PCB Bends: Are Arc Traces Always the Best Option?

PCB Bends: Are Arc Traces Always the Best Option?

Question: In PCB routing, there are three common types of bends: right angle, 45 degrees, and arc (as shown in the figure below). Which type of bend is the best? This question can be answered relatively easily based on experience, with most people agreeing that arc > double 45 degrees > right angle. However, empirical … Read more

Embedded Design Technology and Performance Optimization of PCB Microwave Passive Components

With the rapid development of technologies such as 5G communication, millimeter-wave radar, and high-speed computing, microwave circuits impose higher requirements on PCB design. Traditional surface mount technology (SMT) shows significant limitations in high-frequency applications, particularly with the increasingly prominent performance degradation issues caused by parasitic effects. This article will delve into the embedded design technology … Read more
