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.

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 ...

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 ...

To a lot of people, radio-frequency (RF) design is black magic. Even if you’ve built a number of RF projects, and worked your way through the low-lying gotchas, you’ve probably still got a healthy ...

A very long time ago, in the “old days” of lower frequencies and discrete point-to-point wiring, what was mostly needed to build a physical circuit was schematic, a fulfilled BOM, and perhaps an ...

Main challenges facing RF designers. Design issues regarding PCBs, 5G, and regulations. Difficulties in finding RF engineering talent. Having been involved in developing products in virtually every ...

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.

Next-generation wireless communication and radar systems often demand increased RF power within a smaller footprint to meet the performance and size requirements of their respective commercial and ...
