a simple question about Proximity-coupled Patch Antenna - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi, everyone, Happy New Year.

I have a simple question about Proximity-coupled Patch Antenna. I have done some simulations in IE3D with two-layer substrates. I am wondering about the fabrication:

1. What kind of file do I need to send to PCB house? I am wondering can I just send the Gerber file without PCB drawing software?

2. Can the PCB house make this kind of Antenna board, how much does it usually cost?

As a PCB Manufacturer, I perfer ODB++ or Gerber 274-X. The ODB++ format is optimum because there is no guessing on my part for the buildup of the board. Extended Gerber or 274-X is the next perfered, that has all apperatures embedded in the files. Also just ask the company you want to use and also look at their web site, they usually have the requested format listed somewhere.

Hopefully this helps.

Regards,
Procyon PCB
