For 28 years PCB West has trained designers, engineers, fabricators and, lately, assemblers on making printed circuit boards for every product or use imaginable. From high-reliability military/aerospace to cutting-edge IoT and wearables, there’s something for everyone involved in the electronics supply chain. This is one show you cannot afford to…

Growing use of millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies for applications such as automotive radars, Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks, and satellite communications (satcom) mandates careful selection of printed-circuit-board (PCB) materials specially formulated to transmit signals at frequencies to 70 GHz and higher. At the same time, digital signals are moving at higher…

  Fifth Generation (5G) networks offer extensive wireless services with even faster data rates to come. Most of the systems have been based on signals below 6 GHz. Once network coverage has been achieved at higher, millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies of 24 GHz and higher, 5G networks will support multi-gigabit…
