Silicon Labs Mighty Gecko EFR32MG13 Wireless Radio Board for RF Interfaces Matching Networks 2.4GHz SLWRB4159A

The BRD4159A 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 10 dBm output power. Radiated and conducted testing is supported with the on-board printed antenna and UFL connector. The BRD4159A 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 10 dBm output power. This document contains brief introduction and description of the BRD4159A Radio Board features focusing on the RF sections and performance.
