4.8.4 Layout guidance
The presented layout guidance reduces the risk of performance issues at design level.
4.8.4.1 RF In trace
The RF In trace has to work in the middle L-band frequencies.
A grounded co-planar RF trace is recommended as it provides the maximum shielding from noise
with adequate vias to the ground layer.
Focus on these layout guidelines:
• RF input co-planar caveguide referenced to layer 2, matched to 50 Ω.
