There are numerous types of sensors that require PCB design and fabrication – flow, image, level sensors, light, motion, position and temperature sensors to name a few. All of which rely on heavy-data transmissions and analysis gathered from the environment, manufacturing assets and equipment. Designing PCB for these types of sensors needs to take different parameters into account, such as the environment in which they operate, their form factor, power requirements, to ensure signal and power integrity at all times for their smooth functionality as well as cost, sensitivity, reliability, and rapidity of data. Our expertise in substrate design and fabrication allows for high precision miniaturized sensors applying minimum trace spacing, and width.

Chip packaging technology has become a key factor enabling smaller, lighter systems with increased functionality. When Radio Frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) chip is placed inside a package and connected to other components, this antenna-in-package (AiP) concept enables the reduction of the overall size and weight of the system and increases its cost efficiency. We at PCB Technologies can give our customers the benefit of a decade-long PCB and PCBA experience to be implemented in miniaturization solutions as well.
Wide range of Application in package adopted by chip developer for high-frequency applications from 60 GHz radios, to automotive radars, to phased arrays, to advanced sensors at 160 GHz up to 20 GHz for special applications.

Processing light waves to enhance an image by the use of electrical periscopes, microscopes, telescopes, or cameras while converting electromagnetic waves into visible light is at the core of electro optics instrumentation. The more complex the instrument and its technology-based operation, the more its reliance on high reliability and high speed PCB, in which we specialize.

Other PCB factors, such as compact size, range of power output levels, vibration, and high level of connectivity make PCB manufacturing and design challenging.

MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) are the microscopic building blocks of modern electronics. MEMS device, which contains mechanical moving parts within the package, requires proper layout to ensure the highest performance in a finished product. PCB Technologies’ decade-long-experience in PCB design and fabrication contributes to our capacity to provide solutions for the market’s continued demand for miniaturization of electronic devices. We make sure every parameter related to their design does not go unnoticed such as the components sensitivity to mechanical and thermal stress coming from the PCB they’re assembled to, or the need to reduce PCB signal noise to ensure their smooth operation. We implement high-end technologies on accelerometers, gyroscopes, MEMS microphones, motion and pressure sensor modules, and more.

Fully automated factories relying on data automation efficiency and productivity are constantly increasing their utilization of technological advancements made in autonomous robots, big data, and internet of things (IoT), machine learning, simulation, and system integration. The main incentive of industry 4.0 manufacturers is to track down manufacturing errors as they occur. Big volumes of data analysis require highly reliable PCBs which should be tested and process controlled through each of their production stages. Industries 4.0 also requires PCB design which is able to combine RF, advances processors, antennas, miniaturization, optics and advanced technologies into one integrated system. PCB Technologies is the perfect fit in terms of know-how based on long years of PCB manufacturing and design, PCBA and full system integration.
