Fig.5 Printed circuit board and component layout for 900 MHz class-B test circuit.
Note:
The circuit and the components are on one side of the PTFE fibreglass board; the other side is un-etched copper serving
as groundplane. Earth connections are made by hollow rivets and also by fixing-screws and copper straps around the
board and under the emitters to provide a direct contact between the copper on the component side and the groundplane.
