Evaluation Board
Figure 27. Evaluation Board Layout
The SPDT switch evaluation board was designed to
ease customer evaluation of Peregrine’s PE42422.
The RF common port is connected through a 50Ω
transmission line via the top SMA connector, J2.
RF1 and RF2 ports are connected through 50Ω
transmission lines via SMA connectors J1 and J3,
respectively. A through 50Ω transmission is
available via SMA connectors J4 and J5. This
transmission line can be used to estimate the loss
of the PCB over the environmental conditions being
evaluated. J8 provides DC and digital inputs to the
device.
The board is constructed of a four metal layer
material with a total thickness of 62 mils. The top
and bottom RF layers are Rogers RO4350 material
with a 10 mil RF core. 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
22 mils, trace gaps of 7 mils, and metal thickness of
2.1 mils.
