This material is inexpensive to process – improving your company's bottom line, as well as the environment. ► The revolutionary Astra ® MT ultra low-loss thermoset laminates are a replacement for PTFE. These materials have been used for hybrid applications with Isola's 185HR and 370HR products. RF Conversion Service ► Isola's Design Review Service can facilitate your conversion to Isola's RF/microwave products and get you to market faster with the newest, ultra-low-loss materials. ► As part of this new service, Isola's technical staff will provide turn-key calculations, testing, characterizations and material recommendations to assist PCB fabricators and OEMs in converting to Isola's RF-materials, which will help overcome the current material shortages of other vendors and accelerate time-to-market. The design review service will also address the perceived conversion issues when migrating from a currently used material to an Isola material. http://www.isola-group.com/conversion-service FREE! Impedance and Power-Handling Calculator ► Isola's free Impedance and Power-Handling Calculator predicts the design attributes for microstrips and striplines based on the design's target impedance and dielectric properties of the company's RF, microwave and millimeter-wave laminate materials. ► This software tool provides a design or an equivalent dielectric constant to facilitate modeling for PCB designers to predict impedance and other design attributes. The software computes changes in the effective dielectric constant due to dispersion at higher frequencies. The software then computes the total insertion loss – a measure of power lost through heat for power handling calculations, including the dielectric loss, conductor loss, and the loss due to the surface roughness. The main factors affecting the typical power-handling capability of a material are its thermal conductivity, the maximum operating temperature, and the total insertion loss. https://isodesign.isola-group.com/phi-calculator Isola, I-Tera, TerraGreen, Astra and IsoDesign and the Isola logo are registered trademarks of ISOLA USA Corp. in the U.S.A. and other countries.
