CC3100MOD wifi module

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100MOD, CC3100

Hi,

I am using CC3100MOD wifi module in my project, i am referring CC3100 datasheet and CC3100MODBOOST-SCH-REV1.0.pdf for RF routing guidelines

1)  CC3100 datasheet page 30 recommended PCB routing guidelines are give only for 2layer and 4layer PCB stackup. My board is 8layer stackup, please provide  guidelines (like trace width, spacing, height for the Transmission line)

my board stackup is as follows

8layer board, 1mm thick, FR4 dielectric, 50ohm single ended,

top layer1

plane2

signal3

plane4

plane5

signal6

plane7

bottom layer8

2) CC3100MODBOOST-SCH-REV1.0.pdf schematics, please find attached image
this schematics shows a MM8030-2610RJ3 in the antenna trace path, what is the purpose of this component ? can i remove this component and implement a UFL connector and antenna. I am planning to implement only UFL connector antenna, no chip antenna

Thanks,

Santosh
