6.4 Wi-Fi Antenna Requirements

Special care must be taken during the design of the RF section on the application board.
PRELIMINAR
CAUTION! : If The below recommendation is strictly not followed then RF performance degradation and infringements of emission limits will occur
A 50Ω antenna is required with Telit’s WE866E4-P module interface features an SMA connector for an external antenna, alternatively a chip or a printed antenna can be used.
If an integrated or printed antenna is used, it is recommended to place it at the edge of the application board. Since the antenna impedance is required to be tuned to 50Ω.
It is recommended to foresee a PI matching network between the WE866E4-P module and the antenna during first prototyping. If not, a series 0Ω-resistor can be used, leaving the two shunt components unpopulated.
To meet Telit’s FCC certification standard, the antenna on the application board should have a gain value equal/less then the one recommended by Telit.
1VV0301487 Rev. 1.2 27 2018-07-27
WE866E4-P Module Hardware User Guide

6.4.1 PCB Design Guidelines

The WE866E4-P module provides a 50Ω antenna pad, which is routed to the antenna connector (or the integrated antenna) by means of a transmission line.
It is important that the impedance of this line is controlled to 50Ω. The line should be as short as possible with a constant cross section and without abrupt curves. It is isolated from any other noise sources and cross overs from other lines in adjacent layers. Instead, a continuous ground plane is recommended under the antenna trace and a ground via curtain should connect to the coplanar ground planes.
An example of implementation - the details of the antenna trace on the WE866E4-P interface board is as described:
A Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (G-CPW) line has been chosen, since this kind of transmission line ensures good impedance control and can be implemented in an outer PCB layer as required in this case. A SMA female connector has been used to feed the line.
The interface board is realized on a FR4, 4-layers PCB. Substrate material is characterized by relative permittivity εr = 4.6 ± 0.4 @ 1 GHz, TanD= 0.019 ÷ 0.026 @ 1 GHz.
A characteristic impedance of nearly 50 Ω is achieved using trace width of 1.1 mm, clearance from coplanar ground plane = 0.3 mm each side. The line uses reference ground plane on layer 3, while copper is removed from layer 2 underneath the line. Height of the trace above ground plane is 1.335 mm. Calculated characteristic impedance is 51.6 Ω, estimated line loss is less than 0.1 dB.

The PCB must be able to resist higher temperatures which occurs at the lead-free process. This issue should be discussed with the PCB supplier. Generally, the wettability of tin-lead solder paste on the described surface plating is better compared to lead-free solder paste.
It is not necessary to panel the application PCB, however it is suggested to use milled contours and pre-drilled board breakouts. Scoring or v-cut solutions are not recommended.

Stencil’s apertures layout can be the same of the recommended footprint (1:1), a thickness of stencil foil ≥ 120 μm is suggested.
It is recommended to use only “no clean” solder paste in order to avoid the cleaning of the modules after assembly. The lead-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu.
