Product Information
A high frequency printed circuit board, whether it’s rigid or flex, offers faster signal flow rates and a frequency range of up to 100 GHz. It’s important to note that there are numerous materials designed to operate at high frequency levels. HF PCBs are defined by lower dielectric constant (Dk), lower dissipation factor (Df), and low levels of thermal expansion. They are used regularly for HDI technology. They are also used extensively in high speed communications, telecommunications, and RF microwave technology.
Depending on the parameters, the HF signal is reflected on the circuit board, which means that the impedance (dynamic resistance) changes relative to the transmitting component. To avoid such capacitive effects, all parameters must be specified accurately and implemented with the highest level of process control.
Applications for High Frequency PCB
High frequency printed circuit boardis are widely used for special signal transmission between objects. It operates from 500MHz to 2GHz and is right for mobile, microwave, RF and high-speed design applications. With the increasing complexity of electronic components and switches, faster signal flow and better transmission frequency are needed. High frequency PCB can play a really important role.Due to the short rise time of the pulse in electronic components, it is necessary to consider the conductor width as an electronic component in HF technology.
The Necessity of Using High Frequency PCB
High-frequency PCBs usually provide a frequency range from 500MHz to 2 GHz, which can meet the needs of high-speed PCB designs, microwave, radio frequency, and mobile applications. When the frequency is above 1 GHz, we can define it as high frequency.
- The complexity of electronic components and switches is continually increasing nowadays and need faster signal flow rates. So, higher transmission frequencies are required. High-frequency PCBs help a lot when integrating special signal requirements into electronic components and products with advantages like high efficiency, and fast speed, lower attenuation, and constant dielectric properties.
- High Frequency (HF) PCB is used to transmit electromagnetic waves in the frequency of GHz with minimal loses in the variety of applications, including mobile, microwave, radio frequency (RF) and high-speed design applications. Hence, printed circuit boards with some specific characteristics are used to transmit these electromagnetic waves. Several parameters are taken into considerations while designing a PCB for high frequency applications.
- A high frequency PCB can meet your needs when incorporating a special signal requirement into your electronic devices and products. These higher transmission frequencies are capable of supporting the faster signal flow rates that are a necessity in today’s increasingly complex electronic switches and other components.
