3 General description
When using the LILY-W131 together with this antenna reference design, the circuit trace layout must be made
in strict compliance with the instructions below.
All the components placed on each RF trace must be kept as indicated in the reference design. The reference
design uses a micro coaxial connector that is connected to the external antenna via a 50 Ω pigtail.

allowed to be routed on the GND layer within this area but vias and small openings are allowed.
The minimum size of the top layer GND plane is marked in Figure 4 and no other components are allowed
within this area.
