VII. Conclusion
PCB design requires comprehensive set of knowledge.
This includes electromagnetism, circuits, and manufacturing. While this tutorial provides justified recommendations on how to design a high-performance PCB,
it does not eliminate the need to verify designs with
simulations, nor follow the recommendations of IC and
PCB manufacturers. Additional topics that are useful in
PCB design include layer stackup, substrate material, reliability, and thermal considerations. Furthermore, it is
essential for PCB designers to consider ergonomics, to
ease testing and assembly processes.
Mohammad Abu Khater (S'02-M'15SM'18) Received his Ph.D. degree from
Purdue University in 2015. He was an
assistant professor at PSUT University,
Amman-Jordan. Currently, he is a research scientist at Purdue University.
His research interests include monitoring and control
of RF filters, multi-function RF devices, and RF frontend design.
Dr. Abu Khater's industrial experience includes Intel
Labs and Qualcomm. He received the Fulbright scholarship to his graduate studies. He also received the excellence in teaching award from Purdue University, college
of engineering 2012.
