Hello there
Can anyone give me some advice or perhaps direct me to the literature. I recently designed a UHF receiver that doesnt work. The problem I believe is both parasitic capacitance to ground and inductance to ground issues. I have been able to import the design into momentum and pretty much redesign everything to get the board working. I would like to know what pcb substrate materials and thicknesses are recommended for particular frequencies. My design was on 1.6mm FR4 pcb. At 450MHz would this pcb material and thickness be appropriate?
Thankyou.
