Abstract

Dielectric constant ε_r and broadband dielectric loss tan δ measurements were performed for the thermoplastic toughened cyanate ester printed circuit board CYTUF material. Characterization of tan δ over the 1-8 GHz frequency range was made using a simple short-pulse propagation technique. All the measurements were taken on four-metal-layer, 23×36 cm cards with representative transmission line structures. It was found the ε_r=3.48-3.64 and tan δ=0.0095-0.01, which are much lower than for standard FR-4 material. The impact of improved characteristics on wireability is analyzed through simulations of representative printed circuit board interconnections
