[HomeBrew] RF Pad Construction Layout

[Dennis L. Wade]

Hello everyone,

	I want to construct an RF pad, PI section for working on receivers.  
I have the appropriate values for the attenuation and impedances I 
want.  What I don't know is how to physically arrange the components 
in such a way that I have good performance to as high a frequency as 
practicable without using surface mount devices.

	I am thinking of a small pc board box with a BNC connector at each 
end.  Can anyone give me some advice (or direct me to a place) on how 
to lay this thing out well?  Can I assume that modern metal film 
resistors would be ok here, or do I need to use carbon comps?

			Thanks!
