Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a PCB design with traces that are too close together. Explain how you would redesign it to minimize parasitic effects.

💡 Hint: Consider both physical layout and electrical isolation.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a circuit with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω, the load impedance is mismatched to 75 Ω. Calculate the reflection coefficient.

💡 Hint: Apply the reflection coefficient formula to determine how much of the signal is reflected.
