Is plain old FR-4 (also known as “Glass Epoxy”) PCB material suitable for use in RF designs[1]? This question comes up time and again. Many say no, fewer say yes – who's right? As I have published ...

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 ...

German semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies AG announced that it’s producing a printed circuit board (PCB) that dissolves in water. Sourced from UK startup Jiva Materials, the plant-based ...

We’ve reduced printed circuit board design to practice so much that we hardly give a thought to the details anymore. It’s so easy to bang out a design, send it to a fab house, and have ten boards in ...

Higher power density, smaller form factors and long-life reliability expectations all collide, requiring better thermal ...

The South Korean printed circuit board (PCB) industry is struggling as soaring gold and copper prices, up 50% and 30% ...

As electronic systems evolve toward RF transmission, optoelectronic integration, and miniaturization, glass PCBs have emerged as a promising alternative to overcome material performance bottlenecks.

Why today’s high-speed, high-frequency designs have very little “wiggle room” within them relative to laminate properties. Why the end-product’s application and performance determine the most critical ...
