Because RF cables used by the antenna inevitably introduce certain loss, it is necessary to consider the wiring
length of RF cables during the design of module position and antenna position. It is recommended to control the
length within the loss range of 0.5 dB (HF). During the wiring design of antenna RF cables, avoid right angle,
pressed and wearing.
The recommended receptacles Mode of ECT 818000157 is ECT 818000160 as shown below:

Preliminary Antenna Evaluation
The antenna is a sensitive device and its performance is greatly affected by external environments. The radiation
performance of the antenna is affected by the mainboard dimensions, antenna position, occupied space size of
the antenna, and the grounding of surrounding components of the antenna. Besides, the fixed assembly of the
antenna, the wiring of RF cables on the antenna, and the fixed position of the antenna all affect the radiation
performance of the antenna too. Thus, during the preliminary design phase of an antenna, it is critical that
antenna engineers, RF engineers, baseband engineers, structure engineers, and ID engineers work together to
make an estimation for both 2D and 3D design.
The antenna interface should have an impedance of 50Ω.
