ADF7021 Module

Per a discussion with SP5WWP, it would be advantageous to the M17 project to have a breakout board that can be uesd to prototype with the AD7021 module. While Analog provides a reasonably priced development module, it is difficult to modify, and doesn't integrate well into other projects.

Given this, the module should be...

  • Hackable
    • Easy to use as a standalone board (ie: 0.1" headers)
    • Assemble with hobbyist level equipment
    • Financially accessable, limit difficult to source parts
  • Modular
    • Minimize commitments like filter topology / amplifier output
      • Can use as TX, RX, or TX/RX (two SMA conns)
    • Optional footprints to allow for various configurations
  • Designed to integrate into later projects
    • RF shileding footprint
    • Mounting holes, pluggable connectors, etc
  • Not designed for the TR-9
    • Suspect TR-9 needs tighter integration
    • Would be nice, but requirements seem to conflict

Questions

How big is the Adf7021 module PCB?

It measures 62.5 × 28 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Adf7021 module use?

76 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 Adf7021 module KiCad files?

From the tkuester/adf7021_module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is adf7021_module.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Adf7021 module design in my own project?

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