# Regular Meeting (2022.8.8)

* Zybo-z7
* CDCFE Fanout Baord
* Discussing cable(Measurement) solution between Fanout <-> FE

## 1 Zybo-Z7

Assemble initramfs

## 2 CDCFE Fanout Baord

### 2.1 From \[4 Layers\] -> 2 \[Layers\] (Reason: Cost)

|JetPCB, 2L/4L|欣興/2L|欣興/4L|
|-|-|-|
||||

* Either JetPCB or 欣興, the price gap between 2L and 4L is too big
(but price gap between 4L/6L is normal)

### 2.2 [Spec.](http://tw.jetpcb.com/rule/capability.aspx) of PCM Manufactor(JetPCB)

* Finished layout
* Smoothing edge of ground panel
* 
* Also tried to place compoment on 1:1 sheet
* 
* 

### 2.3 Cable's solution from Fanout-Board to OSC/CDCFE-Portotype

* Note:
* SMA-Plug: male
* SMA-Jack: female
* We [present U.FL-SMA(Jack)\*2](https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/coaxial-cable/7942894): price = 10 GBP
*
#### Sol1. \<Recommend\>

* Well noise attenuated(Double Shielding)
* Diameter(1.32)
* Length: 10cm
* Price(digikey/NTD):
* [SMA-Plug/SMA-Plug](https://tinyurl.com/5ebna78e): 28\*10 = 280 (5~10 DT)
* [U.Fl to SMA-Jack](https://tinyurl.com/3nmp5tmp): 270\*2\*10 = 5400
* Total = 6000
#### Sol2.

* Single Shield
* Higher Diameter(1.37)
* Length: 20cm (Longer cable(may) damage quality of signal because of thin cable)
* Price(Mouser/NTD):
* [U.Fl to SMA-Plug](https://tinyurl.com/285twp9e): 354\*10 = 2840
* [U.Fl to SMA-Jack](https://tinyurl.com/2cb4zzm9): 284\*10 = 3540
* Total = 6380

#### Sol3. <Dr.Hsu recommend>

* Diameter(1.32)
* Double Shielding
* Length: 5 cm
* Using **probe** to measure
* Distortion of probe
* **Lifetime** of U.FL **~30 times**, *Sol1* or *Sol2* should avoid this problem
* Price(Mouser/NTD):
* [U.Fl to U.FL](https://tinyurl.com/sr64xvt7): 177\*8
* Lowest cost

### 2.4 RG-58/RG-316/RG-400(Replaces RG142 now)

* Bentenz's experiment

| RG-58 | RG-400 |
| --- |--- |
|  |  |

* Price:
