The paste mask outline needs to be considered when defining the minimal distance to the next
component.
The exact geometry, distances, stencil thicknesses and solder paste volumes must be adapted to the
specific production processes (e.g. soldering etc.) of the customer.
2.4.2 Placement
A very important factor in achieving maximum performance is the placement of the receiver on the PCB. The
connection to the antenna must be as short as possible to avoid jamming into the very sensitive RF section.
Make sure that RF critical circuits are clearly separated from any other digital circuits on the system board. To
achieve this, position the receiver digital part towards your digital section of the system PCB. Care must also be
