[Hans Rosenberg] knows a thing or two about RF PCB design and has provided a three-part four-part video demonstration of some solid rules of thumb. We will cover the first part here and leave the ...

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 standards employed today, constraint ...

There are certain design guidelines for PCBs that don’t make a lot of sense, and practices that seem excessive and unnecessary. Often these are motivated by the black magic that is RF transmission.

Menlo Micro selected Keysight Technologies’ PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) and Electromagnetic (EM) Design software to accelerate their design and development efforts to create high-performance ...

The single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch has been a necessity since the earliest days of electricity and with good reason: It has many simply described yet vital roles in circuits spanning DC up ...

PIN diodes are ideal for transmit-receive (TR) switches because of a favorable blend of cost, size, and switching speed. Although the PIN diode in the transmit (Tx) arm can be connected as either ...

Traditionally, power engineers are trained to think in the time-domain while RF engineers are trained to think in the frequency-domain. To successfully design high-frequency DC-DC converters, the ...
