OPERATION GUIDE 
 
Application note  
(Design guide for RF transmitter and receiver) 
 
 
The following problems generally apply to radio modules
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For stable operation, it is recommned to solder the shield case to PCB wide plane GND 
 
 
Problem Solution 
Touching or moving the antenna changes its impedance, which 
causes variations in emission power. The variation appears as 
distortion in the modulating signal and causes communication errors.
Fix the position of the antenna to avoid moving it. 
Positioning of the antenna is an important factor in operating the radio module 
efficiently. 
If a change in the circuit length occurs due to the on/off of switch etc. 
in the electronic circuit connected to the radio module in the system 
in which the radio module is integrated, the high frequency electric 
potential can vary, disturbing the modulating signal, leading to 
communication errors. 
Add bypass capacitors of 100 to 470 pF in the immediate vicinity of the switches. 
Make the area beneath the radio module a ground pattern, utilizing part of the shield. 
If the power line and/or the signal input line are long the printed line 
can be subject to high frequency noise. This noise may cause 
communication errors. 
Block high frequency elements by adding a choke coil to each line. 
Circuit Design’s receivers are designed to be vibration resistant. 
However there is a limit to the amount of shock and vibration the 
module can sustain due to its construction. 
In order to fix the receiver to the PCB strongly, solder the case to the PCB.  
When using a radio receiver where vibration is always present, use a shock absorber 
or fix the PCB at the vicinity of the four corners of the receiver module in addtion to 
fixing the four corners of the PCB on which the radio module is mounted.  
Circuit Design’s receivers are designed for high sensitivity. They will 
obtain radio signals over long distances. On the other hand, the 
receiver is sensitive to noise from the microcomputer and 
surrounding digital circuits due to its high sensitivity. 
Make the area beneath the radio module a ground pattern, utilizing part of the shield. 
Block high frequency elements by adding a choke coil to each line.
