PCB Measurements Materials Testing

When dielectric materials limit high-speed performance

Use our broadband material testing services to

1. •acquire accurate design parameters
   

2. •separate dielectric loss from total loss
   

3. •verify new materials or processes
   

4. •qualify material suppliers
   

You provide test materials; we do the rest.

We perform dielectric materials testing & qualification (1 kHz - 20 GHz) over temperature & humidity profiles.

You will receive permittivity results as dielectric constant (Dk) and loss factor (Df) at the desired frequency up to 20 GHz.

The quality of our material testing is traceable to national institutes of standards. Our staff have national metrology lab experience and chair the IPC High-Speed/High-Frequency Test Method Subcommittees.
