There are certain design guidelines for PCBs that ... between components to minimize latency, but RF prevention is important, too. This PCB has two microcontrollers, and both have clocks as ...

Don’t design your own; grab cheap and tiny RF amplifier modules and put them on a PCB that fits your needs. These are the grandchildren of the old mini circuits modules that were popular among ...

Hardware and software solutions are starting to emerge for this protocol stack promising a new era of location awareness.

Is plain old FR-4 (also known as “Glass Epoxy”) PCB material suitable for use in RF designs[1]? This question comes up time ... but not with changing board thickness. If your circuit design ...

In RF design, an increasing number of components are also being moved from the circuit to the package, either because this results in better performance or because it is cheaper to manufacture. Such ...

microstrip line and coaxial line, filter designs for low-pass, high-pass and band-pass characteristics, amplifier design based on s-parameters, bias network designs, one port and two port oscillator ...

Originally, an RF specialist — compelled to flip the bit now and then to fill the need for high-speed digital design. John enjoys playing bass and racing bikes when he’s not writing about or ...
