Rev 1 Change List


PlanStatusImplementation
Separate Slices into individual KiCad projects
  • Make 1 Tx project and 1 Rx project


Add DC blocking caps
  • before and after all amplifiers and variable attenuators
  • between baluns and RF connectors towards ADC/DAC
  • 0402 100pF caps (same as currently in schematic) - Victoria June Moore 

  • Prototyped on 3G Rx and 3G Tx

Rebalance attenuation depending on layout space





Change filter to universal footprint





Scratchpad of Ideas

  • sim transitions
  • Buried RF
  • Tighter cavities
  • Channels on top and bottom
  • Consider switching connectors to allow slices to extend both directions over the interposer
  • Consider a longer interposer
  • Cable compatibility?
  • Is the balun DC blocking?
    • no slightly smiling face 
  • DC RF variant
  • resistor population options to allow HDIOs to be routed to an edge connector on the interposer
  • Assembly variant - daughtercard filters to standardize the slices
  • ZCU216 compatibility
