From assembly development to mitigating crosstalk to signal integrity, these tips can help streamline the high-speed PCB design process.

The thickness of SMT pad becomes 40 mils, inclusive of connector pin and solder, which is almost 40 times the thickness of the microstrip PCB trace. The capacitive discontinuity and higher signal ...

Anyone can build one of these with Eagle or KiCad, but that means waiting for an order from a board house to verify your design. [VK2SEB] has a better idea for prototyping PCB filters: use copper ...

This article is part of the TechXchange: Automotive Radar and PCB Tools and Technology Members can download this article in PDF format. What you’ll learn: What is software defined radio (SDR ...

Thus, a microstrip traceon a 0.062-in.-thick standard prototypeboard that was calculated to be 0.11 in.wide 30 years ago is still 0.11 in. widetoday. Many surface-mount parts are farsmaller than their ...

FR4 is FR4, right? For a lot of PCB designs, the answer is yes — the particular characteristics of the substrate material don’t impact your design in any major way. But things get a little ...
