Questions

How big is the Transmitter PCB?

It measures 61.3 × 53.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Transmitter use?

99 parts, built around the MAX2870ETJ+ and MAX8559ETAAA+T. 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 Transmitter KiCad files?

From the manisonik/embedded_projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad Projects/transmitter/transmitter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Transmitter design in my own project?

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