PCB
Printed circuit board.
Example manufacturing process consists of
the following steps:
the following steps:
•
Consists of alternating layers of core and
prepreg stacked
prepreg stacked
•
The finished PCB is heated and cured.
•
The via holes are drilled
•
Plating covers holes and outer surfaces
•
Etching removes unwanted copper
•
Board is tinned, coated with solder mask
and silk screened

Aggressor
A network that transmits a coupled signal to another network is aggressor network.
Victim
A network that receives a coupled cross-talk signal from another network is a called the victim
