NEO-D9C - Integration manual
For FR-4 PCB material with a dielectric permittivity of for example 4.7, the trace width for the 50 Ω
line impedance can be calculated.
Figure 32: Microstrip trace width
A grounded co-planar RF trace is recommended as it provides the maximum shielding from noise
with adequate vias to the ground layer.
Figure 33: Grounded co-planar RF trace
The RF trace must be shielded by vias to ground along the entire length of the trace and the NEO-
D9C RF_IN pad should be surrounded by vias as shown in the figure below.
