[Hans Rosenberg] knows a thing or two about RF PCB design and has provided a three-part four-part video demonstration of some solid rules of thumb. We will cover the first part here and leave the ...

Is plain old FR-4 (also known as “Glass Epoxy”) PCB material suitable for use in RF designs[1]? This question comes up time and again. Many say no, fewer say yes – who's right? As I have published ...

There are certain design guidelines for PCBs that don’t make a lot of sense, and practices that seem excessive and unnecessary. Often these are motivated by the black magic that is RF transmission.

What is software defined radio (SDR) and how does it benefit modern communications and RF applications? RF/microwave PCB design for Radar and SDRs. Challenges of SDR PCB design and ways to overcome ...

Using low-cost PCBs (printed-circuitboards), you can easily designa board in a few hours with nearlyany CAD package, even the free ones.You can have your prototype board onyour desk in just two days.

The IoT has increased the demand for good radio frequency (RF) design practices from the mains, to wall outlet power, all the way to the antenna. With several IoT standards employed today, constraint ...

After fifteen years of designing radio frequency circuits for aerospace, defense, and commercial applications, I've learned one fundamental truth: your PCB manufacturer can make or break your project.

The days when RF and microwave design were stand-alone matters are over. Modern RF designs have multiple RF modules combined with high- speed digital and analogue technology sharing the same board ...
