SILICON LABSSLWRB4168AMighty Gecko 2.4GHz Wireless Radio Board for EFR32MG13 for RF Interfaces Matching Networks

The BRD4168A Mighty Gecko Radio Board enables developers to develop Zigbee®, Thread, Bluetooth® low energy and proprietary wireless applications. The board contains a 2.4 GHz Mighty Gecko Wireless System on Chip and it optimized for operating at 19 dBm output power. Radiated and conducted testing is supported with the on-board printed antenna and UFL connector. The BRD4168A Mighty Gecko Radio Board plugs into the Wireless Starter Kit Main board, which is provided with the Mighty Gecko Starter Kit and gives access to display, buttons and additional features from Expansion Boards. With the supporting Simplicity Studio suite of tools, developers can take advantage of graphical wireless application development, mesh networking debug and packet trace, and visual energy profiling and optimization. The board also serves as an RF reference design for applications targeting 2.4 GHz wireless operation with 19 dBm output power. This document contains brief introduction and description of the BRD4168A Radio Board features focusing on the RF sections and performance.
