Elementary Mr. Watson: Navigating RF—A Glide Path Approach to Design Success

04/24/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. Watson
On a flight, I can always tell when we begin our descent because that subtle drop in my stomach tells me the altitude has changed. Landing an airplane involves a gradual, precise process called the glide path. It descends at the correct speed and 3-degree angle to touch down smoothly and safely on the runway without bouncing or coming to a sudden stop. Pilots use specialized tools like the Instrument Landing System (ILS) or GPS to stay on the correct path. Lights on the ground, called PAPI lights, help pilots know if they are too high or too low. 

Designers Notebook: Layer Stackup Planning for RF Circuit Boards

04/17/2025 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's Notebook
When designing multiple layer circuits requiring impedance control, the circuit board designer will work closely with an engineering specialist cognizant of RF printed circuit board design and layout, including mixed-signal applications.

Global PCB Connections: The Next Wave of HDI PCBs– How Design Engineers Can Stay Ahead

04/17/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB Connections
High density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards have come a long way from their origins as a niche technology for miniaturized applications. Today, HDI PCBs are at the forefront of innovation, driven by an insatiable demand for faster, smaller, and more powerful electronic devices. As consumer electronics, 5G infrastructure, and AI-driven systems advance, design engineers must stay ahead of the curve to ensure their PCB designs meet evolving industry demands.

The Shaughnessy Report: Always With the Negative Waves

04/09/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy Report
When I started covering PCB design in the ‘90s, RF designers comprised a small percentage of the design community. Other than cellphones and handheld GPS devices, RF wasn’t seen very often outside of military, aerospace, and law enforcement applications. Now, RF is everywhere. Almost every electronic device in your house and pocket—your cellphone, tablet, laptop, smartwatch, and wireless/smart speaker—contains RF technology. The entire wearable segment is built on RF technology
