1.8.2 NINA-W1x2 and W1x6 integrated antennas
To simplify integration, NINA-W1x2 and W1x6 modules are equipped with an integrated antenna. An
integrated antenna design means there is no need for an RF trace design on the host PCB. This means
less effort is required in the test lab.
NINA-W1x2 modules use an internal metal sheet PIFA antenna, while the NINA-W1x6 modules are
equipped with a PCB trace antenna that is based on technology licensed from Proant AB.
1.9 Reserved pins (RSVD)
Do not connect the reserved (RSVD) pin. Reserved pins are allocated for future interfaces and
functionality.
1.10 GND pins
Good electrical connection of module GND pins, using solid ground layer of the host application board,
is required for correct RF performance. Firm connections provide a thermal heat sink for the module
and significantly reduce EMC issues.
