Emc
& the Printed Circuit Board: Design, Theory & Layout
Made Simple
Reference text shows how & why RF energy
is created within a printed circuit board, & the manner
in which propagation occurs. Text enables engineers to grasp
both the fundamentals of EMC event while maintaining optimal
functionality for low- & high- technology products.
Printed
Circuit Board Materials Handbook (Electronic Packaging and
Interconnection)

process, describing how basic raw materials are used to make
various types of printed wiring boards and detailing their
physical, mechanical, and electrical properties.
Pollution
Prevention (P2) for Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing 3672
P2 is the use of materials, processes,
or practices that eliminate or reduce the creation of pollutants
or waste at the source. P2 consists of a variety of strategies
and techniques that strive to avoid the production of waste
and the subsequent costly and sometimes dangerous waste management
activities.
