October 2010 [Materials] Lasers Carve MM-Wave Circuits Millimeter-wave frequencies represent largely uncharted bandwidth. Hoping to explore the region further, Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics, named after Joseph von Fraunhofer who investigated the properties of visible light as early as 1820, has enlisted the aid of a ProtoLaser S system from laser-machining specialist LPKF... January 2005 [Systems & Subsystems] Laser-Based System Speeds PCB Prototypes Microwave printed-circuit board (PCB) prototypes can be quickly and cost-effectively produced in-house by means of any number of commercial mechanical milling machines or chemical etching. A faster and more accurate approach, however, is to perform the etching and machining by laser. That is the approach used in the new ProtoLaser 100 system from LPKF Laser & Electronics (Wilsonville, OR), which can mill and drill both laminated ceramic materials and soft substrate materials such as... |
