Mini Module External Antenna Implementation
INTRODUCTION
This Technical Note describes the host board layout
requirements for using an external antenna with the
MeshConnect™ ZigBee and Thread
Mini Modules from
California Eastern Laboratories (CEL). The ZigBee and
Thread ZICM35x Mini Modules have been certified for
use with an external antenna through the use of the
Mini Module castellation pin, a U.FL connector, a U.FL
cable assembly and the specified external antenna. For
the B1010SPx Mini Modules please refer to the
datasheet for latest regulatory certification. This
document deta ils the implementation required to
be compliant with the regulatory certification. In order
to preserve the Modular Radio certification, the
integrator of the module must abide by these
layout recommendations outlined in this
document. Any divergence from these
recommendations will invalidate the modular
radio certifications and require the integrator to
re-certify the module and/or end-product.
