1. Sheet material selection:
Never use ordinary FR-4. High-frequency dedicated boards with low loss and stable dielectric constant (such as Rogers RO4350B, RT/duroid series) must be selected. This is the cornerstone of performance.
Impedance and transmission lines:
Precise 50Ω impedance control is essential. Use microstrip lines, striplines or coplanar waveguides and determine the precise line width through calculation/simulation. When laying out, minimize the paths and avoid right angles.
Strictly control the tolerance of line width and medium thickness to ensure signal integrity across the board.
ENIG gold plating is preferred to ensure flatness and high-frequency conductivity across all contact surfaces.
The solder mask layer may affect the impedance, and "window opening" treatment is often adopted for RF traces.
