Very well explained. I've been designing electronic circuits for almost 40 years and this is one of the best explanation I have seen so far. Good job!!
This series on PCB design is a must for any design engineer and especially useful for those designing RF circuit boards. I'm going to watch every video you have published. It is very generous of you to provide your 30+ years of circuit board design experience to us in the form of a checklist. Please, I would love to have a copy of your checklist.
Beautiful. I have worked with grounding strategies well, but not in RF. In the Audio range, we created attenuators with up to 165dB of dynamic range and a preamplifier with 180dB of CMRR under ideal conditions. We moved grounding points just tenths of an mm and sometimes had to go off the board with twisted pair conductors. I would love to have the time and capability to make a video like yours on this subject!
Wow, did you really achieve 180dB? Are you really sure, I don't know of any analyzer yet with that kind of dynamic range to measure this. I can imagine a tenth of a mm will make a huge difference, you're talking a factor of 1.000.000.000 between the largest and smallest signal! I would be really really curious to see a video on that project as well, sounds really impressive. You have the same kind of mm problem when taking the feedback point of a power amplifier, if you put that a little off center, the distortion will get larger since you have currents coming from the top half and the bottom half of the output stage.
@@HansRosenberg74 yes, achieved this - the measurements made by one of my colleagues who is an analogue wizard, using crazy step-up and attenuation chains, the instrument was R&S UPV150 - you need to know what you are doing, promise…… Such fun times
Really clear explanation of ground loops- thank you! As a pragmatist I appreciate the comparison of the theoretical data and actual responses. I’d like to get a copy of the guidebook that you offered please!

