Getting Started

When designing with the W3008, strictly follow the manufacturer ground clearance area requirements of 4.00 x 4.25 mm to ensure proper resonance. Engineers should use a pi-matching network between the radio output and the antenna feed point to optimize return loss and efficiency on the specific PCB stackup.
