E-Week 2016 | High-Performance RF Material
Presented by: Ed Sandor (Taconic) and Lee Klaus (Cain-Forlaw)
This presentation will provide an overview of printed circuit board material systems, covering the differences in electrical (dielectric constant, dissipation factor) and mechanical (moisture absorption, glass transition temperature, Z axis CTE, etc.) properties of various material systems. It will also focus on the best materials for high power amplifiers typically used in broadcast equipment. Part of the GatesAir Connect Lunch and Learn series. Presented by Ed Sandor, Applications Engineering Manager of Taconic, and Lee Klaus, Sales Engineer for Cain-Forlaw
