4. Antenna interface
The Pin 63 is the RF antenna pad. The RF interface has an impedance of 50
Ω
.

: Reference design for RF
M50 provides an RF antenna pad for customer’s antenna connection. The RF trace in host PCB
connected to the module RF antenna pad should be micro-strip line or other types of RF trace,
whose characteristic impedance should be close to 50
Ω
. M50 comes with grounding pads which
are next to the antenna pad in order to give a better grounding. Besides, a
∏
type match circuit is
suggested to be used to adjust the RF performance.
To minimize the loss on the RF trace and RF cable, take design into account carefully. It is
recommended that the insertion loss should meet the following requirements:
