Applications information
The following are some suggestions to better implement the BT-STA2425 module in the final application.
"
The module is usually mounted on a motherboard, so avoid routing tracks with switching signals below the module. The best would be to have a ground plane beneath the module. Connect the power supply ground of the module with the other grounds in a star fashion on the motherboard. Keep the RF ground separate from the module power supply ground - the two grounds are already connected at one point inside the module. A possible implementation is shown in Figure 5. Ground connections

The RF pin must be connected to an antenna which could be one of those shown in Figure 6 and explained as follows.

Whichever type of antenna is chosen, the connection from the RF antenna pin, BT_ANTENNA, must follow good RF design practice and maintain the characteristic impedance (Z0) of 50 Ω, by careful track layout, for maximum power transfer. Figure 7. Antenna connection
Tracks with Z0 ==550Ω Traces with Z0 0 ohm
Antenna connection Antenna connection
RF out pin
50 Ω matching depends on various factors, for instance:
" " "
the type of board material, for example FR4
the electrical characteristics of the board, for example the relative permittivity, εr, at 2.4 GHz the mechanical dimensions of the board and tracks, for example PCB thickness, track and ground thicknesses, track width.
As an example, using a 1-mm thick FR4 board (εr = 4.3 at 2.4 GHz) with copper thickness of 41 µm, the required track width for 50-Ω strip-line is 1.9 mm (microstrip-type calculation) Figure 8. Parameters for track matching
