Questions

How big is the Polarizing coil driver PCB?

It measures 68 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Polarizing coil driver use?

39 parts, built around the BSS84, PMEG045T150EIPD and SIR638ADP-T1-RE3. 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 Polarizing coil driver KiCad files?

From the marekpechal/projects-efnmr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/polarizing_coil_driver/_ordered_241110/polarizing_coil_driver.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/amplifier_board/EFNMR_transmit_amp_board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Polarizing coil driver design in my own project?

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