Long gone are the days of design-by-hand. Antennas and Filters have progressed far beyond the basic structures they used to be. Most designs done today have to withstand harsh design environments such as cellular phones, car interiors and inside a living tissue.
Additionally, a lot of devices today have multiple radiators operating in various bands. Active components can cause interference between the various devices on the board. All of these need to be taken into account while approaching a new design.
Over the years, I have designed various devices in a variety of bands. Each frequency band imposed a different set of problems that had to be addressed. Be it manufacturability issues, unknown dielectric properties of the materials for any frequency, designing for measurement and testing issues and many more.
I never compromise on the fine details. For me the electromagnetic design process never ends at a coaxial connector.
