EIPC Webinar Focuses on 5G

Reading time ( words)

In line with the growing adoption of 5G, there is a clear demand in the whole PCB supply chain on finding solutions to decrease signal losses at the PCB level. The understanding of loss savings in signalling at the PCB level is meaningful from functionality, but also from the signal point of view and the total power consumption of the product.

Thus, OEMs are challenging the supply chain to find the solutions to increase signal losses and improve the signal quality at the PCB level.

In line with this, the sixth Technical Snapshot Webinar of the European Institute for the PCB Community (EIPC) will focus on 5G. To be held on March 17, the session will feature interesting papers on the dielectric material, copper foil, and testing solutions, supporting the challenge of signal losses driven by these high-speed products.

The webinar will feature Dipl.-Ing. Manfred Huschka, vice president of global marketing, AGC Multi Material General Division, who will present his paper, "Electrical and Mechanical Reliability of an RF Laminate are Key Requirements For Selection in 77 GHz ADAS sensor"; Julie Mouzon of Circuitfoil, who will present a paper on ultra-flat ED-copper foils dedicated to high-speed digital and RF circuit boards; and Martyn Gaudion of Polar Instruments, who will speak on the primary drivers for insertion loss on high speed base material.

Moderated by Paul Waldner of Multiline International Europa, EIPC’s webinar will also have a Q&A session at the end.

Every industry has a beginning, and we are lucky to have Rex Rozario here to share the story of how the printed circuit board industry got its start. I-Connect007 chatted with Rex recently about how he became involved with circuit board inventor Dr. Paul Eisler.

It’s been a little while since I first had the opportunity to review an EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar. This excellent series began in October 2020 when our industry was besieged by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has continued successfully as restrictions have lifted and provides an effective channel for the efficient sharing of relevant knowledge that complements the traditional live conferences. The 20th in the series, in December 2022, focused on environmental issues impacting the electronics industry. In early February, EIPC held its live Winter Conference in Lyon and now, by popular demand, the 21st Technical Snapshot fills a slot before the Summer Conference scheduled for mid-June in Munich.

Andy Shaughnessy talks with John Andresakis about how the merger of resistive foil technologies from Ohmega and Ticer has evolved under the new ownership of Quantic. Andresakis also shares how these materials are finding new applications, especially in the embedded component application space, as the company reaches out to the new generation of PCB designers and design engineers.
