• The RF trace should have 50
Ω
single-ended characteristic impedance. The reference plane is the second
layer. A
π
-type matching circuit should be reserved on the RF trace and placed close to the chip.
• The RF trace should have consistent width and not branch out. It should be as short as possible with
dense ground vias around for inteference shielding.
