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.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
