PCB Material Selection For RF, Microwave And Millimeter Wave Designs

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.

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…
