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…
Why Material Selection Matters: Ensuring Quality, Performance, and Reliability in Manufacturing
When it comes to manufacturing high-quality products, material selection is one of the most important decisions you can make. While it may seem like a minor detail, the choice of materials significantly impacts a product’s lifespan, durability, and functionality. Not all materials are created equal,…
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…
