DW1000 stackup issue

Hi,
has anyone made a layout for DW1000 with a different stackup than the one given in APH001?

This is an unusual stackup and cannot be ordered from typical suppliers like PCBWAY or JLCPCB.

Hi @vevotribe
you can actually use any stackup you want, but you need to calculate a new track width for RF traces.

If out use Altium designer then you can use Stackup manager to get those values.

Cheers

If you google saturn PCB toolkit you should find a tool that will give you the correct trace widths for all sorts of different stackups. Together with lots of other useful PCB related design guides.
