High-frequency PCBs are specialized circuit boards designed to transmit signals over a gigahertz (GHz) frequency range, ensuring quick and reliable communication in devices ranging from military radar systems to smartphones. These boards maintain signal integrity even at high frequencies, which is crucial for the functionality and efficiency of modern electronic devices. Stick around, and let’s explore...

Surface finishes in PCBs are vital for ensuring solderability, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance. They help components bond securely to the board, ensure smooth signal flow, and protect the PCB from environmental damage. Without a proper surface finish, a PCB may not function correctly or could wear out faster. Immersion Gold (ENIG) and Gold Plating are two popular gold...

A Hybrid Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is a multilayer PCB that combines dissimilar materials to optimize electrical performance, improve system reliability, and enhance high-frequency RF applications. These PCBs utilize materials with significantly different critical properties compared to traditional multilayer PCBs. Hybrid PCBs may incorporate a mix of FR-4 materials with high-frequency PTFE materials, or use a combination of various...

When designing a printed circuit board (PCB), engineers often focus on ensuring the correct impedance structures and electrical performance of the board. However, the physical characteristics, such as PCB thickness, are equally important and can significantly impact the cost, manufacturability, and performance of the final product. While standard PCB thicknesses are widely used, they are more of a...

Military and aerospace PCBs must adhere to intensely high standards to ensure their safety and functionality in the extreme conditions they’re used in. For this reason, PCB design for military and aerospace applications requires incredibly stringent guidelines with built in redundancy, extra safety, and stringent tolerances, minimizing risk of failure.
