ZigBee- Ready RF Transceiver Module CTL3585

1. General Description

The CTL3585 are compact surface mounted High Power Wireless RF Transceiver Module

specially designed for Ember ZigBee™ protocol stack for wireless networks, EmberZNet, based on

IEEE 802.15.4 standard in the 2.4GHz world-wide ISM band. The size of CTL3514 is 19.2 x 16 x

2.8 mm and the size of CTL3585 is 23.5x16 x2.8mm.It integrated a 2.4GHz, IEEE 802.15.4-2003

12.PCB Layout Recommendations

Please reference Mechanical Dimensions shown in next section for PCB layout.

The area underneath the module should be covered with solder mask in order to prevent short

circuit on the test pads on the back side of the module. A solid ground plane under the module is

preferred.

As the module integrated with onboard PCB trace antenna, the mounting position of the module will

have great impact on the RF performance. There should not be any trace, ground plane or metal

part underneath or nearby the area of the onboard PCB trace antenna. The figure below shows an

example how the module positioned on the mother PCB.
