PCB and surround it with Ground planes, or shield it with a metal frame cover. • If you don't have EM noisy devices around the PCB of GL865-DUAL V3, by using a micro strip on the superficial copper layer for the antenna line, the line attenuation will be lower than a buried one;...
7.2.1. Transmission line design During the design of the GL865-DUAL V3 interface board, the placement of components has been chosen properly, in order to keep the line length as short as possible, thus leading to lowest power losses possible. A Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (G-CPW) line has been chosen, since this kind of transmission line ensures good impedance control and can be implemented in an outer PCB layer as needed in this case.
HP8753E VNA (Full-2-port calibration) has been used in this measurement session. A calibrated coaxial cable has been soldered at the pad corresponding to GL865-DUAL V3 RF output; a SMA connector has been soldered to the board in order to characterize the losses of the transmission line including the connector itself.
