Comparison

• High-performance, low-loss RF and millimeter wave passive devices that can be integrated and embedded in printed circuit boards
• Uses air as the primary dielectric – reduces dielectric losses
• Has smooth conducting surfaces – reduces resistive losses
• Allows very high aspect ratio conductors for dramatically improved Q-Factor
• Can be used for transmission lines, waveguides, inductors, resonators, filters, antennas and more.
• Can be used to build complicated passive structures in arbitrary combinations
• Near perfect surfaces and geometry simplifies and increases the accuracy of 3D electromagnetic modeling
• Reduces cost – designed primarily for volume production
