    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Covers end product inspection and testing of high-frequency (microwave) printed boards for microstrip, stripline and multilayer stripline applications. These requirements pertain to single-sided (type 1), double-sided (type 2) and multilayer (type 3) printed boards for use in all three IPC end product performance classes.
