It seems like only yesterday, but Fifth Generation (5G) cellular networks have been making wireless connections for almost four years. Already, some of the major carriers and test-equipment developers are looking ahead to around 2029 or 2030 and the expected start of Sixth Generation (6G)…
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,…
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…
