My name is Berkay Gündoğdu, and I am a final-year Electrical and Electronics Engineering student. As part of my graduation project, I am working on establishing a microwave laboratory setup, which includes designing experiments and preparing instructional materials for educational use.
So far, I have completed the simulation phase of the project using HFSS and created user guides for both HFSS and NanoVNA. I have also designed five different experiments. However, to validate these simulations in a real laboratory environment, I need physical implementations of various microwave circuits.
Initially, I intended to design the PCBs for these circuits myself, but I quickly realized that the process is quite time-consuming and resource-intensive. While researching similar work, I came across your blog and found your projects highly relevant and impressive. Given your experience, I thought you might already have ready-to-use PCB designs that could match the circuits I need.
Here is a list of the circuits I am looking for:
These circuits only need to operate within the 1 GHz – 8 GHz frequency range to be compatible with NanoVNA-based measurements. Specific bandwidth or operation points are not critical — the main objective is to provide an educational platform for hands-on microwave circuit measurement.
If you happen to have Gerber files or any ready PCB designs for any of these circuits and are willing to share them, it would truly make a meaningful difference in the progress and quality of my project. I would be extremely grateful for any support you can offer.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,

Here is a list of the circuits I am looking for:
- Resistive Power Divider
- Wilkinson Power Divider
- Lossless Power Divider
- Directional Coupler
- 180° Hybrid Coupler
- 90° Hybrid Coupler
- Gap-Coupled Resonator
- Circulator
- Bandpass Filter (Richard’s Transformation)
- Bandpass Filter (Stepped Impedance)
- One-Transistor Amplifier (including input/output matching)
