6 ANTENNA INFORMATION
6 Antenna Information
6.1 Antenna Type
WBR3L uses only an onboard PCB antenna with a gain of 1.82 dBi.
6.2 Antenna Interference Reduction
To ensure optimal WiFi performance when the WiFi module uses an onboard PCB
antenna, it is recommended that the antenna be at least 15 mm away from other
metal parts.

7.2 Resetting
When designing a plate of a module, you should set a reset IC at the foot of CHIP_EN
in advance. The preferable type of IC is BL8506-27CRO. The module is packaged in
the form of SOT23. For solutions to starting a module in some cases, refer to the
circuit in the following figure (R30 is preset and cannot be placed).
