Quazyx: Laser Warfare System Team 4 Mike Niksa, David Freidin Emily Blount, Ben Moeller
RF Layout Considerations • No traces directly under the transceiver • There are small exposed traces on the underside • Need a ground plane opposite the transceiver and antenna • Should be as large as possible • Acts as second pole for the antenna
Microcontroller Layout Considerations • Should be centrally placed for best access to other components • Needs five pins sent out to a header for in circuit programming
Power Supply Layout Considerations • Power traces for all components should meet in as few places as possible • If there’s space, have ground planes under all chips to reduce noise • Any ground pin near a ground plane should be connected with a via
