README
README.mdThis repository contains two PCB design projects focusing on both low-speed and high-speed circuit design.
The low-speed PCB is an AC to DC converter designed using KiCad. It uses a full-wave bridge rectifier with 1N4007 diodes to convert AC input into DC output. A capacitor is used to smooth the output voltage, and an LED is included to indicate the presence of DC output. This design demonstrates basic power supply concepts and PCB layout practices for low-frequency applications.
The high-speed PCB is a quadrature hybrid coupler designed using ANSYS HFSS. It operates at RF frequencies and is implemented using microstrip transmission lines. The circuit splits an input signal into two outputs with equal power and a 90-degree phase difference, while maintaining impedance matching. This design highlights key RF concepts such as S-parameters, impedance control, and high-frequency layout considerations.
Both projects were designed, simulated, and analyzed using industry-relevant tools to understand practical PCB design workflows.

Questions
How big is the ACtoDC PCB?
It measures 42 × 31 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ACtoDC use?
10 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the ACtoDC KiCad files?
From the AadarshM07/PCB-designs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ACtoDC/ACtoDC/ACtoDC.kicad_pcb and its schematic ACtoDC/ACtoDC/ACtoDC.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ACtoDC design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask AadarshM07 before reusing the design.
