OpenVPX RF PCB: Designing SOSA-Aligned 3U and 6U RF Platform Boards Open platforms have reached the RF module. European Microwave Week 2026 showcases — Planar Monolithics’ SOSA-aligned 0.1–18 GHz transceiver in a 3U OpenVPX, 10-HP format with VITA 67 RF…
Ku-Band BUC PCB: Designing the Board Group Behind a 200–400 W Satellite Uplink Every satellite earth station uplink ends in the same place: a block-upconverter that takes the L-band IF, lifts it to the 13.75–14.5 GHz Ku uplink band, and…
PTFE Backplane PCB: Manufacturing Limits for 1-Metre AI Data-Center Boards AI data-center hardware has outgrown the cable. Analyst coverage of Rogers’ September investor day describes midplane and backplane boards up to a metre long and 24 to 72 layers replacing…
60 GHz In-Cabin Radar PCB: Carrier Boards for AiP Occupant Sensing In-cabin sensing is becoming a standard automotive requirement — child-presence detection, seat occupancy, vital signs and intrusion detection — and the sensor class that carries it has collapsed into…
Direct Sampling Receiver PCB: Designing the ADC Front End for Low Even-Order Distortion Direct sampling — connecting the antenna-side band to the converter without a mixer stage — is no longer a laboratory architecture. Wideband ADCs now reach first and…
PXI RF Test Fixture PCB: Load Boards for Automated RF Production Test Automated RF test has moved into the rack. European Microwave Week 2026 demonstrations showed modular PXI platforms — vector signal transceivers with FPGA-based automation, switching, and real-time channel…
