High frequencies. Safe interference-free impedance.
Higher transmission frequencies, shorter pulse rise times, components that communicate with each other more quickly. In the middle of all this is the PCB with its conductor tracks as an important transmission conductor. High-frequency applications place ever greater demands on the assembly and require high-performance, interference-free impedance behavior. In concrete terms, this means that in order to avoid transmission errors, numerous influencing variables must be taken into account, from layer structure and layout to production.
Thanks to our many years of experience with high-frequency PCBs, we understand the complexity and sensitivity of impedances. We offer you individual support for both theoretical calculations and practical optimization. Thanks to state-of-the-art software, you benefit from the modeling of the PCB structure and the exact simulation of all changes to the track parameters. With the help of real process experience and production tolerances, we are able to predict the exact impedance characteristics of your PCB - and optimize them together with you if necessary.
