component dimension selection for RF circuits
Hi,
Got two questions,
1. Is there a general rule for selecting dimensions of components for RF circuits?
I've heard lumped component dimensions should be less than lambda/10 at the operating frequency... is that true?
2. Can we have holes in a metal package of a microwave circuit which will not allow to leak RF signals?
dimensions of the holes in terms of lamda? < lambda/10, <lambda/20 etc?
cheers,
