PCB layout of the ADL5801 RF mixer
I show the process of designing a RF PCB for ADL5801 in Altium Designer. The mixer is part of a multi-channel RF front-end.
Every time i learn something new, i would immediately want to show my readers what i learned. I do it in the form of tutorials. This might include video tutorials as well.

Hey there, fellow electronics enthusiasts! If you’ve ever tinkered with the signal generation, you’ve likely come across the AD9833 waveform generator chip. But did you know that this little gem can do so much...
Primarily, there is plenty of support to operate Vitis HLS and OpenCV on the Linux environment. This is mainly because of the ease of use on Linux. On Windows operating system, however, the story...
In an article I wrote long time ago, I measured the noise figure of an amplifier using only a spectrum analyzer. The method I used was relatively simple but it took some mathematical understanding...
In part 1 of the article series, We learnt how to set up our design for performing signal integrity analysis using Altium’s in-built Signal Integrity tool. The process turned out to be quite simple...
Our designs are becoming faster to serve our ever-growing demands from machines. Speed brings more complexity to the design. The usual slow transitions from 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 become so fast...
A 23cm hairpin filter operates around the 1.296GHz amateur radio band. The frequency being low enough allows us to fabricate it on a low cost FR4 substrate. It operates as a bandpass filter. There...
In this quick article, I show step by step process of drawing a boost converter schematic and finally ending up with a PCB layout. All of it done on Altium designer using Altium’s own...
The Analog devices PlutoSDR comes with the AD9361 chip. Meant for learning, the PlutoSDR comes at a much more affordable cost as compared to the USRP. Of course, the USRP has its own advantages...
The well-known RTL-SDR found itself to become quite popular over the past few years. Even today, RTL-SDR works like a gateway to the world of digital radios. The open-source RTL-SDR setup works with almost...
