Electronic products continue to add functions in smaller packages, even for traditionally large systems such as computer servers and wired telecommunications networks. Multilayer circuits are essential for providing more electronic capabilities in smaller sizes, often relying on highly integrated circuits (ICs) and surface-mount-technology components to…
How Do Material Qualities Differ for HSD Versus mmWave Circuits?
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…
Why Material Selection Matters: Ensuring Quality, Performance, and Reliability in Manufacturing
When it comes to manufacturing high-quality products, material selection is one of the most important decisions you can make. While it may seem like a minor detail, the choice of materials significantly impacts a product’s lifespan, durability, and functionality. Not all materials are created equal,…
