Choosing the Right Material for Your RF PCB Designs One of the earliest decisions in an RF design is material selection. Many RF designs begin on standard FR-4 because of its availability and cost advantages, but as operating frequency increases, material properties start having a greater impact on performance. The challenge is determining when FR-4 […]
