In vibration-critical applications, understanding how a PCB deforms under excitation is essential. Using massively parallel ...

Vibration testing and analysis. This has been referred to in a number of different ways, most of which are not meant to be complimentary. Voodoo box, black magic, rocket scientist stuff, etc. It is an ...

Random vibration testing provides energy simultaneously at all frequencies. Vibration testing can help ensure that your new design will survive its intended environment. The problem is knowing how ...

When a design engineer considers the different harsh environmental conditions a product may encounter, vibration and shock may not immediately come to mind. However, vibration can be a major source of ...

Printed-circuit-board quality challenges extend from design through production test and inspection and on to field diagnostics. Meny Gantz, VP of marketing for Orbotech’s PCB division, cited some key ...

It is a common belief that multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) or DC power supply circuits cause audible noise, but that’s not true. The noise is generated by the PCB, not by the components. The ...
