MRF24WG0MA/MB
Figure 1-4 shows the recommended host PCB footprint
for the module.
The MRF24WG0MA has an integrated PCB antenna.
For best performance, follow the mounting details
shown in Figure 1-4.
For best performance, mount the module on the PCB
without metal obstructions in the keep out area of
Figure 1-4. The antenna is tuned to have FR4 PCB
material underneath the module. Do not “cut-out” host
PCB material under the antenna.
FIGURE 1-4:
RECOMMENDED HOST PCB FOOTPRINT
Note 1: The “Note 1” demarcation specifies the host PCB copper plane keep-out area on underlying
board layers. It is permissible to route surface escape traces in this area.
