Microsectioning Analysis Improves Quality Control
Microsectioning is an evaluative technique to peer inside boards and investigate the post-manufacturing structure for quality control

DFM issues in PCB production are best rooted out in the design phase; working in tandem with a manufacturer at this stage improves yield and performance.
PCB defects can frustrate manufacturing, but even worse are issues that escape the shop and affect the reliability of devices.
Coplanar waveguide design is a transmission line topology growing in popularity alongside millimeter-wave and MMIC technologies due to its high isolation.
As signal speeds continue to get faster and faster in circuit boards, designers must do more to ensure the best signal integrity in their layouts. One of those areas that require diligence in design is controlled impedance traces. High-speed transmission lines must have a carefully created trace structure to guide their path without differences in impedance that can distort the signal. Not only does this affect how the trace is routed, but also how the board layer structure is set up. Here is a brief look at impedance control in PCB design and how you can successfully set up your board for routing controlled impedance lines.
PCB beveling is a method of polishing depanelized board edges; the cleaned edges are necessary for creating PCB edge connector cards.
