A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the RF traces as short as possible and use 50-ohm impedance matching to minimize signal reflections.
Use the lowest possible supply voltage (1.8V) and adjust the bias current to the minimum required for your application. Disable unnecessary blocks and use the power-down mode when not transmitting or receiving.
The BF1201WR,115 is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C. However, it's recommended to operate within the -20°C to +70°C range for optimal performance and reliability.
Use a shielded enclosure, keep the device away from other RF sources, and ensure proper grounding and decoupling. Follow the recommended PCB layout and use EMI filters if necessary.
The typical current consumption during transmission is around 120mA, and during reception, it's around 50mA. However, this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
