5.5 Basic Operation of Hardware Design

 

1. 

It is recommended to offer the module a  DC stabilized power  supply, a  tiny power supply ripple coefficient, and 

reliable ground. Please pay attention to the correct connection between the positive and negative poles of the power 

supply. Otherwise, the reverse connection may cause permanent damage to the module;

 

2. 

Please ensure the supply voltage is between the recommended values. The module will be permanently damaged 

if  the  voltage  exceeds  the  maximum  value.  Please  ensure  a  stable  power  supply  and  no  frequently  fluctuating 

voltage.

 

3. 

When designing the power supply circuit for the module, it is recommended to reserve more than 30% of the margin, 

which is beneficial to the long-term stable operation of the whole machine. The module should be far away from the 

power electromagnetic, transformer, high-frequency wiring, and other parts with large electromagnetic interference.

 

4. 

The bottom of the module should avoid high-frequency digital routing, high-frequency analog routing, and power 

routing. If it has to route the wire on the bottom of the module, for example, it is assumed that the module is soldered 

to the Top Layer,

 

the copper must be spread on the connection part of the top layer and the module, and be close 

to the digital part of the module and routed in the Bottom Layer (all copper is well-grounded). 

 

5. 

Assuming that the module is soldered or placed in the Top Layer, it is also wrong to randomly route the Bottom Layer 

or other layers, which will affect the spurs and receiving sensitivity of the module to some degree;

 

6. 

Assuming that there are devices with large electromagnetic interference around the module, which will greatly affect 

the  module  performance.  It  is  recommended  to  stay  away  from  the  module  according  to  the  strength  of  the 

interference. If circumstances permit, appropriate isolation and shielding can be done.

 

7. 

Assuming that there are routings of large electromagnetic interference around the module (high-frequency digital, 

high-frequency analog, power routings), which will also greatly affect the module performance. It is recommended 

to stay away from the module according to the strength of the interference. If circumstances permit, appropriate 

isolation and shielding can be done.

 

8. 

It  is  recommended  to  stay  away  from  the  devices  whose  TTL  protocol  is  the  same  2.4  GHz  physical  layer,  for 

example, USB 3.0.

 

5.6 Trouble Shooting

 

5.6.1 Unsatisfactory Transmission Distance 

 

1. 

When there is  a  linear communication obstacle, the  communication distance will be correspondingly weakened. 

Temperature, humidity, and co-channel interference will lead to an increase in the communication packet loss rate. 

The performances of ground absorption and reflection of radio waves will be poor when the module is tested close 

to the ground.

 

2. 

Seawater has a strong ability to absorb radio waves, so the test results by the seaside are poor.

 

3. 

The signal attenuation will be very obvious if there is metal near the antenna or if the module is placed inside the