@@HansRosenberg74 I posted this video to the amateur radio subreddit... the fact that your examples are RF filters puts it right up our community's alley. I don't know how much you intend to cover RF, but it's not easy to find good material in this area!
I get it, RF seems to be a 'desert' on the internet. I think it would be a good idea for my channel to cover more, people seem to really like it :-) My main focus is audio actually, but I design my audio devices like RF devices since they're sensitive to all RF radiation out there (am demodulation which causes Transient Intermodulation Distortion). I do plan to show how to make a simple RF amplifier board. Seeing the enthusiasm, maybe I should to more.
Fantastic to hear, the best thing for me to hear is that people can actually use my content. My goal is to share everything I've learned (this will take some time :-) )
This is superb pedagogy, Mr. Rosenberg! The hardware demonstrations drive home your points very clearly. I'm an experienced mixed-signal EE, and the secrets you are giving away in these videos took me decades to learn. Kudos to you for passing them along to the next generation of design engineers. (Do please send me your design review checklist.)
Hi Hans. Thank you for your videos! This information is just what i need, as I am currently in the process of designing my very first PCB - all the way from idea to component selection and PCB design 🙂 Thank you!
Hi, then my design checklist will really really help you. It's my 30+ years of pcb design experience covering the whole process. If you read that you'll have a huge headstart. You can get it here: www.hans-rosenberg.com/checklist Best regards, Hans
If you read it, let me know what you think. I'd love to have some feedback from someone starting out. Maybe I use terms that are not clear for someone starting out, or maybe there are other things unclear.
I have spent many years learning all this from various IC manufacturer datasheets and application notes. Thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge. Would appreciate getting your checklist.
This is a great tutorial thanks a lot. but i miss one tip they learnd me making proper grounding for RF. To use more than one ground via on the path to ground. They act as coils in parallel decresing the inductance even more.
Man, these videos are amazing. Waiting for more! You are honestly the best I have seen in explanations. No fluff, no bs, right to the point and good data.
Great to see the real life measurements to back up the theory!! Was going to ask if you tried multiple vias to lower the inductance even further, but looks like you tried that in part 3
This was great.. thank you! I'm looking forward to the 2 layer board video, as I'm making prototype boards at home that I'm sure will benefit from your best practices.
Thanks for the encouragement! I'll be working on this video the coming week. I'm not 100% sure what gains I am going to make, I'll start measuring today.
Thanks a lot. Electronics is not that hard if you really understand it fundamentally, I hope to show that in my channel :-) Link is in the description. Best regards, Hans
Excellent video, in just a few minutes I've recalled some theory that was in the back of my mind and learned some new things. Would love some more of these in depth video's. So with this said, would you please send me the checklist. 73.
Link is in the description! Solving hum can be a bit nasty sometimes. You may have a loop at the input of your valve amp which is picking up an electromagnetic field from a transformer. You may also lack enough decoupling caps on your main supply and a limited power supply rejection ratio somewhere. Sometimes the ground impedance is too high and you have a ground current running through there between 2 mains transformers. So, can be tricky to find the cause.....
Excellent video. In my early engineering days, I worked extensively to dedi e ground plane design rules, including such matters as ground plane capacitance effect on the sizing of power decoupling caoaciorsr
What an amazing video. I have gone to your site and requested the checklist, and subscribed. I look forward to devouring everything I can from your channel :-).
Excellent and very interesting tutorial. I do mostly digital/sensors/MCU electronics but I find these complex aspects of the PCB layouts fascinating. I would gladly check your checklist. Please send it t me. Thanks!
Very nice introduction to the subject. What a lot of people miss is that while the signals they are dealing with may be below 100MHz, where a substandard layout may "work", it makes it susceptible to picking up interference at much higher frequencies. These are often handled by the circuitry in a non-linear way, creating frequencies within the bandwidth of the signals of interest. As we live in an age of GHz radio links and high-speed digital everywhere, even audio and DC circuitry can benefit from following good high frequency PCB layout techniques. Please send me the checklist!
You're absolutely right. You're one of the few electronics engineers who realizes this. It's a really big problem. Audio sounds a lot worse if you don't design to prevent this sort of thing. I've got a solution for that and I'm going to make a video on the subject somewhere in the coming year. Many electronic equipment needs to pass audio breakthrough tests, you only achieve that with good grounding and good Common Mode filtering. You can get the checklist here: www.hans-rosenberg.com/checklist Best regards, Hans
Great video. One thing I have noticed when dealing with HF filter boards is a bit of symmetry on both sides. Many of the HF 2 layer boards I have seem to have some symmetry on both sides. They have the same amount of copper on each side of the board for ground planes. I think this helps with stray capacitance or inductance. If they do something with one side, they do the same on the opposite side when looking down the length of the board. They also use the full solid ground planes on the bottom as well. And they seem to work well. Look forward for the next video
I think the frequency of this is still too low to be really impacted by symmetry, the wavelength at 1GHz is still quite long and the components have so many parasitics there already that those dominate the performance when using a 4 layer pcb.
I think the symmetry has more to do with some PCB manufacturing processes - depending on the process it can be more difficult for the manufacturer to electroplate the same thickness of copper onto both sides, or etch for the same time without different amounts of undercut, if there is vastly different copper areas on the two sides. More recently I have not seen rules about this, so perhaps changes in manufacturing mean that PCB manufacturers no longer have difficulty with this. In any case with symmetrical copper coverage there is less tendency of the board to bend when it is heated or cooled due to the different thermal expansion coefficient of copper and FR4.
Smashing stuff - and a super concise delivery, thank you! I have a similar experience to you (although not quite so old😅 yet). The jump to four layer boards with two inner ground planes makes a huge difference, I haven't failed at the EMC lab since I made it my default position a few years ago.
Thanks for the link to the checklist in the video description! One of the best video series I have found on YT in a while. Excellent explanation. That was a lot of hard work to put together so succinctly. And maybe I am slightly biased towards your nice accent. 😆 Watched too much @itchyboots .
Hans, excellent presentation. Wish I had started electronics when I was a kid. 74rs old but still keen on learning would appreciate any help regarding pcb repair look forward to you book, many many thanks.
RUclips is just amazing to learn anything. I wish I had that when I was a kid, then I would be a much better electronics engineer now. Internet started a little bit when I was 22 years old :-) Part three is coming within a day :-)
Congrats for the very good explanations backed up by real measurements. Looking forward to your next videos! Spotted one error: in the via impedance measurements the inductance is presented to be in nH. 500nH is quite a lot. Must be pH as shown in the inductance graph.
Ah, darn, I missed another one? It is soo hard to get good personnel these days (even if that's me :-) ). I fixed it in one location with text on the screen, but I missed another one apparently. 500nH would be a really really long via :-) (or a really really thick board)
Agreed! I just always get scared by the 0.8mm boards since they're so flimsy, even small ones bend very easily and I worry about cracking smd components.
@@HansRosenberg74 I was just thinking about this when the board stackup graphic came up: Manufactures always have the 0.8mm core available as a 2-layer board option. But having the components flex off by accident would be a shame. Putting the design on Front and Inner Copper 1 in a 4-Layer PCB for the sexy 0.18 vias you mentioned is definitely the way to go then, thanks for your insight! I subscribed for part 3, knowing the limitations better would be helpful!
Hi please send me the checklist. I like the format. You explain how you think it works, how it actually works, and then the best and worst ways to implement the design.
Thanks, that was the idea. Not just show the thoery, but show it for real, which is a lot harder and a lot more work, but without the link to the real world, you still don't know if the theory really works.... You can get the checklist here: www.hans-rosenberg.com/checklist Best regards, Hans
Thank you for putting this together! Very helpful to see how layout decisions affect performance. I asked for your book in a comment on your previous video, so I won't say "Send me the checklist" in this comment. :-)

