How Do Material Qualities Differ For HSD Versus MmWave Circuits James Francey

Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are gaining in popularity. Printed-circuit-board (PCB) materials are essential components for these vehicles; reliable circuits are needed to keep EVs and HEVs on the road. Raw circuit materials are key components in any EV or HEV, whether…

Signal Integrity Journal recently caught up with Jeff Waters to check in on his progress over the last two years since he took over as president and CEO of Isola Group discussing improvements in their operations and new products.

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…
