Hi Jean-Samuel.
Here are attached last versions of interactive PDF for assembly and schema, and BOM (rename zi_ to zip first). List of components which are changed: L6-1, L6-2 = R0603 0 Ohm instead of choke C45-1, C45-2 = Do Not Install C82-1, C82-2, C98-1, C98-2 = 100pF instead of 470pF C83-1, C83-2, C99-1, C99-2 = 1500pF instead of 8.2nF C84-1, C84-2, C97-1, C97-2 = 33pF instead of 150pF R106-1, R106-2, R121-1, R121-2 = 2k2 instead of 820 Ohm R109-1, R109-2, R119-1, R119-2 = 3k3 instead of 1.2 kOhm
Best regards, Andrey Sviyazov.

Hi Jean-Samuel.
First of all you're right, we can't delay production. So, I am sure it is better if PCB production will continue as you suggest.
There are only three hardware issues which have to be solved before assembling:
- Improving LMS phase noise.
It is almost done and Alexander wrote you which component need to order.
- Digital noise which born in GPS module 230.
In ver.2 we will use GPS module 570, but I am afraid that we can get the same problems. So, I need 1-2 days to workaround this issue. And also we have to understand either it important or it doesn't because this noises hided under modulation.
- LMS engineers suggested us to use PLL loop filter 100kHz instead
50kHz. In case of 100kHz we have to decrease charge-pump current from 1.2-1.9mA down to 0.4mA, but I am afraid about integral phase noise of LO because (possible) it can affect modulation phase error (in degrees). I think, required 1-2 days (the same days) to understand this also.
So, at Thirsday I will send you final BOM and assembly files. Hope it doesn't delay production, otherwise tell me and we'll hurry up.
Best regards, Andrey Sviyazov.

Hi Jean-Samuel,
We're sitting together with Andrey Sviyazov now and he says that it's fine to continue with this PCB.
You will need 40pcs of this 0 Ohm jumpers (2pcs per board):
http://fr.farnell.com/bourns/cr0603-j-000elf/resistor-0603-0r-5-0-1w/dp/2008...
Andrey will update the schematics and BoM later today.

Hi Andrey,
PCB copper is ready yet. We will lose 560 Euros and 3 weeks delay if we change the copper. It is not impossible, we can decide to do that but I would suggest we change the PCB for the next batch. After testing the v2 board, you may found more changes we need on the copper.
The board itself is not ready. We can change some passives. This will not cost anything (or almost) and extra delay will be just one or two days at most.
Please let me know what you want to do about the PCB.
Please let me know the exact passives modifications. I will purchase the components asap and send the modifications list to the fab.
Best regards.
Jean-Samuel. :-)

Hi Jean-Samuel.
Please let me know fabrication progress, a specially PCB. I ask you because of few changes required to improve LMS phase noises. BOM required changes in passive components only. If PCB doesn't yet ordered, then possible I'll make changes too.
Best regards, Andrey Sviyazov. (Sent from my mobile client)
