Obtaining reliable measurement data of surface-mount components using printed circuit boards (PCBs) is not a trivial task when such measurements must be performed at 100 GHz and beyond. In such cases, it is necessary to account for various factors to perform accurate measurements, including substrate selection, calibration standards, etc. This paper discusses how accurate measurements of surface-mount components using PCBs can be achieved at frequencies as high as 110 GHz when following proper techniques. To demonstrate, measurement results are shown for both broadband multi-layer capacitors and broadband conical inductors.

Choosing the right testing method for your printed circuit boards (PCBs) is crucial. Dive into the pros and cons of two popular testing methods: Flying Probe and In-Circuit Test (ICT). https://lnkd.in/gdM-iYRR #PCBTesting #ElectronicsManufacturing #FlyingProbe #InCircuitTest #Acculogic

The impedance of flexible printed circuit boards (FPC) is a critical parameter that affects circuit performance, consisting of resistance and reactance. It plays a crucial role in determining how current flows through the circuit and is essential for ensuring good conductivity and signal transmission performance during electronic component installation. Materials with low resistivity are crucial for maintaining desired impedance levels and meeting quality standards in the production process.#capacitance #flexibleprintedcircuitboard #FPCimpedance #inductance #reactance #resistance

Temperature measurement of electronic components of a newly developed circuit board Temperature management is an important aspect in the development of electronics. Without targeted measures in this area, there is a risk that the devices will wear out prematurely and end up as electronic waste. By optimizing temperature management, the service life of the end product can be significantly extended 🚀. At Innovation Matters, we are currently working on innovative solutions for highly efficient temperature management on a new printed circuit board that we have developed ✅. #InnovationMatters #CircuitBoardDesign #TemperatureManagement #SmartHome #SmartSolution #ElectronicsDevelopment #InnovativeSolution

You’ve heard of keyed connectors, but what about a keyed flex cable? If you’re going to use flex printed circuit (FPC) cables in your product assembly, consider installing keyed flex cables. https://bit.ly/4bJS3rp #AllegroX #Cadence

Connecting multiple printed circuit boards (PCBs)? When do flexible connectors have the edge over rigid (and vice versa)? The right choice will always be specific to the product/solution you’re aiming to develop together with the production method, the mounting position of PCBs relative to each other, operating environments and electrical parameters. That’s why a conversation with us should always be your first step- but you can read our general advice here: https://lnkd.in/ggAGUBP2 #electronicccomponents #connectors #hitaltech

Practical Mitigation of Passive Intermodulation in Microstrip Circuits We have developed a novel practical approach to mitigate Passive Intermodulation (PIM) in microstrip circuits fabricated on commercial printed circuit board laminates. Our method focuses on reducing the magnitude of local Electro-Magnetic (EM) fields at the edges of microstrip transmission lines, which are identified as key contributors to PIM generation. By selectively coating these edges with a thin layer of high-permittivity dielectric (Ta2O5), we achieved more than a 10 dB reduction in PIM levels without compromising the linear characteristics of the circuit. This innovative approach provides a new, effective means for mitigating PIM, which is both practical and applicable to a wide range of commercial printed circuits.
