3.  CMT2210A PCB Layout Recommendations 

The following PCB layout design guidelines take the CMT2210A-EM as an example.

 

 

CMT2210A-EM is a 2-layer PCB using FR4 PCB material. The thickness of the PCB is 0.8 mm; the thickness for 

the copper is 1 ounce (0.0356mm); the separation between ground pour copper and traces/pads is 0.3 mm; the 

dielectric constant (Er) for the FR4 material is 4.4. In general, the impedance of the coplanar transmission line is in 

proportion to the thickness of the PCB and the distance between the routing and grounding around it. It is in inverse 

proportion to the width/thickness of the routing and the dielectric constant (Er). Using a conventional transmission 

line calculator (such as Txline), a 1-

mm width of the 50 Ω coplanar transmission line can be obtained. 

 

 

3.1  CMT2210A-EM PCB Layout 

The PCB layout as shown in Figure 2 has six sections. They are RF Input, Power Supply Decoupling, XTAL Circuit, 

VCO Tank Circuit, Digital Signals Routing, and Grounding.
