TIDA-01021: transmission lines without mask

vic zap

Part Number: TIDA-01021
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMX2594,

Hi!

Can you tell me, please, why didn't you cover transmission lines in the TIDA-01021 (those, which are connected with LMX2594) with mask?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards, Vic.

By the way, it was impossible to select another forum, only this one.

Vic, my sincere apologies and thanks for following up. The initial forward to the Test and Measurement team did not happen. I have ensure that the transmission successfully happened today. As the team is in India, please give a day response time.

Hi Vic.,

In TIDA-01021 board, LMX2594 output signals can go higher up to 15GHz and to improve the insertion loss & return loss at high frequencies, mask was removed on the high frequency traces from LMX2594.

One can have mask on these traces / transmission lines as recommended by the Fab vendor to minimize the insertion loss at operating frequencies.

Hope it answer your above query.

Thanks!
