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.

Ansoft and UMC are designing, fabricating and testing the circuits, to result in validation of the EMDM design flow for high-performance radio circuits, validation of UMC’s process for UWB circuits, ...

When you first start out in the PCB layout game and know just enough to be dangerous, you simply plop down a connector, run a trace or two, and call it a hack. As you learn more about the finer poi… ...

A typical RF design would begin by entering the schematic in the ADS environment and creating a first pass at the RF circuit layouts. The library system, maintained in both environments, allows the ...

Part of the RF RDK 2.0 contained a critical voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based on standard 65nm TSMC’s Process Design Kit (PDK) devices with proven design flow using industry standard ...
