Single Mode BLE Module
Place regular spaced through-hole GND vias (GCPW transmission line). BL600 development board
uses 0.5mm diameter through-hole GND via with 2 to 4 mm distance apart. Gap between RF_ANT
trace and GND either side is 0.2 mm for below 50-Ohms impedance RF trace design.

6.5 External Antenna Integration with BL600-SC and BL600-ST

Please refer to the regulatory sections for FCC, IC, CE, and
antennas in each regulatory region.
The BL600 family has been designed to operate with the below external antennas (with a maximum gain of
2.21 dBi). The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. See
efficiency.
