Document No: 0020-00-07-00-000 (Issue A) 3 PRELIMINARY DATASHEET ZB3212F6R4SP2 ANTENNA The Cortet Mini Modules include an integrated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) trace antenna certified for FCC & IC requirements. An optional configuration which uses a castellation pin on the module allows the user to connect to an external antenna however this implementation would require certification by the end user and may not use the CEL FCC ID number on the label. The PCB antenna employs a topology that is compact and highly efficient. To maximize range, an adequate ground plane must be provided on the host PCB. Correctly positioned, the ground plane on the host PCB will contribute significantly to the antenna performance. For optimum antenna performance, the Cortet Mini Module should be mounted with the PCB trace antenna overhanging the edge of the host board and ideally in the upper left corner of the host board so that free space is left of the module as opposed to additional pcb and components. To further improve performance, a ground plane may be placed on the host board under the module, up to the antenna but not extending under the antenna (a minimum of 1.5" x 1.5" is recommended). The installation of an uninterrupted ground plane on a layer directly beneath the module will also allow traces to be routed under the layer. Refer to the application note Mini Modules Hardware Design Guidelines for more details. CEL can assist with your PCB layout. The following are some design guidelines to help ensure optimal antenna performance:
The antenna portion of the Mini Module should hang over the host board so that there is not any additional PCB under the antenna. In the final assembly, ensure that wiring and other components are not placed near the antenna Never place the antenna close to metallic objects Do not place the antenna in a metallic or metalized plastic enclosure Keep plastic enclosures a minimum of 1cm away from the antenna in any direction Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformment la rglementation d'Industrie Canada, le prsent metteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou infrieur) approuv pour l'metteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de rduire les risques de brouillage radiolectrique l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonne quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dpasse pas l'intensit ncessaire l'tablissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Note: The quality of solder joints on the castellations ("half vias") where they contact the host board should meet the appropriate IPC Specification. See the Castellated Terminations Section in the latest IPC-A-610 Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies document. Cleaning In general, cleaning the populated module is strongly discouraged. Residuals under the module cannot be easily removed with any cleaning process. Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host board and the module. The combination of soldering flux residuals and encapsulated water could lead to short circuits between neighboring pads. Water could also damage any stickers or labels. Cleaning with alcohol or a similar organic solvent will housings, which is not accessible for post-washing inspection. The solvent could also damage any stickers or labels. Ultrasonic cleaning could damage the module permanently. The best approach is to consider using a No Clean solder paste and eliminate the post-soldering cleaning step. flood soldering flux residuals likely into the two Optical Inspection After soldering the module to the host board, consider optical inspection to check the following:
Proper alignment and centering of the module over the pads Proper solder joints on all pads Excessive solder or contacts to neighboring pads or vias Repeating Reflow Soldering Only a single reflow soldering process is encouraged for host boards.

Document No: 0020-00-07-00-000 (Issue A) 9 PRELIMINARY DATASHEET ZB3212F6R4SP2 Wave Soldering If a wave soldering process is required on the host boards due to the presence of leaded components, only a single wave soldering process is encouraged. Hand Soldering Hand soldering is possible. When using a soldering iron, follow IPC recommendations (reference document IPC-7711). Rework The Cortet module can be unsoldered from the host board. Use of a hot air rework tool should be programmable and the solder joint and module should not exceed the maximum peak reflow temperature of 250C. Caution If temperature ramps exceed the reflow temperature profile, module and component damage may occur due to thermal shock. Avoid overheating. Warning Never attempt a rework on the module itself (i.e., replacing individual components); such actions will terminate warranty coverage. Additional Grounding Attempts to improve the module or the system grounding by soldering braids, wires or cables onto the module RF shield cover is done at the customer's own risk. The ground pins at the module perimeter should be sufficient for optimum immunity to external RF interference. This document is subject to change without notice.
