Does a simple wire antenna need a 50 ohm transmission line?

Designing wiring for automotive which will be equipped with antenna. Is it proper to use 50 ohm transmission line in this case?

It depends.

  • If you’re talking about a “long wire” (more typically/accurately, een random wire antenna) used for receiving only, then the line impedance isn’t at all an issue. As long as it’s properly insulated at the right spots, you can run the wire right up to the receiver input and get excellent results. Using a 50 ohm line (which would almost certainly be some type of coax) here would generally be mostly for convenience, because the receiver has an input connector best used with a coaxial cable (bijv., a BNC or SO-239).
  • If we’re talking about an antenna to be used for transmitting, hoewel, the answer becomes more complicated. There are two primary concerns when connecting a transmitter to its antenna:
    1. Getting the most power transferred to the antenna and actually radiated.
    2. Protecting the transmitter’s output stages from the effects of high SWR.

Available choices of feedlines range from the typical coax cables at 50–75 ohms through “ladder lines” than can have characteristic impedances in the hundreds of ohms.

How do you hold SMD part in place while soldering?

I go through this every time I have PCBs I need to populate with SMD parts, and this has become more an issue as pin spacings have gotten tighter, and my hands have become less steady with age. How do you hold SMD part in place while soldering?

How can I determine BGA land pad diameter for given ball diameter?

I’m working on a project which requires the use of a CSP package. The product’s datasheet provides ball pitch and ball diameter but nothing about the preferred land pad diameter.
How can the pad diameter be worked out from these figures assuming an NSMD land?
