DRA2123J0L datasheet by Panasonic Electronic Components

DRA2123J0L Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  A good PCB layout for the DRA2123J0L should consider the following: keep the antenna away from other components, use a solid ground plane, and minimize the length of the transmission lines. A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended.
• How do I ensure reliable antenna connection and tuning?
  To ensure reliable antenna connection and tuning, use a 50-ohm coaxial cable with a secure connection to the antenna. For tuning, use a network analyzer to measure the return loss and adjust the antenna's position and orientation for optimal impedance matching.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this component?
  Although the datasheet specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, it's essential to note that the component's performance may degrade at extreme temperatures. For reliable operation, it's recommended to operate the DRA2123J0L within a temperature range of -20°C to 70°C.
• How do I handle ESD protection for this component?
  To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, handle the DRA2123J0L with an ESD wrist strap or mat, and ensure that the PCB is designed with ESD protection in mind, such as using ESD diodes or resistors.
• What are the recommended soldering conditions for this component?
  For reliable soldering, use a reflow soldering process with a peak temperature of 260°C and a dwell time of 30 seconds. Ensure that the PCB is designed with a solder mask and that the component is properly aligned during the soldering process.
