How to Choose High-Speed PCB Materials for GHz and 100 Gbps Applications

As the processing speed of microprocessors, signal converters, and high-speed data transmission equipment continues to increase, digital systems are reaching data rates of 100 Gbps and beyond. At these speeds, conventional PCB materials may no longer provide the electrical performance required for reliable high-speed signal transmission. Therefore, selecting the appropriate…

Passive Intermodulation (PIM) in High-Frequency PCB Design: Causes and Solutions

When designing RF and microwave systems, engineers pay close attention to intermodulation distortion (IMD), especially in applications where multiple high-power signals are transmitted simultaneously. In passive circuits such as antennas, transmission lines, cables, connectors, filters, and other RF components, a related phenomenon known as Passive Intermodulation (PIM) can become a…