Hey Hans, many thanks, great content. I would be pleased to receive your Check list. 😊 Keep on, u do the amazing insides, I never received or where able to established at work.
This is a really good video, learned a lot in 11 minutes. There are several good video's about digital design by Bogatin et all. But I really like the analog filter example. Thanks
Excellent video! The filter was a great example subject! I always wondered why I never could get more than about 40db rejection in some of my filters! I was questioning if peppering the ground with vias makes any difference and will wait till your next video to get the answer! Do you have microwave instrumentation? I have had no significant problems until I went above about 400MHZ. The 2.5GHZ stuff is still magic to me. Be sure to cover the effects of pcb material!
Great Video Hans! I am very interested in optimizing 2-layer boards as I like to 'roll-my-own-at-home!' So, I would very much to have you Send me the Checklist Hans. One of the things I want to try is to make a RF board like the TH board with the GP on top; only now with SMD to see how much better getting away from component leads. Anyway, thanks for all you're doing and I think you will have a great channel with many subscribers... 73!
Very interesting ! Thank you ! I hope you will continue to make videos. What do you use for your measurements (spectrum analyser/software) ? "I will be posting a video in the future how to reflow SMD boards at home or in a small workshop with very cheap tools." I hope it will be soon 😁
Wow! This is a promising channel! Subscribed! I already like the path you're on and am very much looking forward to coming episodes. If I may ask, when it fits your episode plan I would love to learn about distributed element filter design. I kind of get the gist of how they work, but have no clue how to incorporate them into my own designs.
I've never made a filter like that. I've made a bunch of multiple GHz couplers, baluns etc a long time ago. You would design such a filter in an RF/ EM simulator, and if you want good performance (low loss) you'd need a rogers dielectric for your pcb, which is more expensive. The good thing is: If you get it to work in the RF simulator (2.5 or 3D) then it will work perfectly in real life as well.
Once you have the design, incorporating it is just a matter of putting it on the board. Just make sure there is no other metal parts right above the filter structure like loose wires or something.
Great video Hans. When is Part 3 out? As a very-much part-time "hacker" for many years - who has never progressed from proto boards and wiring - I'm just starting to get interested in designing some PCBs to order online and all this is basically new to me. Your explanations are crystal clear. Well done, and thanks!
Thanks a lot. I use eagle, but that is going to be phased out soon and will become fusion 360 by autocad. I have a subscription till 2025, I don't know what I'll do after that......

Hi please send me the checklist. I like the format. You explain how you think it works, how it actually works, and then the best and worst ways to implement the design.
Thanks, that was the idea. Not just show the thoery, but show it for real, which is a lot harder and a lot more work, but without the link to the real world, you still don't know if the theory really works....

