Next-generation 5G communications solutions require ultra-low loss laminate materials and PCBs/substrates for efficient design and manufacturing. However, these materials pose challenges. On such challenge is that there is no consistent methodology for measuring transmission loss or Df/Dk, especially for higher frequencies (e.g., >30 GHz). Many different approaches are currently used, requiring different fixtures and test methods, sample preparation, and/or data analysis/extraction.
iNEMI’s 5G/mmWave Materials Assessment and Characterization project was organized to develop guidelines/best practices for a standardized measurement and test methodology for 5G/mmWave frequencies that can be shared with industry and relevant standards organizations. The 26-member project team conducted three major studies and published a report on each:
- Benchmark current industry best practices for low loss measurements
- Benchmark emerging industry best practices for low loss measurements
- Determine measurement accuracies of commercial resonator-based techniques
Join us for this end-of-project webinar where we will recap the key findings from this significant body of work and discuss further plans. For additional information, contact Urmi Ray (urmi.ray@inemi.org).
