Visual inspection - Normal apperance with no obvious cracking, peeling-off. 2. Electrical inspection - The DUT satisfies the VSWR specification throughout the 2.4-2.5 GHz band 13 Hazardous Material Regulation Conformance Cadmium and cadmium compound. Organic brominated compound (PBB, PBDE) Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) Polychlorinated naphthalene (PCN) Organic tin compound Asbestos Azo compound Lead and lead compound Mercury and mercury compound Sexivalent chrome compound Chlorinated paraffin (CP) Mirex Formaldehyde Tetra-bromo-bisphenol-A-bis (TBBP-A-bis) Integrated Antenna Solutions Product Specification AE030097-B Comata 2.4 GHz SMD Antenna 14 Application example 5 4 t W Strip line h Ground No crossing strip lines The antenna is of a quarter wave type and is dependent on the groundplane area to complete the antenna function. The antenna performance is also dependent on the size of the groundplane. 1. Placement of the antenna The antenna shall be placed on a groundplane area, preferably at the edge of the PCB oriented as above. 2. Placement of 2.4 GHz module To avoid losses in the strip line, the module shall be placed as close to the antenna as possible. 3. Strip line The strip line must be dimensioned according to your specific PCB. ( see fig 1). No crossing strip lines are allowed between the strip line and its ground plane. 4. Via connections To avoid spurious effects, via connections must be made to analogue ground. 5. Component matching Component values are depending on antenna placement, PCB dimensions and location of other components. 6. DC Block Might be needed depending on RF Module configuration. 7. Clearance Front surface: Minimum clearance to other components, C = 2-5 mm. Back surface: Components allowed. 8. Casing material No metal casing or plastics using metal flakes shall be used, avoid also metallic based paint or laquer. Note ! Incorrect implementation of the antenna will affect the performance.
