Isola Exhibits RF/Microwave Laminates at IMS Show in Boston
June 3, 2019 | Isola GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Isola Group, the leading global and local manufacturer of copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepregs for use in the PCB boards announces it will exhibit at the IMS Exhibition June 4-7, 2019 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, MA. Isola will display in booth #360.
“Microwave Week presents an excellent opportunity for fabricators to explore the unique RF/Microwave products manufactured by Isola,” commented Sean Mirshafiei, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer. “Our low Dk, low Df products are being widely used in the industry and generating a lot of excitement. For example, our ultra-low loss Astra® MT77 laminate is designed for 77+ GHz radar applications. It is the best price and best performance Teflon replacement material currently on the market. And, Isola’s I-Tera MT40 laminate is an exciting, high performance material for 24-77+ GHz radar and RF/Microwave applications."
Isola will showcase these two materials in addition to their successful TerraGreen laminate, the industry’s first very low loss halogen-free material and their best performing antenna-grade material—IS680 AG. Insulectro, Isola’s North American distributor, will supply support during the show with its product managers and field application engineers in attendance.
The annual IMS Exhibition is held in conjunction with the IMS, RFIC, and ARFTG technical symposia and brings all segments of the microwave community together. It is the premier international gathering for anyone involved in technologies associated with RF, microwave, millimeter-wave, and THz frequencies.
“We invite all attendees looking for high-performance, value-laden laminates to visit us in Booth #360. Our knowledgeable materials experts and engineers look forward to discussing your needs and our solutions,” Mirshafiei concluded.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
