According to the V_INT supply output voltage ripple characteristic specified in the TOBY-L2 Data Sheet [1]:
Additional filtering may be needed to properly supply an external LNA, depending on the characteristics of
the used LNA, adding a series ferrite bead and a bypass capacitor (e.g. the Murata BLM15HD182SN1 ferrite
bead and the Murata GRM1555C1H220J 22 pF capacitor) at the input of the external LNA supply line
