Base Materials for Printed Circuit Boards in Aerospace Applications
Printed circuit boards have become an integral part of modern electronics. They have evolved from a pure component carrier to an active and important electronic component in their own right. The use of high-frequency materials in particular opens up new possibilities in radar technology or…
How Do Material Qualities Differ for HSD Versus mmWave Circuits?
Growing use of millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies for applications such as automotive radars, Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks, and satellite communications (satcom) mandates careful selection of printed-circuit-board (PCB) materials specially formulated to transmit signals at frequencies to 70 GHz and higher. At the same time, digital…
