Optimizing PCB Designs Guidebook
Because PCBs are fundamental to electronic devices, they are used in a variety of defense, consumer electronics, telecommunications, healthcare and energy and power applications. This widespread adoption creates a significant market opportunity. However, PCB manufacturers and users must address challenges to continue to enable the mass market appeal and unique opportunities envisioned by the market forecasts and the electronics industry. These challenges and their solutions form the basis for the articles in this eBook.
These articles will give the reader a good understanding of the fundamentals and challenges of PCB material selection, design and fabrication that must be addressed to create the solutions that the electronics industry needs to evolve. The first article investigates a new composite laminate material that uses standard/qualified PTFE-based paper and glass fabric layers to provide good dimensional stability and Z-axis CTE while also exhibiting low Dk and Df. The second and last articles look at the fabrication process. The second article offers excellent insight into the fabrication steps and what is necessary at each step to optimize circuit performance. The last article addresses considerations for high-frequency RF and high-speed digital multilayer boards. The third article discusses how new materials overcome the traditional challenges presented by high Dk/low Df materials. The fourth article addresses how to reliably bend and form PCBs in response to the emergence of applications requiring 3D solutions.
IoT Special Focus
This IoT Special Focus eBook covers wireless power transfer and technology outlook, new AWGs and digitizers, a new dual band patch antenna design and new products from various companies.
New Developments in SATCOM
In the last decade, the satellite communications (SATCOM) market has redefined the opportunity and the differentiator for this segment. Early business models that relied on providing voice services to the most remote areas of the globe have evolved to demonstrate how SATCOM can play a significant role in augmenting and improving terrestrial network connectivity. Component and system suppliers are excited because market research firms estimate the opportunity to be $50 to $70 billion by 2032. Including service revenue from applications that SATCOM capabilities will enable pushes these market opportunities to $200 billion in 2032, with the CAGR expected to be around 10 percent. With the “direct-to-device” opportunity of connecting cellular devices directly to satellites just emerging, there is a tremendous upside to these forecasts.
The articles in this eBook give the reader a good understanding of the fundamentals and challenges of a satellite network, along with how the solutions will influence trends and opportunities. Electronically scanned phased array antennas are the foundation for NTN capabilities. Several of the articles address that application, along with system architectures and how to reduce component and system costs. Recognizing that SATCOM systems are trending higher in frequency, one of the articles addresses PCB design and development challenges and the best solutions for high-performance, low-cost millimeter wave circuits.
