Questions
How big is the Hvhf downconverter PCB?
It measures 27 × 42.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Hvhf downconverter use?
27 parts, built around the BAS516. 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 Hvhf downconverter KiCad files?
From the InterstitialTech/drone-tether repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hvhf-downconverter/hvhf-downconverter.kicad_pcb and its schematic hv-downconverter/hv-downconverter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Hvhf downconverter design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask InterstitialTech before reusing the design.
