Fine-Line Circuits Ltd - India to Exhibit at International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2023
May 15, 2023 | Fine-Line Circuits Ltd - IndiaEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Abhay Doshi, Managing Director of Fine-Line Circuits Ltd, has announced that his company will be exhibiting at this year’s International Microwave Symposium (IMS) to be held June 11-17 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.
It is Fine-Line’s mission to provide PCBs and PCBAs that deliver to the customer the RF performance they expect. They achieve this by working with every customer from the start through material selection, design optimization and final simulation, material stocking, PCB fabrication, and PCBA assembly to ensure expected precise RF performance.
When making this announcement Mr. Doshi said, “This is an excellent symposium and exhibition for us as we continue to increase our share of PCB supplies to the RF market. For a number of years now have been focused on RF and Microwave Systems requirements and the IMS 2023 symposium gives us the opportunity to talk to other like-minded individuals about this growing segment of the Electronics market. We look forward to meeting and talking with potential partners and customers in San Diego in June.”
Fine-Line Circuits will exhibiting in Booth 1713 sharing their expertise on providing the ideal surface finish for RF Microwave PCBs – Electrolytic Thick Gold Direct on Copper which gives a great skin and no Nickel related signal losses giving the designer the precise RF performance that the system is designed for.
Fine-Line has built a variety of PCB boards (hybrids, cavities, copper back, oversized PCBs) for a variety of Space and Defense Applications and other various systems (satcoms, radar, antenna, dividers, amplifiers, etc).

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
Trouble in Your Tank: Minimizing Small-via Defects for High-reliability PCBs
08/27/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankTo quote the comedian Stephen Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.” That can be the battle cry when you find that only small-diameter vias are exhibiting voids. Why are small holes more prone to voids than larger vias when processed through electroless copper? There are several reasons.
The Government Circuit: Navigating New Trade Headwinds and New Partnerships
08/25/2025 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitAs global trade winds continue to howl, the electronics manufacturing industry finds itself at a critical juncture. After months of warnings, the U.S. Government has implemented a broad array of tariff increases, with fresh duties hitting copper-based products, semiconductors, and imports from many nations. On the positive side, tentative trade agreements with Europe, China, Japan, and other nations are providing at least some clarity and counterbalance.
