The PCB trace going from the ANT port of the module to the antenna (Red trace on Figure 2) should be a 50Ω microstrip line. As antenna problematics are not trivial, ADEUNIS RF will gladly assist you in your choice or design of antennas so as to optimize the perfor- mance of your products.
SIGFOX - Si868_25mW - User guide version V1.3 - Software version V1.3 • Multiple vias should connect both GND planes together. • It is best if the bottom-side GND plane is kept clean and uninterrupted for maximum RF performance • It is best if the PCB has one of its dimensions (width or length) equal to /4, i.e. 8.6cm at 868MHz for maximum RF performance 4. SIGFOX Cycle A SIGFOX cycle always start with an uplink transmission i.e. sending data from end device – our ARF module – to the SIGFOX Network. This message is always transmitted three time.

Command Description Reply AT$SB=<Bit value>,<Bidir/Monodir> Send a bit value i.e. a simple binary 0 or 1 <Bit value>=0 or 1 value over the SIGFOX network.
SIGFOX - Si868_25mW - User guide version V1.3 - Software version V1.3 5.3.3.3 AT$SF command with uplink only This implements a communication with only uplink data (from end device to network server). The frame is transmitted according the S202 register value + 1. Each transmission is followed by a one second interval. The frame to be sent is coded in ASCII bytes in hexadecimal format. Two ASCII bytes are required to encode one hexadecimal value.
