1 Scope
This document defines the essential specifications necessary to implement the ELLA-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:

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)

3 General description
When using the ELLA-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.

3.3 Mechanical dimensions
The mechanical dimensions and position of the components are specified in Figure 3.
The layers beneath the ‘top layer’ have the same dimensions and are filled with ground. No RF traces are routed
in those layers.
