  • Page 20: Antenna Feed Design

    3.2 Antenna Feed Design UM981S supports feeding the antenna from the outside of the module rather than from the inside. It is recommended to use devices with high power and that can withstand high voltage. Gas discharge tube, varistor, TVS tube and other high-power protective devices may also be used in the power supply circuit to further protect the module from lightning strike and surge.
  • Page 21: Power-On And Power-Off

    UM981S User Manual It is not recommended to use VCC_RF as ANT_BIAS to feed the antenna (VCC_RF has not been optimized for anti-lightning strike, anti-surge and over current protection due to the compact size of the module) D1: ESD diode, choose the ESD protection device that supports high frequency...

    3.4 Grounding and Heat Dissipation Grounding and heat dissipation pad Figure 3-3 Grounding and Heat Dissipation Pad (Bottom View) The 48 pads in the rectangle area are used for grounding and heat dissipation. In the PCB design, the pads should be connected to a large-size ground to strengthen the heat dissipation.

    UM981S User Manual The pads denoted as detail C are 1.79 mm longer than the module border.  The pad denoted as detail A is 0.50 mm longer than the module border. It is  relatively short because it is an RF pin pad, so we hope the trace on the surface is as short as possible to reduce the impact of external interference on the RF signals.
