What board can be used as foundation for building a power electronic converter?

The power electronic converter is for high power application. I am going to design it for a new project. Any useful advice?

You need to take power dissipation into consideration.
You must also calculate the current rating through the circuit and design the PCB track width accordingly.
The quality of the PCB material should also be considered. Low-quality PCBs would get damaged easily due to the heavy current carried by the track.
Apart from these things you should also take care of all safety features so that the circuit does not get shorted at any point if time during Power On time.

I guess Glass Epoxy PCBs give a better result than copper-clad PCBs.

Does anyone have any experience using zero-ohm resistors in an RF signal path to select antennas?

I’ve typically used RF switches for this purpose, but that’s also when it was necessary to allow the antenna selection to be changed “in the field”. But for cases where the antenna selection is a manufacture-time option, I’m considering simple zero-ohm resistors.

At what frequency do PCB traces start to act as antennas?

Just interested in PCB design. I am wondering whether PCB traces start to act as antennas at some frequency. Anybody knows?

CEM3 or FR4 PCB, which is the lightest material?

There is nothing about weight in the substrate datasheets I found.
Between CEM-3 or FR4, which is the lightest material ? What is the average weight by surface for CEM-3 boards ?
