One of the key design features that helps with driving down cost is working with a commercial four-layer FR4 stackup. These have become ubiquitous and cheap to use, so one supplier (JLCPCB from China) was chosen and their PCB process characterized for RF performance. Two dedicated RF test coupons were designed: Based on the results of long simulations, | One of the key design features that helps with driving down cost is working with a commercial four-layer FR4 stackup.

Before going into continuous operation at DB0HDF, the transmitter hard- and software were extensively tested on the lab workbench. The output power, phase noise and spurious performance was first evaluated, with a particular emphasis on varying input voltage conditions. Long supply wires could possibly cause regulator instabilities in final installations, | Before going into continuous operation at DB0HDF, the transmitter hard- and software were extensively tested on the lab workbench.
