Choosing a circuit material for a high-frequency printed-circuit board (PCB) is generally a tradeoff, often between price and performance. But PCB materials are also selected by two key factors: how ...

Meeting dimensional and signal integrity requirements while fitting standard slots. Fabricators often create multilayer PCBs of various thicknesses, which may include PCBs with varying thickness in ...

This is the first of several articles in the PCB Design Best Practices series, which discusses the different steps of PCB development from the basics of creating a design schematic with specific ...

Abstract: This article presents the design of a dual-lens beamformer in multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) technology. The proposed lens is implemented in a dielectric parallel-plate waveguide ...

Avoiding via failures caused by barrel plating separation. PCB manufacturers face challenges in the precise registration of multiple layers, which is required to ensure reliable interconnects, and in ...

Abstract: This paper presents a high Q and high-reliability Sband lumped-element filter based on multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) technology, using embedded spiral inductors and surface-mounted ...
