PCB Design Guidelines 

Some  guidelines  must  be  followed  as  to  ensure  the  PCB  design  meets  the  RFD900ux  thermal 
dissipation and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. The proposed layout can be used as a 
starting point and it is not guaranteed to comply with EM immunity and emissions regulations as is. 
The PCB designer is expected to calculate the RF antenna track widths to be 50

 outputs, depending 

on the host PCB layer stack up and dielectric constant.
