Designing an RF PCB for 5G devices requires a deep understanding of antenna integration, high-frequency signal handling, precise impedance matching, and effective noise mitigation. Selecting the right antenna is crucial, as it significantly influences the device’s overall performance. In this article, you will learn essential RF PCB design guidelines for 5G boards and strategies for effective antenna integration in radio-frequency circuit boards. Highlights: To design RF boards for 5G and IoT applications: Place the antennas at a distance from each other, pointing in opposite directions. Prefer ceramic substrates for compact designs, which are ideal for high-frequency precision. Route high-speed RF…
