Wow! That was the most comprehensive RF PCB design and component layout lecture I've ever seen! Thank you Zoltan Frasch, Senior Applications Engineer, for putting this together. Makes the planning all more important before cutting the schematic. There is a process and order of that process for sure in RF circuit design and this video helped me learn more of what to add to my already existing process. Thanks! I'll definitely re-watch this video several times to burn it into my consciousness to include it in my RF circuit design process.
I am a bit confused, please give me some guidance, sir. @32:47, X = Copper length (mm) and Y = Copper width (mm), but @33:25 you say "minimize inductance: increase trace/pad WIDTH" Now my confusion: For a SOIC the X = 0.51 mm and for a 3x3 mm CSP the X = 0.6 mm (so the length has increased) So it seems the X (which was labelled as the LENGTH earlier) has increased and the inductance decreased from 0.08 nH to 0.05 nH. So the X would be the width, not the length right? Please help. Thank you very much for the video.
Hello, I have a question for you as an expert, what do you say about separating the analog ground area to the digital ground area with a gap, this means that the return currents will not share the same ground plane, However i had watched a video says that this can cause a differential potential of 1 mvolt between the two ground areas (planes) and hince the external connectors will radiate and hince a failure to meet with EMC requirements? thanks in advance !
This is old but maybe someone else in the future will reply. From my understanding, no designer in this age will tell you to split the ground planes.. Everyone says you want solid ground plane, just "isolate" (split) the digital and analog sections. I have no idea why they say this, but I've only really seen this split plane idea peddled by datasheets/semiconductor manufacturers in general. Almost a theorist/experimentalist debate. Obviously, they should know their stuff, but I'm wondering if it's just an oldage that may have been fine in the 10s of MHz, but not in the modern era with GHz abundant. But I have very little experience myself to comment for sure.
Hello, this was uploaded about 4.5 years ago and the slides are not available. But, we have many articles located on our Analog Dialogue site. Here is a link that searches for "rf design" www.analog.com/en/analog-dialogue/search.html?q=rf%20design
There are too many basic things. I feel like at a lecture for Economists or other non-electronics. A more fitting name for this video would be How to make a PCB and some high speed and RF Design...

Lots of useful and information in here for good PCB design in general. Not just for high speed or RF!
So Munch info, great tuto, thanks forum sharing, thumbs up.
Glad it was helpful!
5yr knowledge in 45 min
Great video. Great content. I've really learnt a lot. Thank you.
Took me forever to find this!!
Excellent presentation!
thanks for making this video .
+Ashish Kushwaha You are very welcome!
Very insightful! It takes long term experience to realize these otherwise.
I wish I have your knowledge on the PCB design for rf applications!
thank you sir for uploading video....

very usefull, thanks @Analog Devices
You're welcome!

Gawed Alameri You are welcome!
cool stuff
Does anyone know where can I find the slides? Thanks.

Dobrý jméno :D
Best video gem right here.
Попытались за 40 минут упомянуть обо всем, в итоге видео вышло вообще ни о чем.... у AD вообще с обучающими видео беда.
