3.8 Typical Layout Problems and Solutions 24
3.8.1 Ripple in the power supply is not large, but the RF transmit (TX) performance is rather poor. 24
3.8.2 Ripple in power supply is small during packet transmission, but RF TX performance is still poor. 24
3.8.3 When ESP32-C3 family transmits data packets, the measured power is much higher or lower
than the target power, and the EVM is relatively poor. 24
3.8.4 TX performance is not bad, but the RX sensitivity is low. 24
