Every time serial data rates increase, they expose problems masked at slower speeds. Many of those problems occur because of decreased signal integrity from losses that occur in PCB traces, vias, and ...

Much has been written about the impending global rollout of 5G wireless infrastructure, and the profound impact that it will have on everything from mobile phone connectivity and fixed-wireless ...

The rapid advancement of GPU power is driving demand for faster, higher-frequency data links in AI servers and hyperscale data centers. With transfer rates pushing 32 gigatransfers per second, PCB ...

Designing circuit boards for high speed applications requires special considerations. This you already know, but what exactly do you need to do differently from common board layout? Building on where ...

We’ve always been fascinated by things that perform complex electronic functions merely by virtue of their shapes. Waveguides come to mind, but so do active elements like filters made from nothing but ...

How selecting the right materials is crucial in creating 5G-capable PCBs. Addressing EMI and thermal-management issues. The role of automated inspection. With “game-changing” 5G technology now ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...
