Product Specification
Evaluation Kit
Figure 21. Evaluation Board Layouts
The SP4T switch EK Board was designed to ease
customer evaluation of Peregrine’s PE42540. The
RF common port is connected through a 50Ω
transmission line via the top SMA connector, J1.
RF1, RF2, RF3 and RF4 are connected through
50Ω transmission lines via SMA connectors J2, J4,
J3 and J5, respectively. A through 50Ω transmission
is available via SMA connectors J6 and J7. This
transmission line can be used to estimate the loss of
the PCB over the environmental conditions being
evaluated.
The board is constructed of a four metal layer
material with a total thickness of 62 mils. The dual
clad top RF layer is Rogers RO4003 material with
an 8 mil RF core and er = 3.55. The middle layers
provide ground for the transmission lines. The
transmission lines were designed using a coplanar
waveguide with ground plane model using a trace
width of 15 mils, trace gaps of 10 mils, and metal
thickness of 2.1 mils.
