Bjt amp
About the Bjt amp PCB
Bjt amp is an open source PCB design by Halogenek, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 20 × 20 mm, with 26 components from 16 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 6 capacitors, 3 connectors, 2 inductors and 1 transistor.
From the project
Cheap and simple setup for learning RF electronics
I came across an awesome system for rapid prototyping RF and Microwave solutions by connecting individual components on small PCBs, just like LEGO. This Modular building block system for RF and microwave design of prototypes is in my opinion a very clever way of building RF circuits. On their website the sell almost every available modern RF IC or passive network in a form of a rectangle PCBs.
