Taconic RF-45 High Frequency Circuit Materials
Introduction
Taconic RF-45 is made of a ceramic-filled PTFE resin laminate reinforced with woven fiberglass. Taconic RF-45 is a kind of low loss laminate alternative to FR-4, dielectric constant (DK) flat over temperature and DF is stable over frequency.
Typical Applications
GPS Antennas
RFID Antennas
