Printed circuit boards (pcb) are conductive paths located on an insulating substrate with the role of connection between different electronic components.
The term "controlled impedance" refers to the electrical interconnection paths between electronic components that present a constant impedance when propagating signals.
The impedance depends on the path geometry and the electrical permittivity of the substrate.

covered with solder mask, the inner copper layers are protected by the adjacent substrate Controlled impedance layers. The soldering mask soldermask is made of a fluid substance like an ink and is applied in a thin layer similar to varnish on the entire surface of the printed circuit less on the soldering pads and it
most common are the four-layer ones. The four-layer board has many more routing options in the internal layers compared to the two-layer board, and often part of the internal layers are used as a ground plane or power plane, to achieve better signal impedance Controlled integrity, higher
the substrate. Chemical etching divides the copper into separate conductive lines called tracks or circuit paths, pads for connections, metallized holes (vias) for impedance Controlled passing connections between layers of copper as solid conductive areas for electromagnetic shielding or other purposes. Each of the conductive layers is designed with copper tracks (similar to wires on
