Follow these RF trace routing recommendations:
a) RF traces must have 50-Ω impedance.
b) RF traces must not have sharp corners.
c) RF traces must have via stitching on the ground plane beside the RF trace on both sides.
d) RF traces must be as short as possible. The antenna, RF traces, and module must be on the edge
of the PCB product in consideration of the product enclosure material and proximity.
2.3 TEK784 Module Layout Recommendations.
Follow these module layout recommendations:
a) Ensure a solid ground plane and ground vias under the module for stable system an thermal dissipation.
b) Do not run signal traces underneath the module on the layer where the module is mounted.
c) Signal traces can be run on a third layer under the solid ground layer and beneath the module mounting.
d) Run the host interfaces with ground on the adjacent layer to improve the return path.
e) Route the signals as short as possible to the host.

NOTE
It is not recommended to use conformal coating or similar material on the TEK 784 module.
This coating can lead to localized stress on the SMT solder connections inside the
module and impact the device reliability. Care should be taken during module assembly
process to the final PCB to avoid the presence of foreign material inside the module.
