Thermocomp thermoplastic-based materials offer Df down to 0.001, and a range of Dk from 3 to 13.9, depending on frequency requirements. For transmission conditions from 900MHz to3GHz and beyond, as in base station antennas. Are designed to replace ceramics and PCBs. Are said to offer dimensional stability and low friction, flame resistance and stable Dk within climate conditions ranging from –40C to +55C with 55% humidity. Are capable of complex geometries and miniaturization.
