below the antenna have no copper traces. The ground
and power planes under the components serve as a
counterpoise to the PCB antenna. Additional ground
plane on the host PCB will substantially enhance the
performance of the module. For best performance,
place the module on the host PCB by following the
recommendations given in the
Details.
The PCB antenna was designed and simulated using
Ansoft Designer
software by ANSYS Inc. (www.ansoft.com). The goal of
the design was to create a compact, low-cost antenna
with the best radiation pattern.

performance of the antenna is dependant upon the
orientation of the module.
