Antenna
- Please perform the antenna design that followed the specifications of the antenna.
- About the signal line between an antenna and a module
It is a 50-ohm line design.
Fine tuning of return loss etc. can be performed using a matching network. However, it is required to check “Class1 change” and “Class2 change” which the authorities define then.
The concrete contents of a check are the following three points.
- It is the same type as the antenna type of antenna specifications.
- An antenna gain is lower than a gain given in antenna specifications.
- The emission level is not getting worse.
Use the antenna below.
< Chain0 > (Main Antenna)
- Pattern on Board
- Part number: Antenna0 1VY DC1231
- Use the following design on your board to build your antenna.

Use the antenna below.
< Chain1> (Sub Antenna)
- Pattern on flexible substrate + RF cable (External antenna)
- Part number: Antenna1 1VY DC1231 (* including cable)
- Cables length : from 30 to 315mm are available.

FAQ
- Q: Why might the antenna gain vary even if the model name is the same?
A: The antenna gain can be affected by factors such as installation location, cable loss, and surrounding environment. Even with the same model name, variations in these factors can lead to differences in antenna performance. - Q: How do I know which Antenna Type to use?
A: Refer to the specifications provided in the user manual to determine the appropriate Antenna Type based on your requirements and the compatibility with your host platform.
