The Impact Plated Finishes have on RF PCB Performance at Millimeter-Wave Frequencies

July 17, 2019

There are many different plated finishes used in the PCB industry and each have their own set of capabilities.  The different plated finishes are used for many different reasons, however there has been limited information in the industry for how these finishes can impact circuit performance at millimeter-wave frequencies. This video shows an overview of multiple studies, where many different final plated finishes were evaluated for RF performance at millimeter-wave frequencies.
