APPLICATIONS

The following sections provide information on design-

ing with the RN52 module, including restoring factory

defaults, using the LED interface, minimizing radio

interference, solder reflow profile, typical application,

etc.

2.1

Minimizing Radio Interference

When laying out the host PCB for the RN52 module,

the areas under the antenna and shielding connections

should not have surface traces, ground planes or

exposed via (see Figure 2-1). For optimal radio perfor-

mance, the RN52 module’s antenna end should

protrude at least 31 mm beyond any metal enclosure.

Figure 2-2 shows examples of good, bad, and

acceptable positioning of the RN52 on the host PCB.
