    is it possible to enlarge the Gerber file in CAM350 ??

    the '+' key in the num pad to zoom in and '-' key zoom out.

    Issue in importing netlist in PADS

    Sounds like your library is missing decal/parts. Any part that is in your nets list needs to exist in the library.

    Gerber files are shown to me (ADS) as aligned but they are not received as aligned

    They are aligned so no need to offset them. I would, however, put the board outline (a thin line showing the boarder of the board) on all layers so the fab house can use it to align files if they need to.

    Hard to find RF part help

    https://www.anaren.com/sites/default/files/XC0900A-05%20Data%20Sheet%20Rev%20D.pdf Xinger II from Anaren will do the same thing. They are pretty good about responding and giving out samples. pin to pin comparable as well.

    Recommendations for a (quiet, cheap) 2.3 GHz VCO?

    https://www.hittite.com/products/view.html/view/HMC385LP4 Similar spec, much smaller and about 1/3 of the price.

    IP3 measurement setup

    The pads are used to build up the isolation between the 2 sig gens. The goal is to have a cleanest combined sig ( 2 tones) with no IP3 product. However, having too much pad will force the sig gen to work harder to compensate for the pads -> more harmonics. I use isolators whenever I can instead...

    Is there anyother circuit can replace BUCK circuit?

    Use Charge Pump converters. http://parametric.linear.com/html/inductorless_(charge_pump)_dc%7Cdc_converters

    can i safely replace 5pf 6kv capacitor with 10pf 6kv on LCD Inverter Board?

    10pF sounds a reasonable to me. If you are really concerned/worried, just put two 10pF caps in series to make 5pF.

    pcb green coating at home

    It is called "solder mask" and the main purpose is to keep solder where they belong during SMT reflow process. Without solder mask, the solder will spread and flow away all over the copper and either create shorts or open solder joints (insufficient solder) during the SMT reflow process. The...

    how to delete legends in gerber

    I use CAM350. However you can just email the fab house who is making the PCBs for you and let them know which legends you want deleted. Most fab house will do this at no cost.

    How to create Castellated SMT pads using Altium Designer

    Just place full vias so the board outline goes thru the center of the vias. No need for any extra note for the fab house. They will fabricate the PCB exactly the way you design (what they see on the gerbers) - place the vias and route them so only half of vias are left.

    Why Photocoupler break down???Help me..

    A couple of things I see here: 1) L3 will generate back EMF which will fry U15. 2) C40, C29 C39 and C30 are grounded at different potential - not referenced to U15 = ground loop If you are concerned about noise getting into P9, I would reverse the logic on the MCU and keep only R24, C36, P9...
