Does anyone have any experience using zero-ohm resistors in an RF signal path to select antennas?

I've typically used RF switches for this purpose, but that's also when it was necessary to allow the antenna selection to be changed "in the field". But for cases where the antenna selection is a manufacture-time option, I'm considering simple zero-ohm resistors.

I highly recommend using a normal SMD 10pF to 100pF ceramic capacitor, depending on frequency. They’re already used on the board, and tend to be cheaper than zero-ohm resistors, as we buy them by the bazillion rather than the handful.

What Others Are Asking

Is there any problems if I change 0805 too 0402 surface mount or smaller?

In order to reduce the size of a PCB, I will probably have to use smaller SM components. I currently use mostly 0805 passives, and am thinking about going to 0402 or smaller. Apart from power dissipation considerations, any pitfalls I should be aware of when making the transition?

How can I fix the PCB to the mechanical structure?

I designed a PCB with an imaging sensor that is mechanically coupled to a lens assembly using four 2-56 screws. I’m noticing that even though the screws are holding the board tightly against the mechanical structure if I flick or lightly knock the the assembly the image “moves”.  I’m hoping to get a few suggestions for ways to fix the PCB to the mechanical structure. Any suggestions for adhesives or the like? Something else?

Do you use SMT or THT for USB mini B connector?

This question is about the advisability of continuing to use a USB mini-B right angle surface mount connector in my pcb designs. On occasion we see one of these connectors peel back or delaminate off the pcb. Immediately the question is asked, why didn’t you use a through hole connector?
