MSP430FR5969: MCU resetting When i changed My GSM antenna Position After approx 10 Second everytime

Part Number: MSP430FR5969

 I am facing a weird issue that when I put all over the circuit of the prototype in a box (casing) mainly antenna there is some network registration like fetching IP issue and sometimes and My MCU will resetting. So, I will solve IP issue but I can't find why MCU continuously restart again n again after approx 10 Sec start of code and GSM module network registration time and when I pull out antenna outside from the casing or Box circuit working fine.

Another thing I noticed when I put my GSM cellular Module Antenna in the casing but behind the MCU PCB working also fine and there no resetting issue but if I placed top side of PCB or facing toward to Topside of PCB Actually i am using cable Antenna  so, I can place everywhere in BOX or casing of my product.

Please if anyone faced the same problem and solved it please help me. I am attaching a MCU circuit section also So, Please find the images,  schematic of MCU power supply booster section And 

  • Hi Yogesh,

    It seems like your board is picking up noise from the GSM antenna which is causing the device to reset. This could be due to the board layout where some trace is acting like an antenna. Have you been able to monitor the supply voltage and reset pin when this occurs? The inductor on your supply could be picking up noise as well if this is not a shielded inductor. When you place the antenna under the PCB, you likely have a ground plane which is working to shield the circuit.
