Vector and Perforated Boards
Vector and perforated boards can be used for building radios (Figure 3-22). On the
left is a perforated (perf) board. Although the radios can be built using a perf
board, a vector board with a ground plane is preferred. And on the right is a vector
board with the ground-plane side up. Generally, the components are placed on the
ground-plane side, and wiring is done on the opposite side (the side without a
ground plane).
