Q&A Design considerations for a synchronous DC/DC converter

First, let's clarify something: replacing a diode with a MOSFET switch I have never seen the diode actually replaced. The intent is to have the FET on only when the diode would conduct, but no s...

Q&A Is there a way to reliably measure antenna return loss outside a lab?

It sounds like you are doing the measurements right. However, I expect the problem is in the space around the antenna. At 434 MHz, the wavelength is 690 mm or 27 inches. Everything out to about ...

Q&A Why are antenna PCB traces square instead of rounded?

Corners and chambers that are a small fraction of a wavelength are not significant in the <4Ghz band. More significant is the tolerance and loss tangent on the substrate. They would hardly be m...
