NOTE:
In the customer application, the region under ROUTE INHIBIT (see figure above) must be
clear from signal. The five horseshoe shapes, indicated in the footprint picture above, are solder
resist mask openings in the surrounding GND copper fill. They provide proper GND connection
for built-in RF probes
on Telit’s
production test jig socket. It is not intended to replicate these
horseshoe shapes as well on the
customer’s
module carrier board implementation, the GND
pads surrounding the antenna pads provide solid RF GND.
