2.2.1.9 Guidelines for VCC supply layout design
Good connection of the module VCC pins with DC supply source is required for correct RF performance.
Guidelines are summarized in the following list:
 All the available VCC pins must be connected to the DC source
 VCC connection must be as wide as possible and as short as possible
 Any series component with Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) greater than few milliohms must be avoided
 VCC connection must be routed through a PCB area separated from RF lines / parts, sensitive analog signals
and sensitive functional units: it is good practice to interpose at least one layer of PCB ground between the
VCC track and other signal routing
 Coupling between VCC and digital lines, especially USB, must be avoided.
 The tank bypass capacitor with low ESR for current spikes smoothing described in section 2.2.1.6 should be
placed close to the VCC pins. If the main DC source is a switching DC-DC converter, place the large
capacitor close to the DC-DC output and minimize VCC track length. Otherwise consider using separate
capacitors for DC-DC converter and module tank capacitor
