FM Radio PCB Design
A four-layer KiCad radio design combining a Si4705 receiver, RP2040 control, USB-C power, stereo headphones, and a mono speaker, with design review and a hardware validation plan.
RF Engineering Portfolio
RF systems, hardware integration, and measured performance.
I'm Yaniv Lieberman, an Electrical Engineer focused on RF systems and hardware integration. I work at the intersection of theory and hands-on debugging, turning complex designs into working systems.
My experience includes RF measurements, embedded systems, and automated testing. I'm particularly interested in RF characterization, system validation, and high-frequency hardware design.
Selected RF, embedded, and hardware-integration projects.
