EEcosystem Podcast Episodes

Wonder if you had the ability to have your PCBs manufactured in the US that were abundant, reliable and the pricing was competitive with offshore suppliers? This is what my guest, David Schild of PCBAA was recently advocating for on Capitol Hill along with PCB Industry executive members. Learn about the significant gains made in this annual event and what the implications will be for engineers like you.

Keysight Learning and The EEcosystem Podcast present Professor Dr. Eric Bogatin, Signal Integrity Expert, and Dr. Tim Wang-Lee, Signal Integrity Application Scientist in the first of a special edition podcast series. In this episode, we discuss issues related to the signal integrity design workflow and ways to ensure efficiency and success. We also explore ways that EDA tools can improve the design workflow and how these tools need to evolve in order to support the successful design and development of high-speed hardware applications.

John Coonrod, Technical Marketing Manager at Rogers Corporation, is our guest in this bonus IMS series. He talks about the challenge of designing for mmWave. He also talks about Radix, a new 3D printable RF material, and what he and Rogers are focusing on at this year's IMS 2023.

Daren McClearnon talks about the latest release of ADS 2024 and the evolving complexity of design processes RF/MW/mmWave of chip and module design. The overall trend is in more functionality in smaller spaces with less power and how Keysight is working to help designers meet these challenges.

Higher Frequency interconnects are driving Samtec to continually develop high-frequency products with smaller footprints. Jim talks about what they are highlighting at this year's International Microwave Symposium.

Siglent's Chris Armstrong gives updates on Siglent's latest products, particularly their latest VNAs and handheld portable scope that makes higher performance test and measurement equipment available at a competitive price point.

High-Speed Technical expert and luminary, Lee Ritchey is our guest today to discuss what engineers need to know to understand differential pair signal skew caused by the PCB fiber weave effect. Ritchey will discuss things you need to know in order to master and mitigate them in your designs. We also talk about things the industry is doing to solve the problem long term.

Laura Martin, Industrial Engineer and Director of Application Engineering for Summit Interconnect talks about her unlikely path to becoming a subject matter expert for PCB Technology and how we might inspire more women to follow her lead into the technology sector.
