RF circuits have moved from large
mil-aero applications into a rapidly growing range of commercial products. Smaller boards with RF/microwave circuits on-board are substantially more complex, requiring a PCB manufacturer with Summit’s expertise.
High-speed characteristics
RF/microwave signals are highly sensitive to the impact of noise, crosstalk, and power.
There are many considerations when integrating RF onto PCBs, including tight-component densities, multiple surface finish possibilities, board thickness considerations, wide ranges of reliability requirements, and even substrate-material choices. In addition, RF/microwave designs can require special manufacturing equipment. Fortunately, Summit has made significant investment in the equipment and field application engineering experience required for accurately manufacturing these PCBs.
