D-Band PCB: Manufacturing Limits and Loss Budgets at 110–170 GHz D-band — 110 to 170 GHz — is where the PCB industry’s usual vocabulary starts to fail. Wavelengths drop below 2 mm, copper skin depth drops below 0.2 µm, and…
Space-Grade SDR PCB: Wideband Front End, Converter Interface and Vacuum-Compatible Stackup A software-defined radio is a converter with analog built around it. That one sentence explains most of the layout decisions on the board: the aperture feeds a low-noise amplifier,…
GNSS Anti-Jamming PCB: CRPA Arrays, Multi-RF Isolation and Precision Timing A GNSS anti-jamming PCB is a board that has to do two jobs that pull in opposite directions: receive a signal about 30 dB below the thermal noise of its…
NR-NTN Terminal PCB: Board-Level Evidence for Satellite Direct-to-Device 5G satellite direct-to-device has spent years as a demonstration. That phase is ending: a national certification body in Korea has adopted a full NR-NTN conformance suite for satellite devices and networks —…
RF Power Divider PCB: Wilkinson Networks, Isolation and Balance Power dividers rarely headline a system — they sit between the amplifier and the antenna, between the receiver and the channels, between the test port and the DUT. But the discipline…
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…
