About this Document The RS9113 module is a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ZigBee combo module. It is a dual-band 802.11n single-stream module with built-in MAC/BBP, RF and PA, and front-end components. It interfaces to a host processor through SDIO, SPI, UART or USB interfaces. This document provides information that may be used while integrating the module into an end-to-end solution.

1.4 Circuit and Layout Guidelines The following are guidelines for integrating the RS9113 module with integrated antenna. 1. The wireless module has 27 ground pads, with two different sizes as mentioned below. Please note that all the ground pads are aligned just across the center of the module on the bottom side.
Figure 13 : u.FL Connector on module [Part no. Hirose U.FL-R-SMT (01)] External Antenna The RS9113 based module with integrated antenna module comes with an integrated on board antenna, and also an u.FL connector, where an external antenna can be connected. A choice between the on board antenna and the external antenna can be made through a software command.
