BGM220P Wireless Gecko Bluetooth Module Data Sheet Design Guidelines 7. Design Guidelines 7.1 Layout and Placement For optimal performance of the BGM220P, • • • • • 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. Connect all ground pads directly to a solid ground plane. Place the ground vias as close to the ground pads as possible.
PAGE 34
BGM220P Wireless Gecko Bluetooth Module Data Sheet Design Guidelines The width of the GND plane to the sides the module will impact the efficiency of the on-board chip antenna. To achieve optimal performance, a GND plane width of 50 mm is recommended. See 4.16.1 Antenna Radiation and Efficiency for reference. 7.2 Proximity to Other Materials Avoid placing plastic or any other dielectric material in close proximity to the antenna.
