PCB|Glossary

This section is part of the Miscellaneous Glossary for RF and coaxial systems, explaining related technical terms, standards, and general specifications used in RF and coaxial products.

What Is a PCB?

PCB stands for Printed Circuit Board, a board used to electrically connect and mount electronic components.

Conductive traces are formed on insulating substrates to create electronic circuits.

PCBs are widely used in communication equipment, industrial devices, computers, and RF systems.

PCBs in RF and Coaxial Systems

In RF systems, PCB design is important for impedance control, signal integrity, and high-frequency performance.

RF connectors such as SMA, SMB, MCX, and MMCX are commonly mounted on PCBs.

PCB layout and grounding design directly affect RF transmission characteristics.
