VCO Design
About the VCO Design PCB
VCO Design is an open source PCB design by fdreshaj, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 19.1 × 23.3 mm, with 25 components from 14 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 10 capacitors, 5 inductors, 4 resistors, 3 connectors, 2 diodes and 1 transistor.
From the project
Design of a VNA
The Subsystems and Simulations folder contains all files related to the research and pre fabrication testing/simulations of subsystems
VNAProject folder contains all KiCad files of the board itself. Specifically open VNAProject.kicad_pro to check out the design. KiCad files do not have RF subsystem layout as that will be done in ADS during testing.

VCO Design: common questions
How big is the VCO Design PCB?
The VCO Design measures 19.1 × 23.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the VCO Design?
25 components, from 14 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the VCO Design design files?
From the fdreshaj/VNA_Design repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the VCO Design design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with fdreshaj. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
