Abstract:
A tightly-coupled printed circuit board (PCB) circuit includes components mounted on a PCB enabling smaller integrations using decoupled lines extending between reference layers, such as ground planes, form isolation islands on the PCB. The decouplers are capacitors, inductors and/or resistors in tandem with ground layers of the PCB. The isolated components can comprise high-frequency RF antennas and receivers, for example in a GNSS antenna-receiver circuit. Multiple antennas can be connected to one for more receivers with multiple, independent RF front end components by RF traces, which are either embedded within the PCB between the ground planes, or by surface microstrip antenna traces.
