4.8. General layout guidelines for Enfora GSM modules
To ensure lowest possible EMI emission, maximum thermal conduction and mechanical integrity, all
metal tabs on the GSM module shield must be soldered down on to a continuous ground plane. The
PCB trace that feeds the RF output port should be 50ohm characteristic impedance, coplanar, or
routed into internal layers to keep the top layer continuous around and underneath the device.
Provide ample ground vias around metal tabs, the RF trace and launch pad. If possible, keep I/O and
power traces away from the RF port.
