High-Speed Design Series - RF Part 1

Though Nine Dot Connects is a Value Added Reseller (VAR) of electrical engineering design tools, we have rapidly expanded our capabilities to provide design services in all aspects of the PCB design flow. We have several talented individuals who have mastered PCB design, and their stories and experiences embody the engineering spirit that brought each of us into this industry. But more so, they wish to impart their knowledge to the engineering community on topics many of us wish to tackle and understand.

This August, we will start a 3-part series on High-Speed Design concepts.

Our August webinar will introduce Gary Gaddie, a +30-year veteran of the PCB industry. Gary has worked in both the military and commercial spaces. He is involved with the IPC and is CID++. Gary keeps abreast of the changes and innovations in PCB manufacturing and assembly technologies, allowing him to literally "Design for Manufacturing" (DFM). Gary will be discussing the basics of RF concepts in PCB design.

Topics will cover practical issues including (but not limited to):

• Antenna placement
  

• Waveguides
  

• Via stitching and via spacing
  

• Antipads

High-Speed Design Series - EM/SI Part 2

In August, we started a 3-part series on High-Speed Design concepts. This month, Jeff Condit will focus on noise mitigation in high-speed design. Jeff has over 40 years of experience in many electrical engineering facets such as hardware, software, systems, RF, digital and analog, and work experiences that range from military to commercial and everything in between. His talents extend to the ability to present engineering concepts concisely and logically.

Jeff will address the need for noise mitigation in high-speed PCB designs:

• Identifying unintended antennas and resonators on your board
  

• Brief review of the fundamentals as to why noise comes about
  

• Concerns one must address when laying out digital designs
  

• Transforming impedances without creating reflections
  

• Practices one can use to mitigate noise on the board

High-Speed Design Series - PCB/SI Part 3

In August, we started a 3-part series on High-Speed Design concepts. In part 3 of our series, Jeff Condit will continue discussing noise mitigation in high-speed design. The September webinar focused on the fundamentals necessary to gain an intuitive feel for High-Speed Design.

Jeff will address the need for noise mitigation in high-speed PCB designs:

• Concerns one must address when laying out digital designs
  

• Transforming impedances without creating reflections
  

• Practices one can use to mitigate noise on the board