Please always works :-) The link is in the description. Best regards, Hans
Thank you for putting this together! Very helpful to see how layout decisions affect performance.
I asked for your book in a comment on your previous video, so I won't say "Send me the checklist" in this comment. :-)

Let me know if it works, you're the first one to test this download on my new website :-). I'm new to all of this stuff, it's a little different from developing circuits and boards :-)
@@HansRosenberg74 I've downloaded it successfully from your website! - looks good
Thank you for the video. It would be really nice to see the checklist.

@@HansRosenberg74 held!
This is a really good video, learned a lot in 11 minutes. There are several good video's about digital design by Bogatin et all. But I really like the analog filter example. Thanks
you're welcome
Thanks a lot ❤
You're welcome 😊
Excellent video! The filter was a great example subject! I always wondered why I never could get more than about 40db rejection in some of my filters! I was questioning if peppering the ground with vias makes any difference and will wait till your next video to get the answer! Do you have microwave instrumentation? I have had no significant problems until I went above about 400MHZ. The 2.5GHZ stuff is still magic to me. Be sure to cover the effects of pcb material!
Thanks for the nice comments! I'll do my best to explain as much as possible in the next video.
Great video!! Looking forward for the next one.
Please send the checklist.
You're welcome, next video will be up within a day!

Send me the checklist, thanks! Awesome information in your series on PCB design
Thanks a lot, links are in the description (working on my domain, so check out both, one of them will certainly work), best regards, Hans
Great Video Hans! I am very interested in optimizing 2-layer boards as I like to 'roll-my-own-at-home!'
So, I would very much to have you Send me the Checklist Hans.
One of the things I want to try is to make a RF board like the TH board with the GP on top; only now with SMD to see how much better getting away from component leads.
Anyway, thanks for all you're doing and I think you will have a great channel with many subscribers... 73!

Very interesting ! Thank you ! I hope you will continue to make videos.
What do you use for your measurements (spectrum analyser/software) ?
"I will be posting a video in the future how to reflow SMD boards at home or in a small workshop with very cheap tools."
I hope it will be soon 😁
I've got so much material I don't know where to start. And, I 'have' to go on vacation for 3 weeks :-)
I use a nanovna with python code to read it
@@HansRosenberg74 Enjoy your vacation !

Wow! This is a promising channel! Subscribed! I already like the path you're on and am very much looking forward to coming episodes. If I may ask, when it fits your episode plan I would love to learn about distributed element filter design. I kind of get the gist of how they work, but have no clue how to incorporate them into my own designs.
I've never made a filter like that. I've made a bunch of multiple GHz couplers, baluns etc a long time ago. You would design such a filter in an RF/ EM simulator, and if you want good performance (low loss) you'd need a rogers dielectric for your pcb, which is more expensive. The good thing is: If you get it to work in the RF simulator (2.5 or 3D) then it will work perfectly in real life as well.
Once you have the design, incorporating it is just a matter of putting it on the board. Just make sure there is no other metal parts right above the filter structure like loose wires or something.
Great video Hans. When is Part 3 out? As a very-much part-time "hacker" for many years - who has never progressed from proto boards and wiring - I'm just starting to get interested in designing some PCBs to order online and all this is basically new to me. Your explanations are crystal clear. Well done, and thanks!
Thanks a lot: I just posted it! :-)

Thank you Hans ! 👍
you're welcome!
Hans, you a great teacher. Could you tell us what software you use to do your PCB's?
Keep up the good work, it's appreciated.
Thanks a lot. I use eagle, but that is going to be phased out soon and will become fusion 360 by autocad. I have a subscription till 2025, I don't know what I'll do after that......
Send me the checklist!
I'm not gonna make any PCB anytime soon but it's still good to stay educated. Where can we buy it? Available in all the countries?
Great information! Please send me the checklist. Thank you!

Fantastic short and to the point video :-) Very nice video - Hans. Please send me the checklist, as I am very curios to how you have assembled your knowledge through the 42 years of experience :-) And keep those cool videos coming, when you have the time for it.
Thanks a lot. I've been thinking about making an 'about' video about that question: How did I get my knowledge, I'm not sure if that is what people are waiting for but since you asked, maybe there is an interest for it. I'm planning to make 'viewer request' videos with measurements, this could be one of them :-)
