MGM210P Mighty Gecko Module Data Sheet Design Guidelines 7. Design Guidelines 7.1 Layout and Placement For optimal performance of the MGM210P, • Place the module aligned to the edge of the application PCB, as illustrated in the figures below. • Leave the antenna clearance area void of any traces, components, or copper on all layers of the application PCB if you are going to use the on-board chip antenna • Antenna clearance area is not necessary if you are using an external antenna attached to the RF pin.

Recommended Layout for MGM210P Using External Antenna The figure below illustrates layout scenarios that will lead to severely degraded RF performance for the module.
MGM210P Mighty Gecko Module Data Sheet Design Guidelines Figure 7.4. RF Trace Design Example 7.2 Proximity to Other Materials Avoid placing plastic or any other dielectric material in close proximity to the antenna. Any metallic objects in close proximity to the antenna will prevent the antenna from radiating freely. The minimum recommended distance of metallic and/or conductive objects is 10 mm in any direction from the antenna except in the directions of the application PCB ground planes. 7.
