge of the motherboard, and the antenna area extends out of the edge of the motherboard.
   Option 2: Put the module on the edge of the motherboard, and hollow out an area on the edge of the motherboard at the antenna position. In order to meet the performance of the onboard antenna, it is forbidden to prevent metal devices around the antenna and keep away from high-frequency devices.

REFLOW SOLDERING CONDITIONS
