New Materials Combined with Advanced Technology

High-frequency electronic devices are currently evolving at a dizzying pace, and particularly in the field of wireless communication.  therefore, in the development of new products, emphasis is placed on the usage of materials suitable for work at high frequencies, above 1 GHz. Traditionally, high-frequency PCB’s are designed or manufactured using Polyfluortetraethylene (PTFE)-based materials, which is better known by its trade name Teflon®. In fact, presently there is a very wide variety of materials based on glass epoxy resin that can be suitable for the manufacture of PCB’s for diverse fields of high-frequency works.
