wireless ? 07/2014 6 the mac stack running on the host processor can then control data transmission and manages module peripherals. thus very minimal firmware customization is required for successful module design - in. third - party sensors can then be connected directly to the module, thus expanding the existing set of peripheral interfaces. every zigbit module come pre loaded with atmel assigned 64 - bit mac address stored in the signature bytes of the device. this unique ieee mac address can be used as the mac address of the end product, so there is no need to buy a mac address separately for the product using the zigbit. atzb - x0 - 256 -4-0- cn [ zigbit 900mhz wireless modules ] 42268b ?

metal enclosure should not be used. using low profile enclosure might also affect antenna t uning. ? placing high profile components ne xt to antenna should be avoided ? having holes/vias punched around the periphery of the board eliminates parasitic radiation from the board edges also distorting antenna pattern ? zigbit module should not be placed next to consumer electronics which might interfere with zigbits rf band frequency the board design should prevent propagation of microwave field inside the board material. electromagnetic waves of high frequency may penetrate the board thus making the edges of the board radiate, which may distort the antenna pattern. to eliminate this effect, metalized and grounded holes/vias must be placed around the board's edges. atzb - x0 - 256 -4-0- cn [ zigbit 900mhz wireless modules ] 42268b ?
