6.1 Layout Guidelines
This section contains generic PCB layout and design guidelines for the BGM11S module. Generally, please follow these guidelines:
• Place the module at the edge of the PCB, as shown in the figures in this chapter.
• Do not place any metal (traces, components, etc.) in the antenna clearance area.
• Connect all ground pads directly to a solid ground plane.
• Place the ground vias as close to the ground pads as possible.
Figure 6.1. BGM11S PCB top layer design
Following rules are recommended for the PCB design:
• Trace to copper clearance 150um
• PTH drill size 300um
• PTH annular ring 150um
Important
:
The antenna area must align with the pads precisely. Please referto the recommended PCB land pattern for exact dimensions.
