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 ...

[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 ...

In this article, we point out some important facts in designing RF application PCB boards. Of course there are many other facts that are not listed below but for the beginners these may be enough for ...

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 ...
