Dale's presentation will center around the relationship between application,
design rules and proper material selection. Tyco San Diego also has a
written RF PCB design guide and attendees will be provided their own copy for
real take
home value!

We would like the evening to be as interactive as possible.  While Tyco will
supply design guides and a variety of samples--such as antenna elements, patch
antennas, etc, members/attendees are encouraged to bring sketches, drawings ,
etc. to discuss real life situations.
