Page 18: Antenna Placement And Routing
Antenna Placement and Routing The antenna is the element used to convert the guided waves on the PCB traces to the free space electromagnetic radiation. The placement and layout of the antenna are the keys to increased range and data rates. Table 6‐2 provides a summary of the antenna guidelines. Item Guidelines 1 Place the antenna on an edge or corner of the PCB. 2 Ensure that no signals are routed across the antenna elements on all the layers of the PCB. 3 Most antennas, including the chip antenna used on the booster pack, require ground clearance on all the layers of the PCB. Ensure that the ground is cleared on inner layers as well. 4 Ensure that there is provision to place matching components for the antenna. These must be tuned for best return loss when the complete board is assembled. Any plastics or casing must also be mounted while tuning the antenna because this can impact the impedance. 5 Ensure that the antenna impedance is 50 Ω because the device is rated to work only with a 50‐Ω system. 6 In case of printed antenna, ensure that the simulation is performed with the solder mask in consideration. 7 Ensure that the antenna has a near omni‐directional pattern. 8 The feed point of the antenna is required to be grounded. This is only for the antenna type used on the CC3120MOD BoosterPack. Refer to the specific antenna data sheets for the recommendations. Table 6‐2: Antenna Guidelines Transmission Line Considerations The RF signal from the device is routed to the antenna using a Coplanar Waveguide with ground (CPW‐ G) structure. The CPW‐G structure offers the maximum amount of isolation and the best possible shielding to the RF lines. In addition to the ground on the L1 layer, placing GND vias along the line also provides additional shielding. Figure 6‐5 shows a cross section of the coplanar waveguide with the critical dimensions.

The host system using this module must display a visible label indicating the following text: Contains transmitter module with certificate number 201‐170387 Device Classifications Since host devices vary widely with design features and configurations module integrators shall follow the guidelines below regarding device classification and simultaneous transmission, and seek guidance from their preferred regulatory test lab to determine how regulatory guidelines will impact the device compliance. Proactive management of the regulatory process will minimize unexpected schedule delays and costs due to unplanned testing activities. The module integrator must determine the minimum distance required between their host device and the user’s body. The FCC provides device classification definitions to assist in making the correct determination. Note that these classifications are guidelines only; strict adherence to a device classification may not satisfy the regulatory requirement as near‐body device design details may vary widely. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the appropriate device category for your host product and if a KDB or PBA must be submitted to the FCC. Note, the module you are using has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. Portable applications may require further RF exposure (SAR) evaluations. It is also likely that the host / module combination will need to undergo testing for FCC Part 15 regardless of the device classification. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in determining the exact tests which are required on the host / module combination. FCC Definitions Portable: (§2.1093) — A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is / are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.

Simultaneous Transmission Evaluation This module has not been evaluated or approved for simultaneous transmission as it is impossible to determine the exact multi‐transmission scenario that a host manufacturer may choose. Any simultaneous transmission condition established through module integration into a host product must be evaluated per the requirements in KDB447498D01(8) and KDB616217D01,D03 (for laptop, notebook, netbook, and tablet applications). These requirements include, but are not limited to: Transmitters and modules certified for mobile or portable exposure conditions can be incorporated in mobile host devices without further testing or certification when: The closest separation among all simultaneous transmitting antennas is >20 cm, Or Antenna separation distance and MPE compliance requirements for ALL simultaneous transmitting antennas have been specified in the application filing of at least one of the certified transmitters within the host device. In addition, when transmitters certified for portable use are incorporated in a mobile host device, the antenna(s) must be >5 cm from all other simultaneous transmitting antennas. All antennas in the final product must be at least 20 cm from users and nearby persons.
