band, and the 10pF capacitor mainly filters out the interference of the DCS1800 band. The
coupling interference of TDD has a great relationship with the PCB design of the user. In some
cases, the TDD of the GSM850/EGSM900 frequency band is more serious, and in some cases,
the TDD interference of the DCS1800 frequency band is more serious. Therefore, the user can
select the required filter capacitor according to the actual test result, and sometimes even do
not need to paste the filter capacitor.
The GSM antenna is the main source of coupling interference for TDD, so users should pay
attention to keeping the audio trace away from the GSM antenna and VBAT during PCB
layout and routing. The filter capacitor of the audio is preferably placed close to the module
end and placed next to the interface end. The audio output should be routed according to the
differential signal rules.
The conducted interference is mainly caused by the voltage drop of VBAT. If the Audio PA is
directly powered by VBAT, it is easier to hear the “zizi” sound at the SPK output. Therefore, it
is better to connect in parallel with the input of the Audio PA in the schematic design. Some
large capacitance capacitors and series magnetic beads.
The conducted interference is also strongly related to TDD and GND. If GND is not
handled well, many high-frequency interference signals will interfere with MIC and Speaker
through devices such as bypass capacitors, so users should ensure good performance of GND
during PCB design.

Because the outer ring pad of the module is designed with stamp hole, it is necessary to
expand the pad to enhance the tin climbing ability when making the SMD steel mesh.
Therefore, a sufficient safety distance should be reserved between the module pad and other
main board devices. The recommended safe distance is 3mm, as shown in the following figure:
