All this bouncing RF also raises hell with your power integrity. See, Bob Thomas described the RF radiating out of the board edge. When I mentioned Istvan’s trick to Howard Johnson, the famous signal ...

When you ask someone why 90-degree traces on a printed circuit board is bad, the first reason given is RF interference. The most-cited reason as to why you shouldn’t use square corners on traces ...

These advances enable smaller size, reduced board cost, and lower power consumption, while simplifying the board design process. The benefits of the new RF transceiver technologies are: 1.

Software-defined radio (SDR) requires complex circuitry on printed circuit boards (PCBs) that defines the functionality of the device as well as the performance of these microwave and RF systems ...

These connectors are offered in 1.85 mm, 2.4 mm and 2.92 mm sizes and feature interfaces for frequencies ranging from DC to 67 GHz and cater to a diverse range of military defence and test and ...

By Jim Martens and David Zima 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 ...
