Printed Circuit Board Deconstruction Techniques

چکیده
The primary purpose of printed circuit board (PCB) reverse engineering is to determine electronic system or subsystem functionality by analyzing how components are interconnected. We performed a series of experiments using both inexpensive home-based solutions and state-of-the-art technologies with a goal of removing exterior coatings and accessing individual PCB layers. This paper presents our results from the most effective techniques.

Planar Inter Digital Capacitors on Printed Circuit Board
Coplanar wave guide (CPW) inter digital capacitor (IDC) configurations on printed circuit board (PCB) and parametric variations over frequency are studied by simulation using ADS Momentum. The structures are fabricated in printed circuit board using PCB fabrication techniques. The scattering parameters of the structure are measured using vector network analyzer (VNA). The capacitance is estimat...
متن کاملModeling the Impact of Embedding Passives on Manufacturing System Performance
With the miniaturization of electronic products, reducing the size of the printed circuit board that forms the backbone of the product is paramount. Embedding passive components, which otherwise occupy valuable “real estate” atop the printed circuit board, into the printed circuit board substrate itself is one way of achieving this objective. This first part of this paper examines the technique...
متن کامل7 High Speed Hardware Design Techniques
In recent years there has been much pressure placed on system designers to verify their designs with computer simulations before committing to actual printed circuit board layouts and hardware. Simulating complex digital designs is extremely beneficial, and very often, the prototype phase can be eliminated entirely. However, bypassing the prototype phase in high-speed/high-performance analog or...

This article presents an overview of the microstrip patch antenna and its design techniques. Basically a microstrip patch antenna comprises of a trace of copper or any other metal of any geometry on one side of a standard printed circuit board substrate with other side grounded. The antenna is fed using various feeding techniques like coaxial, strip line, aperture coupling or proximity coupling...
متن کاملControlling Power-Distribution-Plane Resonance in Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards
This paper describes the mechanisms of powerdistribution-plane resonance in multilayer printed circuit boards and the techniques to control the resonance. The powerdistribution-plane resonance is responsible for high-level emissions and circuit malfunctions. Controlling the resonance is an effective technique, so adequate characterization of the resonance is necessary to achieve control. The re...
