Working on the high-frequency taper, a couple things have been bothering me--the two ground vias circled in the attached picture. Are they either optional or moveable?
they're not really optional, they're GNDing VIAs for a couple of capacitors on the TOP layer, associated with the PMIC area. i'll take a look, see what they're for: it *might* be possible to move them direclly south or south east, to the edge of the exclusion area.
also i just noticed that TX1N/P has that little kink, it turns 45 degrees anti-clockwise (from the long horizontal straight) about 15mil late, and i really don't know why :)
If so, even moving them East or Northeast takes some pressure off the taper. If not, we'll work around them but it is a little more complicated.
less complicated is good....
