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.

Engineers designing RF systems at millimeter wave frequencies face exponentially increasing challenges as losses compound, parasitics dominate, and system integration becomes critical.

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems. However, ...

If you need an amplifier, [Hans Rosenberg] has some advice. 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 ...

MathWorks tends to deliver regular updates each year, so the release of R2021b comes as no surprise. The list of changes and fixes is extensive with some major enhancements. The Lidar Toolbox includes ...

After several years of experimentation, and growing success in volume manufacturing for some use cases, technologies for 3D printing of electronic circuits are becoming more common. Some innovations ...
