V1.1 - May, 2020 4.4 Reference Design Note: EN low enable. Figure 7. Reference Design of RF-BM-4044B2/4044B3 4.5 Antenna 4.5.1 Antenna Design Recommendation 1. 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.

6. Assuming that there are devices with large electromagnetic interference around the module, which will greatly affect the module performance. It is recommended to stay away from the module according to the strength of the interference. If circumstances permit, appropriate isolation and shielding can be done. Shenzhen RF-star Technology Co., Ltd. Page 15 of 24...
1. There are co-channel signal interferences nearby. It is recommended to be away from the interference sources or modify the frequency and channel to avoid interferences. 2. The unsatisfactory power supply may also cause garbled. It is necessary to ensure the power supply's reliability. Shenzhen RF-star Technology Co., Ltd. Page 16 of 24...
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.
