    A printed circuit board (PCB) is one of the strong backbones to execute electronic system designs. Due to fast and reliable communication requirements between integrated circuit and other peripheral components over the PCB, there is a quest for the development of board-level designs and layouts. The advancement in technology has led to inventions from conventional rigid to flexible PCBs or flexible electronics (FE). The conformability of FE circuitry majorly depends upon the stretchable interconnects. An interconnect is the medium through which a signal is transmitted. The characteristic of stretchable interconnects is determined through their electrical and mechanical properties. The analytical model and parasitic extraction of the interconnect for rigid PCB structures have been widely explored earlier. However, the analytical formulation of the stretchable interconnect still remains a challenge and meagerly explored till date. Consequently, in this work, an explicit analytical model for the parasitic extraction of stretchable interconnects, viz., resistance (R), inductance (L), and capacitance (C), under stretching and bending effects has been novelly proposed. Five different interconnect materials have been considered for the analysis. The analytical model results have been validated with the ANSYS EDA tool. It is investigated that the proposed analytical model results are in very close agreement with the ANSYS results for all the considered cases.

    Prediction of plant diseases is essential to reduce crop loss. Early disease prediction models have been investigated for this purpose, where data on leaf wetness duration (LWD) is one of the key components. Leaf wetness sensors (LWSs) are used to better understand how foliar wetness affects plant disease cycles and epidemic development. LWS can be fabricated on printed circuit boards (PCBs), where interdigitated electrode patterns are widely used. However, it is important to understand the efficacy of these patterns for in-situ measurements. For this purpose, in this work, we have fabricated three different patterns viz. circular, oval, and rectangular on the PCB and tested their efficacy during lab and field measurements. Lab measurements indicate that the circular patterned LWS offers a sensitivity of about 1600% over the dry-to-wet range, which is about 2 and 1.5 times more than oval and rectangular patterns, respectively. Besides this, circular patterned LWS offers the hysteresis of about 2%, whereas the oval and rectangular patterned LWS show about 3% and 7%, respectively. Field measurement results specify that circular patterned LWS and commercial LWS Phytos 31 indicate the same number of LWD events. However, oval and rectangular patterned LWS shows extra false events.
