In the Texas Instruments technical article, “How low-power 60GHz mmWave radar sensors enable high-precision sensing in more applications,” we discussed how 60GHz millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar sensors enable high-precision sensing in industrial and consumer electronics applications. In this article, we will explore how low-power 77GHz radar sensors can help achieve reliable and accurate sensing in other challenging applications....

Electrical performance consistency is critical for producing high-volume printed circuit boards (PCBs). As PCB applications move to higher frequencies, such as fifth-generation (5G) cellular wireless networks at millimeter-wave frequencies and 77 GHz automotive radar, any inconsistencies on the PCB become very noticeable, especially when the circuits operate at shorter wavelengths of millimeter-wave frequencies. There will always be...

Overview of PCB high-frequency board material selection and production and processing methods

1. Definition of PCB high frequency board High-frequency boards refer to special circuit boards with higher electromagnetic frequencies. They are used in high-frequency (frequency greater than 300MHz or wavelength less than 1 meter) and microwave (frequency greater than 3GHZ or wavelength less than 0.1 meter) PCBs. They are produced on microwave-based copper-clad boards using some of the...

Long-term reliability of high-frequency circuit materials and printed circuit boards

As complexity and density increase, the long-term reliability of RF/microwave circuit components becomes more difficult to characterize. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) contain many active and passive components whose performance changes over time and over operating ambient temperature. In addition, the substrate materials of the PCB, such as the dielectric, copper foil conductors, solder mask, and final plating,...

Copper Foils for High Frequency circuit board Materials

Copper foils, for the wide range of Rogers’ high frequency circuit substrates, are designed to provide optimum performance in high reliability applications. There are various types of copper foil are offered; in a range of weights (thicknesses). Their characteristics differ, and an understanding of these differences is important to ensure the correct selection of copper...
