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.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
03/28/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007I’ve spent my week recovering from a busy and interesting week in Anaheim for the 25th IPC APEX EXPO. I think back to my first APEX EXPO, and the changes since then are too numerous to count. I first attended in 2004, also in Anaheim, back when there was almost no design content in the conference or expo portions of the show. It was just a few years after the downturn, and attendees and exhibitors alike were skittish, almost afraid to show confidence in our industry. A few unemployed design friends handed out copies of their resumes. Travel budgets were still down, and the aisles weren’t exactly packed with traffic.
