Rev B1 ECN-03 — PAN611 antenna keep-out (draft)¶
Draft — EverTag Station only
Layout correction for the PAN611 on-board antenna keep-out zone on Connectivity Module PCBs (232200–232204). Not approved. Current revision is A2. Does not apply to Tag (230220) — see Rev B1 ECN-04 — PAN611 keep-out.
Ships in the same B1 respin as Rev B1 ECN-01 — GPIO remap.
What changes¶
Panasonic feedback (Gerber review): the antenna keep-out on A2 is oversized compared to the module specification.
| A2 (measured in Gerber) | B1 (target) | |
|---|---|---|
| Keep-out size | 5.3 × 3.4 mm | 5.0 × 3.25 mm |
| Reference | Current layout | PAN B611-1 Product Specification, page 24 |
Shrink the copper-free zone on all layers under the PAN611 antenna area to match the datasheet. Verify no traces, pours, or components encroach after the change — on gateway variants, coex signals (COEX_REQUEST / COEX_GRANT / COEX_PRIORITY) run along the module edge nearby.
Scope¶
| Board | Change |
|---|---|
| 232200–232204 | Shared connectivity module layout — update keep-out |
232210 LTE extension is out of scope (no PAN611).
