How designing silkscreen a PCB for RF applications

autodeskguest

Hi, I'm using Eagle and designing a PCB for RF applications and need to

create a shield or border with gold bath in which some RF components are

placed, but I nedd that is free of the mask silkscreen, as you can see in

the picture, someone could tell me how I can do in Eagle?

    Hello,

     

    I assume you mean you need it to be free of the solder mask (silkscreen is

    the legends with component references printed on it) which is fairly

    straightforward to achieve.

     

    1) Select the WIRE tool.

    2) Change layer to tStop (or bStop for the bottom side)

    3) Select a trace width to match your shield width.

    4) Draw over the top of the shield trace.

     

    Best Regards,

     

    Rachael
