A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the RF traces as short as possible and use 50-ohm impedance matching to minimize signal reflections.
Ensure good thermal conductivity by using a heat sink or thermal pad, and avoid blocking airflow around the device. Operate the device within the specified temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
Power up the device in the following sequence: VCC, then VBAT, and finally enable the RF signal. This ensures proper initialization and minimizes the risk of latch-up or damage.
Use the device's built-in power-saving features, such as the low-power mode and power-down mode. Optimize the RF output power, and consider using a DC-DC converter to reduce power consumption.
Keep the RF pins as short as possible, and use a 50-ohm impedance-matched transmission line. Avoid vias and right-angle bends near the RF pins, and use a ground plane to minimize radiation.
