Layout guidelines
The module uses bottom pads for soldering optimized for an automatic solder line. It is also possible to
solder the module manually by using hot air soldering. For manual soldering solder pads may in some
situation be made slightly larger to allow easier heating process.
To achieve good RF performance it is recommended to place ground plane(s) beneath the module but not
under the antenna. The ground planes should be connected with vias surrounding the module. Except from
the ground plane it is preferable that there are as few components and other material as possible nearby
the antenna. Free air is the best surrounding for the antenna.
All GND pads must be connected directly to a flooded ground-plane. If more then one ground layer is used
then make a good connection between them using many via holes. +VCC and +V_PA should be connected
to the LDO using a wide trace.
