Questions

How big is the Swg test PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Swg test use?

23 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 Swg test KiCad files?

From the greatscottgadgets/lab-notes repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rf-testing/2023-05-16-swg-test-board/swg_test_kicad/swg_test.kicad_pcb and its schematic rf-testing/2023-05-16-swg-test-board/swg_test_kicad/swg_test.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Swg test design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask greatscottgadgets before reusing the design.
