    Sub-1GHz chip antenna design guide

    Hello, I want to add in my design a chip (ceramic) antenna in Sub-1GHz, for the TI's CC1310. Johanson technology offers for this chip a simple solution. https://www.johansontechnology.com/datasheets/antennas/0900AT43A0070.pdf I can't understand, what is the trace element for?

    QFN with exposed pad stencil opening

    So there's not me who see that the exposed pad has too little solder paste in contrast to the others package's pads. Eventually I figured out that there was not good idea to tent the vias, but how can we prevent the solder flowing through the vias if these aren't tented? How could I do that in...

    QFN with exposed pad stencil opening

    There are 9 vias on the exposed pad, tented with squared solder paste.

    QFN with exposed pad stencil opening

    I read once that the solder paste must be placed carefully in a way that it does not flow through the vias. And I thought that if I placed solder mask on the vias it would stop the solder flowing. But unfortunately I follow the same thought on the stencil as well. In a prompt search on the...

    QFN with exposed pad stencil opening

    I made a pcb with a QFN32 with exposed pad but I feel like I've made a mistake on the stencil, in the exposed pad area. I managed to solder it and the chip (CC1310) is programmed successfully but I'm still concerned about the stencil. The solder paste looks like a chess on the exposed pad and I...

    Altium designer Polygon pours problem

    Hello, I've been designing a pcb with an RF chip. There's a few polygon pours around the board and I want to place another one, a whole Ground, over the whole board to fill the rest gaps. I set the polygon's order to lowest, because it's over the rest polygons and everything looks good. Gaps are...

    CC1310 sub-1Ghz breakout board

    This is a simple breakout board based on TI's CC1310. It's a single chip cost-effective and ultra-low power solution of sub-1GHz and intended for IoT applications such as buildings automations and robust data broadcasting. Incorporating a powerfull ARM Cortex-M3 up to 48MHz, a complete RF...
