Consumer PCB Design: Board Choices and Prototype Tests

A consumer PCB is a printed circuit board used in an everyday electronic product, but “consumer” does not specify its material, layer count or reliability level. Choosing one means matching the board to the product’s space, power, interfaces, environment and production requirements. A successful prototype must demonstrate those requirements inside Read more

High-Frequency PCB Design Guidelines: Loss and RF Checks

High-frequency PCB design starts with a measurable RF requirement, not a universal trace width or a rule that every board needs an exotic laminate. Define the operating band, acceptable loss and reflection, reference impedance, and measurement endpoints. Then select the material and transmission-line geometry together, review every transition, and verify Read more
