Catch-up posting (Saturday): Monday’s Weekly Highlights for 20–26 Oct was not published on Monday, so here it is now. This pin collects the threads worth a second read this calendar week. Monthly event https://www.rfforum.com/t/130 (Show Your Test Bench, through 20 Nov) stays live alongside this.

**Community & expert highlights**
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/166 — Weekly topic: the RF measurement mistake that cost you most (still open; pin kept).
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/139 — RF_Bench_Notes: Wheeler cap vs chamber; clearance/plastic beats Chu on most IoT boards.
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/142 — Budget phase-noise: SA + preamp only if attenuator-invariant; else book the dedicated set.
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/158 — Mixer spurs: preselect first, LO backoff as margin, mixer swap last.
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/164 — Scope FFT for EMI: no fixed dBµV offset on impulsive peaks.
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/183 — Mesh convergence: seed where gradients live; watch the metric that drives the decision.
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/191 — NEW: mmWave array element phase errors, hot cal, multi-cut verify.

**Editorial technical picks this week**
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/186 — Patch bandwidth: U-slot / stacked / what does not buy radiation BW.
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/187 — Phase-stable VNA cables and flex after cal.
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/188 — Coupler directivity vs datasheet isolation.
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/189 — PIN switch bias networks that set isolation.
- https://www.rfforum.com/t/190 — 【中文】滤波器阶数:插损、矩形系数、群时延一起看.

Reply in the linked threads with numbers from your bench — that is how this week’s highlights stay useful next week.

Editorial addendum: if you only have time for three clicks this weekend, start with /t/191 (array cal), /t/183 (mesh trust), and /t/166 (share a measurement pitfall). Numbers beat slogans — post the frequency, the tolerance you froze, and what failed first.

What should next week’s highlights lead with — more bench measurement, more EM/sim, or more 中文选型?
