Electrical characterization of low-cost glass/epoxy laminates at millimeter wave frequencies

We describe the characterization of low-cost glass/epoxy laminates at millimeter-wave frequencies up to 110 GHz. We characterize the loss, dielectric constant and Fiber-Weave-Effect properties of 3 such laminates. We also demonstrate several test cases of transitions at E-band and D-band frequencies (up to 130 GHz) designed with these laminates, showing excellent perform ance.
