For one off and experimentation, ugly style on a solid ground plane works quite well. I have built a number of receivers in this style. There are kits available of self-adhesive bits of PCB that you can stick onto the ground plane to create islands or to mount delicate parts. You can get away without these -- e.g. by the judicious use of an xacto knife -- but they certainly are handy. Of particular relevance to the quoted text, you can get strips of PCB for 50Z, 75Z, etc transmission lines -- we have these in our labstock. (Sorry, I forget the brand name.) -ch _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
