IPC Training Course on PCB Design for RF Boards
July 26, 2023 | IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
IPC will be holding a training course on printed circuit board (PCB) design for radio frequency (RF) board every Mondays and Wednesday from August 7 to September 13. The training sessions will be held via virtual meetings 11am to 1pm ET (5-7pm CET).
The program is designed to provide circuit board designers with a balanced foundation of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in printed circuit board design.
Upon completion, participants will be able to design boards for high-speed analog and RF/microwave frequencies; understand the trade-offs in materials used in these applications; define a board stackup that implements structures that will meet the needs of these designs; as well as understand and mitigate signal integrity issues for these designs.
They will also be able to learn the effects of mechanical retention needs for these applications, define and implement the tighter manufacturing tolerances, as well as understand the documentation requirements for these designs.

Setting Design Constraints Effectively
07/31/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPCB design requires controlling energy within the medium of a PCB. The manner in which we control the chaos of energy is by implementing and utilizing physical and electrical rules, known as constraints, along with a specific structure and material(s) that make up what is known as the foundation of the design. These rules govern everything within the PCB structure and generally fall into two camps: performance and manufacturability. Setting this foundation correctly is extremely important and the key to success.

Connect the Dots: Sequential Lamination in HDI PCB Manufacturing
07/31/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsAs HDI technology becomes mainstream in high-speed and miniaturized electronics, understanding the PCB manufacturing process can help PCB design engineers create successful, cost-effective designs using advanced technologies. Designs that incorporate blind and buried vias, boards with space constraints, sensitive signal integrity requirements, or internal heat dissipation concerns are often candidates for HDI technology and usually require sequential lamination to satisfy the requirements.
Target Condition: The 5 Ws of PCB Design Constraints
07/29/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionHave you ever sat down to define PCB design constraints and found yourself staring at a settings window with more checkboxes than a tax form? You’re not alone. For many designers—especially those newer to the layout world—the task of setting up design constraints can feel like trying to write a novel in a language you just started learning.
