Connected Community Networks, Inc.
CCN provides impedance, loss, and s-parameter test systems for PCB production testing and design. We also provide test services to support products or customers needing traceable dielectric constant and transmission line testing.
CCN was founded in 2005 to support high-frequency and high-speed electronic product development. CCN’s President, Dr. Don DeGroot, brings 25 years of experience in high speed measurements, design, research, and project management, including 12 years with the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Our measurement team employs standard measurement techniques of the ASTM and IPC, the best practices of national standards lab, and methods that trace measurement quality to NIST.
CCN is a Colorado business offer both test systems solutions and tracable test services.

Total Loss: How to Qualify Circuit Boards
May 12, 2011 | Don DeGroot; CCNi, Peter Pupalaikis; LeCroy, Brian Shumaker; DVT Solutions, LLC
We clarify the role of signal loss measurements, aka Total Loss, in specifying and qualifying circuit board materials for high-speed electronic design. We then demonstrate the NIST Multiline measurement technique in particular by characterizing test line...
