The antenna installation structure has a great influence on the module performance. It is necessary to ensure the antenna is exposed and preferably vertically upward.
The traces are as short as possible, and 135° or arc traces are used as much as possible. No vias are used to change layers. More GND vias are placed around the RF traces. Figure 9.

5. Assuming that the module is soldered or placed in the Top Layer, it is also wrong to randomly route the Bottom Layer or other layers, which will affect the spurs and receiving sensitivity of the module to some degree; Shenzhen RF-star Technology Co., Ltd. Page 15 of 23...
3. Due to some humidity-sensitive components, please ensure suitable humidity during installation and application. If there is no special demand, it is not recommended to use at too high or too low temperature. Shenzhen RF-star Technology Co., Ltd. Page 16 of 23...
3. If the extension wire or feeder wire is of poor quality or too long, the bit error rate will be high. 4.8 Electrostatics Discharge Warnings The module will be damaged by the discharge of static. RF-star suggests that all modules should follow the 3 precautions below: 1.
