1 Scope
This document defines the essential specifications necessary to implement the EMMY-W1 antenna reference
designs. The information contained herein and its references should be sufficient to guide a skilled person in an
attempt to implement the design on a host carrier. It will provide the designer with PCB layout details and
expected performance specifications.
The document supports the four different PCB designs for Wi-Fi:

Two connector-based designs for the use of external antennas (one for each antenna pin of the module)

Two designs based on SMD antennas (one for each antenna pin of the module)
This document also supports general guidelines for the design of the NFC interface.

3 General description
When using the EMMY-W1 together with this antenna reference design, the circuit trace layout must be made
in strict compliance with the instructions below.
All the components placed on each RF trace must be kept as indicated in the reference design, even if not used.
The PCB areas of unused reference designs must be flooded with ground.
