Doc No: WG1300BE00 EM Board-UG-R02 2.3. Hardware Setup Before conducting performance test, EM Board should be connected to Host platform with mating connectors, J6 and J7. For the case of using EM mating connector for hardware connection, the mating EM connector should be lined up and spaced 1.2” apart as Figure 3 below Figure 3.

Board Layout Table 8 and Figure 10 describe instances of good layout practices. Reference Guideline Descriptions 1 The proximity of ground vias must be close to the pad. 2 Signal traces must not be run underneath the module on the layer where the module is mounted. 3 Increase the ground pour in the first layer.
Doc No: WG1300BE00 EM Board-UG-R02 1 2, 3 4 Figure 10. Module Layout Guidelines Figure 11 shows the RF trace design for the PCB. A 50-Ω impedance match on the trace to the antenna should be used. Also, 50-Ω traces are recommended for the PCB layout. Figure 11 also lists the distances. Figure 12 shows layer 1 with the trace to the antenna over the layer 2. Table 9 and Figure 13 describe instances of good layout practices for the antenna and RF trace routing. Figure 11.
Doc No: WG1300BE00 EM Board-UG-R02 Figure 12. Layer 1 Combined with Layer 2 Reference Guideline Descriptions 1 The RF trace antenna feed must be as short as possible beyond the ground reference. At this point, the trace starts to radiate. 2 The RF trace bends must be gradual with an approximate maximum bend of 45 degrees with trace mitered. RF traces must not have sharp corners. 3 RF traces must have via stitching on the ground plane beside the RF trace on both sides.

Antenna and RF Trace Routing Layout Guidelines The following show the supply routing guidelines: For power supply routing, the power trace for VBAT must be at least 40 mil wide. The 1.8-V trace must be at least 18 mil wide. Make VBAT traces as wide as possible to ensure reduced inductance and trace resistance. If possible, shield VBAT traces with ground above, below, and beside the traces.
