Hi guys,
With your experience in RF design, what is the best method that you can think of to make the development of RF design faster?
FYI , the RF circuit I want to build consists of ADC, mixer, bandpass filter, oscillator, PLL and etc.
1) Is there any development board available?
2) Using ADS simulate all the circuits block then straightaway fabricate a complete PCB ?
3) Or design the circuits part by part , and fabricate the circuits part by part, in the end only combine?
3) Eventhough final product requires SMD, but when prototyping, it is better to use throughhole resistor/cap first or straightaway use SMD resistors/caps?
4) For home-based development, how do you all ensure that you have
all the resistance/capacitance/inductance values that you need when prototyping?
When need the value, then only buy?
Or buy a very wide range of values, and can straightaway use when needed?
