A Study of PCB Insertion Loss Variation in Manufacturing Using a New Low Cost Metrology

Signal integrity analysis has shown that printed circuit board (PCB) insertion loss is a key factor affecting high speed channel performance. Determining and controlling PCB insertion loss have .. read more

Transmission Line Characterization through the Enhanced Root Impulse Energy Loss

In today’s PCB industry,the challenges are no longer just on how to control and improve the manufacturing processes,but also to ensure the fabricated product is compliant to the industry standa .. read more

Assessment of Moisture Content Measurement Methods for Printed Circuit Boards

Using embedded structures in printed circuit boards,changes in moisture content have been monitored using route-impulse-energy measurement,capacitance measurement and weight gain. All three met .. read more

Comparative Analysis of Solder Joint Degradation Using RF Impedance and Event Detectors

Under cycling loading conditions,solder joints are susceptible to fatigue cracking,which often initiates at the surface where the strain range is maximized. Event detectors have been widely use .. read more

Changing the Paradigm For Optical and X-Ray Inspection of Backplanes and Large PCB Assemblies

Fully automatic X-ray Inspection (AXI) is an established technique for inspecting component mounting and solder joint integrity on PCBA’s. It is occasionally used for the detection of faults on .. read more

Effects of Adhesion Promotion Treatment On Electrical Signal Attenuation

Oxide alternatives,as well as traditional and reduced oxide chemistries,are coatings or “adhesion promoters” used to enhance the bond between imaged and etched inner layer copper surfaces and t .. read more

Production Test Methodology to Determine High Frequency Signal Loss of PWB

A new low cost,simple and repeatable production test method for measuring signal loss of printed wiring board (PWB) interconnects is discussed. The method uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) t .. read more

Low Cost Energy Based TDR Loss Method for PWB Manufacturers

While silicon density doubles approximately every 18 months,following Moore’s law,PWB electrical technology advances much more slowly,Up until now trace impedance has been a sufficient high spe .. read more

Propagation Delay Measurements with TDR in the Manufacturing Environment

This paper addresses the growing need in the Printed Wiring Board industry to measure and test propagation delay parameters of board interconnects within the fabrication process. The state of c .. read more
