  • Page 22 WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY & SENSORS User manual Ophelia-III Elements for ESD protection should be placed on all pins that are accessible from the outside and should be placed close to the accessible area. For example, the RF-pin is accessible when using an external antenna and should be protected.
  • Page 23: Designing The Antenna Connection

    The antenna should be connected with a 50 line. This is needed to obtain impedance matching to the module and avoids reflections. Here we show as an example how to calculate the dimensions of a 50 line in form of a micro strip above ground, as this is easiest to calculate.
