5.1 PCB Storage and Handling Recommendations:

The immersion silver finish of the PCB provides a better high-frequency performance, but is also prone to oxidation in open environment. This oxidation causes the surface around the antenna region to blacken however mmWave Radar performance would remain intact. To avoid oxidation, the PCB should be stored in an ESD cover and kept at a controlled room temperature with low humidity conditions. All ESD precautions must be taken while using and handling the EVM.
