Selecting PCB Materials for High-Frequency Applications
Apr 21, 2021|Product Innovations and Design, Technological Advancements and Materials
Printed-circuit Boards (PCBs) are at the heart of the modern world, allowing electricity to flow through our devices in the way it needs to make them work. There are many of them in every computer, every radio, and even every digital clock. There are many different types of PCBs, including single-sided PCBs, double-sided PCBs, rigid PCBs, flexible PCBs, and aluminum-backed PCBs....
