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. 2 FCC/IC ID reference Model FCC ID IC ID EMMY-W161 XPYEMMYW161 8595A-EMMYW161 EMMY-W163 XPYEMMYW163 8595A-EMMYW163 EMMY-W165 XPYEMMYW165 8595A-EMMYW165 Table 1: FCC and IC IDs for different models of EMMY-W1 series EMMY-W1 Antenna reference design UBX-16015910 Page 1 of 12 locate, communicate, accelerate 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.
