Isola’s Astra MT77 product enables RF/MW designers to get similar electrical performance traditionally associated with ceramic-filled PTFE systems. The laminate material is a tightly controlled and very low dielectric constant of 3.0, an ultra-low dissipation factor of 0.0017, as well as using the very…
Materials Meet Needs of Millimeter-Wave 5G Small Cells
Fifth Generation (5G) networks offer extensive wireless services with even faster data rates to come. Most of the systems have been based on signals below 6 GHz. Once network coverage has been achieved at higher, millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies of 24 GHz and higher,…
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…
