Default Re: Perf board

I have used normal veroboard with strips one side successfully for low RF frequency designs i.e. 455KHz IF etc, but try to remove as much unwanted copper as possible. I have used the plain board with no copper on for VHF up to about 150MHz with no problems also. I have never bothered with the ground plane type, so no experience good or bad there unfortunately. I think you will get away with what you are proposing as long as you follow normal RF techniques. I have never bothered measuring capacitance between tracks before. I would imagine it will be low as long as the tracks are kept short.
