You design an RF module using parametric circuit level models, which regard ground planes as ideal and don't take coupling to surrounding circuits into consideration. Then as you implement the circuit ...

You really wouldn’t design an RF circuit like this. [Hans] shows the effect of interrupting the signal return path on a physical test PCB. The result is pretty bad, with the current forced to ...

The analog and digital sections of the board have typically been designed with a PCB design solution, while the RF sections have been designed with specialized RF tools. What has been absent is a way ...

As part of this project, PCB design tools were extended with parametric RF shapes and a new DRC model that understands, for example, that a piece of metal to ground conducting RF energy is not always ...

A standard RF circulator is a three-port ferromagnetic passive device used to control the direction of signal flow in a circuit. In simple terms, magnetic fields are used to channel ...

Modern designers — especially for digital circuits — prefer to use some kind of hardware description language. There are a few options to do similar things with PCB layout, including tscircuit.

Pasternack, a provider of RF, microwave and millimetre-wave products, has announced the launch of its new line of RF angled PCB connectors. This line includes several connectors in different series ...
