What board can be used as foundation for building a power electronic converter?

The power electronic converter is for high power application. I am going to design it for a new project. Any useful advice?

You need to take power dissipation into consideration.
You must also calculate the current rating through the circuit and design the PCB track width accordingly.
The quality of the PCB material should also be considered. Low-quality PCBs would get damaged easily due to the heavy current carried by the track.
Apart from these things you should also take care of all safety features so that the circuit does not get shorted at any point if time during Power On time.

I guess Glass Epoxy PCBs give a better result than copper-clad PCBs.

How can I determine BGA land pad diameter for given ball diameter?

I’m working on a project which requires the use of a CSP package. The product’s datasheet provides ball pitch and ball diameter but nothing about the preferred land pad diameter.
How can the pad diameter be worked out from these figures assuming an NSMD land?

Are the two modules interfering with each other in a PCB with GSM module and the gp-635t GPS?

In my current prototype, I have a SIMCOM GSM module and the gp-635t GPS. They are both in an enclsoure including antennas (gps antenna is integrated). What I experience is sometimes poor GSM and GPS connectivity and sometimes GPS doesn’t get any fix (in the 2 minutes of time i allocate for it) and the GSM fails to send data sometimes. Any tips on this case?
