To ensure RF performance and reliability, the following principles shall be complied with RF layout
design:
Use an impedance simulation tool to accurately control the characteristic impedance of RF traces to
50
Ω.
The GND pins adjacent to RF pins should not be designed as thermal relief pads, and should be fully
