2.2.2 RF Line Routing Design
2.2.2.1 RF Interface Signals Circuit Diagram Example
Figure 6 is a topology reference, and it is recommended not to deviate from this circuit for your
external application.
The RF inter-connects called RF Port 1 and RF Port 2 are examples only. Depending on the
RF antenna, the interfacing system will dictate the RF inter-connects.
Figure 6: RF interface signals example
Please be also aware of ESD protection required on the RF interface lines. ESD protection
might be utilized through the above pi-network (primarily intended for managing any additional
RF optimization needs), or by additional components in series with the pi-network illustrated
above.
