Martyn Gaudion

of

Polar Instruments Ltd.

Guernsey, UK

presenting

"Impedance control on multiple dielectric builds"

An introduction to getting the best impedance controlled yields by taking into account the "real world" dielectric layers in PCBs, including explanations as to why even FR4 builds should be treated as though they are actually composed of multiple dielectric regions.

Bonus topic (if time available) An introduction to lossy PCB transmission lines. An informal introduction to the topic of PCB transmission line losses, and why they will need increasing understanding over the next decade.

About Martyn Gaudion:

Martyn Gaudion is Sales & Marketing director of Polar Instruments Ltd. in Guernsey, UK. He began his career at Tektronix in the early 1980’s where he was responsible for test engineering on high bandwidth portable oscilloscopes. He then moved to lead the introduction of surface mount production processes during 1988. Gaudion joined Polar in 1990 where he was responsible for the design and development of the Toneohm 950, Polar’s multilayer PCB short circuit locator. During 1994 he moved to applications support for Polar’s range of PCB faultfinding systems. He became marketing manager at Polar during 1997 as the market for controlled impedance test became a major section of Polar’s product range and was appointed Sales & Marketing director in January 2001. Gaudion has been published in a number of PCB industry journals and regularly contributes to IPC High Speed High Frequency standards committees.
