Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts. ffoss Post subject: RF effects of Solder Mask Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 3:18 pm Lieutenant Joined: Thu Feb 08, 2007 3:13 pm Posts: 2 Location: Englewood, CO. What effect does solder mask have at 2.4GHz? (It's on a 1W PA) _________________ ffoss Top IR Post subject: Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 4:06 pm Site Admin Joined: Mon Jun 27, 2005 2:02 pm Posts: 373 Location: Germany Solder mask over a transmission line will increase the insertion loss. At 2.4GHz the degradation would be still small. As higher the frequency is as worse the impact of the solder mask will be. At 2.4GHz no need to worry too much!!

Do you expect any problems with Amplifier (1W) feedback degrading the signal? Input level +5dbm, 25db gain. _________________ ffoss Top IR Post subject: Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2007 3:36 pm Site Admin Joined: Mon Jun 27, 2005 2:02 pm Posts: 373 Location: Germany I don't expect that you will have any problem. In general, solder mask effects are due on the frequency of the signal and not due to the power level. If your circuit would work in 5GHz then you would definitely have problems.
