5 ANTENNA
5 Antenna
5.1 Antenna type
WB2L uses an onboard PCB antenna or Ipex antenna.
5.2 Antenna interference reduction
To ensure optimal Wi-Fi performance when the Wi-Fi module uses an onboard PCB
antenna, it is recommended that the antenna be at least 15mm away from other
metal parts.
To prevent an adverse impact on the antenna radiation performance, avoid copper
or traces along the antenna area on the PCB. The following describes three antenna
placement solutions:
1. Place the antenna outside the PCB frame.
2. Place the antenna along with the PCB frame without copper nearby.
3. Place the antenna in a carved area on the PCB.
The preceding solutions ensure that there are no substrate media above or be-
low the antenna and that copper is at a certain distance away from the antenna
to maximize the antenna radiation performance.
