What has been absent is a way to transfer the RF circuit schematic and shapes, whose parameters must be untouched when transferred from the RF design and simulation tools to the PCB design tools—and ...

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 ...

These are definitely worth a watch! PCB design is as much art as science, and we’ve discussed this subject a lot. Here’s our simple guide to rocking RF PCB designs.

Fairview Microwave has announced the launch of its RF angled PCB connectors, engineered to meet the needs of modern RF applications.

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 ...

Researchers in the US have given the humble RF circulator a makeover. Not only is their prototype smaller, lighter, cheaper <i>and</i> more efficient, it's also claimed to be easily adapted to ...

German semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies AG announced that it’s producing a printed circuit board (PCB) that dissolves in water. Sourced from UK startup Jiva Materials, the plant-based ...

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 go… ...

The book, which was written by two of Optimum Design's most accomplished PCB designers, Brendon Parise and Scott Nance, is titled "A Practical Guide to RF and Mixed Signal Printed Circuit Board ...
