AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a solution for a GPS module footprint mistakenly placed on their main PCB, which is affected by EMI from nearby traces and the MCU. They are looking for ways to solder connectors to the PCB so the module can be mounted on a separate board, avoiding the need to redesign the main PCB. Suggestions include searching for specific PCB adapters and connectors. The user later finds the necessary adapters and expresses gratitude for the assistance. The discussion highlights the challenges of integrating components on PCBs and the importance of finding suitable connectors.

I have a GPS module whose footprint was placed on my main PCB by accident and need to find a work around. The EMI from the traces and MCU near the footprint for the module make it less than ideal for the specific requirements of the GPS modules embedded antenna. I've never dealt with surface mounts but is there any way to solder connectors of some sort onto the main PCB so that the module can be mounted on a separate board and connected with extensions wires. I'm completely new to the terminology and my options in this situation, I'd like to avoid having to redraw and reorder the main PCB. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

Yes just one. Also do you know if there is such a thing as a 2mm pitch female to 2.5mm pitch male converter ?

Disregard this question I've found adapters. Thank you

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
