Webinar – How PCB size affects connectivity: insights from device design cases
Oct
How small can the PCB get before connectivity suffers? As connected devices shrink, board dimensions increasingly influence antenna behavior and connectivity performance, and the answer depends on more than the antenna itself.
In this webinar, Ignion’s Engineerign Manager, Loubna Loubna el Madi Azuz, and Antenna Design Influencer, Katerina Hardyson, work through three device design cases based on projects with progressively smaller PCB sizes. The speakers explain the physical limitations that emerge as the board gets smaller, show through simulation how different device materials change antenna behavior, and highlight the engineering considerations that made the difference in each case.
Each case comes from a specific application, but the lessons transfer to other designs. The session closes with practical design guidelines for different PCB dimensions.
Key Takeaways
- Which physical limitations emerge as PCB dimensions decrease, and how they constrain connectivity
- How device materials and the surrounding environment change antenna behavior, shown through simulation
- How to carry the key engineering considerations from each case into your own design, whatever the application
