PCB Substrate Characterization At Multigigahertz Frequencies Through SIW Measurements

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)…

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…

Chandler, Arizona, January 22, 2019: Isola Group, a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepreg materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), today announced that its SVP and General Counsel, Mike Rafford, was an award finalist for this year’s General…
