April 7, 2025 | MycronicEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Mycronic’s Global Technologies division has acquired RoBAT, a company headquartered in the United Kingdom, which has developed a technology for fast and reliable tests of signal quality on PCBs.
Global Technologies is already active in providing electrical test equipment for bare board PCBs through the PCB Test business line. RoBAT offers specialized test equipment for high frequency signal quality tests of bare board PCBs. The company was founded in 2001, with currently 27 employees, and offices in the United Kingdom, United States and China. Net sales in 2024 amounted to GBP 3 million
“Computational power and communication will continue to evolve rapidly. The resulting high-speed applications require PCBs with good high frequency signal quality”, says Magnus Marthinsson, Sr VP Global Technologies at Mycronic.
“RoBAT’s offering is very exciting and particularly relevant for AI server applications”, says Jochen Kleinertz, Head of the PCB Test business line at Mycronic.
RoBAT will form part of the PCB Test business line within the Global Technologies division.

Study on Resonance Mitigation in Metallic Shielding for Integrated Circuits
07/08/2025 | Maria Cuesta-Martin, Victor Martinez, Vidal Gonzalez Aguado, Würth ElektronikInherent cavity resonant modes often lead to significant degradation of shielding effectiveness, responsible for unwanted electromagnetic coupling. Cavity resonant modes of the metal shielding enclosure can produce two adverse problems: the mutual coupling among different RF modules and shielding effectiveness reduction of the metal enclosure. The cabinets serve to shield certain components from electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, these cavities present some resonance peaks at 5 GHz, making it impossible to use them at higher frequencies.
