The high frequency PCB must offer following features apart from a good structural build-up. Impedance controlled multilayers<\/li>\n<li>Sandwich buildup for material combinations<\/li>\n<li>Controlled production line<\/li>\n<li>Signal loss tolerance<\/li>\n<li>Heat sinking ability<\/li>\n<li>Operating temperature(temperature expansion, stability over a temperature range)<\/li>\n<li>Production cost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Materials used for creating High frequency PCB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Performance of high-frequency boards used in wireless or other high frequency applications are dependent on materials used for construction. In many applications, FR4 material with an appropriate layer buildup is used with improved dielectric properties. Some of the other materials used for high frequencies boards are listed below:<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<ul>\n<li>Rogers 4350B HF<\/li>\n<li>ISOLA IS620 E-fibre glass<\/li>\n<li>Taconic RF-35 Ceramic<\/li>\n<li>Taconic TLX<\/li>\n<li>Rogers RO3001<\/li>\n<li>Rogers RO3003<\/li>\n<li>ARLON 85N<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Applications of High frequency PCB:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">High frequency PCB&#8217;s are used in the following applications:<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<ul>\n<li>Automotive Radar Systems<\/li>\n<li>Global Positioning Satellite Antennas<\/li>\n<li>Cellular Telecommunications Systems &#8211; Power Amplifiers and Antennas<\/li>\n<li>Direct Broadcast Satellites<\/li>\n<li>E-band Point to Point Microwave Links<\/li>\n<li>RF Identification (RFID) Tags<\/li>\n<li>Airborne and Ground Based Radar Systems<\/li>\n<li>Millimeter Wave Applications<\/li>\n<li>Missile Guidance Systems<\/li>\n<li>Space Satellite Transceivers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\">The demand for high frequency PCB is catching up in the various industrial vectors.\u00a0 If you are still skeptical about incorporating high frequency PCBs in your electronic circuits, you can always approach an industry expert in Rigiflex.
