MSD50NBT Hardware Integration Guide Figure 7: Mounting information for MSD50NBT REFERENCE SCHEMATIC OF MSD50NBT RF LAYOUT DESIGN GUIDELINES/PRECAUTIONS The following is a list of RF layout design guidelines and recommendation when installing a Laird radio into your device. Do not run antenna cables directly above or directly below the radio. Do not place any parts or run any high speed digital lines below the radio.
MSD50NBT Hardware Integration Guide In order to get maximum throughput when operate at MIMO 2x2, two antennas with at least 25dB isolation is recommended. To avoid negatively impacting TX power and receiver sensitivity, do no cover the antennas with metallic objects or components. Opening/handing/removing must be done on an anti-ESD treated workbench. All workers must also have undergone anti-ESD treatment. The devices should be mounted within one year of the date of delivery.
