DESIGN CONCERNS
Â
The following sections provide information on designing with the RN-131 module, including radio interference, grounding,
solder reflow, connection status, etc.
Minimizing Radio Interference
When integrating the WiFly module with the on-board chip antenna, ensure that the area around the chip antenna end of
the module protrudes at least 6 mm from the motherboard and any metal enclosure. If this placement is not possible, use
the on-board U.FL connector to route to an external antenna.
The 8.5-mm area under the moduleâs antenna end should be kept clear of metallic components, connectors, vias, traces,
and other materials that can interfere with the radio signal. See Figure 6.
