Once a small but steady percentage of all PCB designs, RF is becoming more commonplace in this segment. The last few decades have brought on a proliferation of wireless handheld devices, and almost all of them feature some type of RF circuitry. RF is increasingly cited in I-Connect007 surveys as an area of concern.
In the April 2023 issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors dial in on the best practices for designing RF PCBs for wireless communications, and shine a light on the many trade-offs involved, from material selection to board-level design techniques, and much more.

Are Firms Holding Too Much Inventory?
10/30/2024 | Shawn DuBravac, IPCIn the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, manufacturers made significant adjustments to inventory management strategies as they faced sharp declines in demand and economic uncertainty. Manufacturers moved to scale back production and attempted to quickly reduce inventory levels. Post-crisis, many manufacturers adopted lean inventory practices, such as just-in-time (JIT) production, to minimize holding costs and illiquidity risks.
Punching Out: What Buyers Are Buying
10/08/2024 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!I recently looked at completed deals in the North American PCB and EMS sectors over the past few years and spoke with several buyers who are active in the M&A market. According to my records, there were 31 deals in the North American PCB sector from 2021 through August 2024 (11 in 2021, five in 2022, 13 in 2023, and two to date in 2024).
The Chemical Connection: How We Deal With a Technology Roadmap
10/07/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIdeally, we would all be aware of what future technology demands will be, at least for the near future, and take steps to be prepared to meet those demands. For most of us, however, while we may be aware of what’s coming in terms of production requirements, we usually don’t do much to get ready for them until we’re forced to by the market. We generally don’t have the time or personnel to spend on detailed planning or money to purchase any new equipment before it’s needed. So, how do most of us deal with it?
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
10/04/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineFall presents us with a lot of tradeshow activity, such as the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show, which kicked off the month in California. Our intrepid managing editor Andy Shaughnessy has been on the scene and I look forward to hearing more about the show from him. Next week, we’ll be at PCB West in the Bay Area, followed by SMTAI in Chicago the following week. For me, it feels like a proper launch into standard Q4 craziness highlighted by the end-of-year sales hustle and frenetic finalization of 2025 budgets. October also brings a stark reminder that the holiday season will soon be upon us. So, let the crazy begin.
