RF and GPS Antenna Layout
Scope of Work:
Services Provided:
| • |
Placement to accommodate a GPS antenna and 2.4 GHz RF antenna |
| • |
Create an RF antenna in etch |
| • |
Controlled Impedance design and stack-up creation |
| • |
Isolate RF and GPS circuits from noisy digital circuitry |
Working closely with our customer, we laid out a successful prototype GPS antenna with a RF Transceiver board that will go directly into production, without modification. This highly sensitive layout required the skills of an RF layout with the experience of HDI. With a Micro BGA with laser via-in-pad and 2.4 GHz PCB antenna designed in etch on the top side, this board had plenty of layout challenges to overcome.
