Abstract :
As printed circuit boards are steadily becoming faster, existing test technologies leave significant holes in coverage. In 2007 we presented a new approach to detecting power and ground defects using "network parameter measurements". This paper analyses the effectiveness of this technique in a high volume manufacturing environment.
