Printed circuit boards with Bluetooth technology can be problematic with interference, lost data and poor signal integrity if certain precautions aren’t taken. San Francisco Circuits, a PCB manufacturing and PCB assembly provider, has published a set of guidelines that should be considered when choosing Bluetooth technology for a given application and, more specifically, designing it into a circuit board.
The article discusses how careful and considered PCB design can optimize signal integrity, minimize interference and lost data packets. As smaller, faster, and stronger Bluetooth components are developed, it will become increasingly important to select the right technology for a given application and design it into a circuit board that meets performance requirements.
