Do you recognize the difficulty to make a proper PCB layout so you get the most out of your SMA connector? A good SMA connector does not mean that you do not face any reflections in the transport in HF signals. There are a lot of factors you need to take care of to get the most of the connector. In this session we want to give more insight which parameters can make it that the losses/reflection are low or high. We are going more in depth into the PCB layout. And what would be impact of (small) changes on your signal integrity. WE set-up some different layout with the outcome of the changes with S11 and S21 parameters.

The LoRaWAN protocol is a Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol designed to wirelessly connect battery powered IoT devices to the internet. LoRaWAN targets key Internet of Things (IoT) requirements such as bi-directional communication, Long Range coverage, end-to-end security, and Low power consumption.

LoRaWAN networks are typically laid out in a star topology in which gateways collects the data from nodes and transmits this data to central Network Server (IoT platform).

LoRaWAN IoT devices operates in ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) licence free frequency band. LoRaWAN is flexible for rural or indoor use cases in smart agriculture, smart cities, industrial IoT (IIoT), smart environment, smart homes and buildings, smart utilities and metering, and smart supply chain and logistics.

REDEXPERT Filter Designer is suited for input filters for DC-DC converters, AC-DC converters, but also output filters. The tool is very useful to design a differential mode input filter or specific noise filter without going into complex filter calculation. Instead of using trial-and-error for determining the components needed to create the filter, the REDEXPERT EMI Filter Designer does all the calculations based on a few input parameters. It uses the non-ideal component models, which includes the parasitics, to determine the performance of the filter and also takes into account system impedances. Using the correct input parameters, as described, the tool can reduce the process of making a design EMC compliant in time and cost.
