Cascade Chapter Designers Council Meeting is June 12
June 6, 2019 | IPC Designers Council, Cascade ChapterEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Cascade Chapter of the IPC Designers Council will be meeting on June 12. This evening event is free, with dinner sponsored by Mentor. Don't miss out on this great educational opportunity to advance your knowledge and design skills.
The guest speaker is Robert Hanson, and electrical engineer and signal integrity design instructor. He will present Achieving Signal Integrity and Meeting EMI Radiation Requirements Using High-Speed Connectors.
Robert will be showing examples of connectors that have poor control of EMI radiation/immunity, which are also affected by mutual inductance and high signal reflection. Next, examples of adding ground pins will be shown that in turn enhance capability. The ground blade connector will be shown with different signal/ground pin configurations to show comparative transmission capabilities. Two widely used high-speed connectors for circuit cards and backplanes will be compared. A method to interface a connector to a land trace to eliminate reflections will follow. Finally, a connector that passed radiated emissions up to 500MHz will be discussed.
Date
Wednesday June 12, 2019
Time
6:00 - 8:00 pm
Location
Lake Washington Institute of Technology - Kirkland Campus. The meeting will be held in room A102 in the Southeast corner of the building on the 1st floor.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.

The Right Blend: Mixed Wireless Technologies
05/08/2025 | Kirsten Zima, Siemens EDAA common trend recently is to employ as many radios as possible on a single PCB. With the increase of wireless standards and the downscaling of PCB size, it can be difficult to know what the most critical design parameters are to focus on. In this article, we’ll discuss the most important considerations to make when designing with mixed wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi, on a single PCB. These considerations include antennas, frequencies, FCC compliance, shielding, and layout with and without transition vias.
