4.3. Antenna connection
Thyone-I’s smart antenna configuration enables the user to choose between two antenna op-
tions:
4.3.1. On-board PCB antenna
The Thyone-I has an on-board PCB antenna optimized for operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency
band. A simple short between the pins
and
feeds the RF output of the module to
the on-board antenna of the Thyone-I. In this configuration, the module does not require any
additional RF circuitry. For US and Canada, please refer to the trace design in chapter
The integrated antenna is ideal for compact designs where miniaturization is a
priority. This configuration also enables re-use of module certifications for the
end-application.
4.3.2. External antenna
For applications that use an external antenna, the Thyone-I provides a 50
Ω
RF signal on pin
of the module. In this configuration, pin
of the module has to be connected to ground and
pin
to the external antenna via 50
Ω
feed line. Refer to chapter
for further information.
The external antenna configuration enables optimization of radio range at the
cost of additional space on the PCB. This configuration is ideal in situations
where a specialized antenna is necessary. For example, when metal housings
are used.
