PCB Layout and Circuit Analysis Techniques to Maximize RF/ High Speed Performance
Details
The three-day course enables engineers and CAD technician to develop design rules for RF and high-speed designs, choose optimal design tools and organize the design process to efficiently execute the design that will ensure circuit performance and minimize costs and production time.
RF Engineers and PCB Layout Professionals will be able to understand fundamental RF and digital PCB design issues, compare transmission lines, evaluate termination types, identify and compensate for sources of interference and measure circuit performance. After this program, they will also be able to identify tools for analysis of RF and PCB layouts, and develop their set of layout rules.
What you will learn
- Fundamental RF and digital design issues
- How to compare transmission line types, characteristics and situations in which they can be used
- How to describe, evaluate and compare termination types, PCB materials and fabrication processes, and packaging types
- How to identify and compensate for sources of interference such as EMI and EMC
- How to measure and fine-tune circuit performance
- How to identify and select tools for analysing RF and high-speed PCB layouts
- How to develop RF/high-speed layout rules

Mr Richard (Rick) Fornes has over 33 years’ experience in consumer radio products as well as advances military communication systems. Over the course of his career, her has served as a Program Manager, Engineering Manager and Consultant for high-profile companies such as Nokia, Lucent, Trimble Navigation, Plantronics, Texas Instruments, and General Dynamics. He is currently employed in the RF semiconductor industry.
Initially, Rick’s interests were focused on the design of complete RF systems architectures for commercial radio and cellular-based systems. Since 2008, he has been involved in the design and development of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) M-Code radio architectures as well as RF synthesisers for the US Navy AMDR (Air and Missile Defence Radar) programme.
Over the past 20 years, Rick has developed several RF technical courses on microwave circuits and system design techniques, and has taught over 4,000 short courses worldwide through Besser Associates, a leading RF training organisation worldwide. He has also put together numerous conference papers on RF-related topics such as the design of power amplifiers and low-cost wireless systems.
Rick is a member of Besser Associates Technical Advisory Board, IEEE and ARR. He received his B.S.E.E. Degree in 1982 from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California, and his completed advanced studies in microwave engineering system architectures and power control.

- In 2004, Wizlogix invested in high-end EDA tools to be used for in-house layout design services and explored into additional services such as PCB prototyping fabrication and assembly.
- In 2007, the Wizlogix Training Hub was established. Working with renowned trainers internationally, we aim to provide technical competency courses and certification programs for local engineers.
- In 2009, we further expanded to specialize in quick turn prototyping, New Product Introduction (NPI) and High Mix Low Volume (HMLV) builds.
- With the aim of expanding like an MNC, Wizlogix embarked on improving employee engagement through HR Capability Programmes in 2011.
- In 2012, we became an IPC member to gear ourselves towards a worldwide industry standard in PCB qualities acceptance.
- By 2013, Wizlogix was involved in the PCB layout of a joint commercial satellite design and development project between DSO and NTU, and the satellite design for Singapore Technologies. They are now known as ST (Satellite System). Since then, we became part of the space ecosystem in the government’s efforts towards nurturing this new industry. ...
