PREPERM® On AWR Design Forum Tour
Want to know how to improve antenna performance? Join the PREPERM® and AWR Design Forum tour! The AWR Design Forum (ADF) is an annual, free-to-attend event which brings together the NI AWR software community of users to learn, network, and collaborate on the design issues facing today's microwave/RF circuit/system designers.
We demonstrate how you can improve performance, reduce size and optimize design with RF PCB Design software and the right material choices.

Premix presentation at the events
Why you need new dielectric materials to succeed in the 5G race?
To obtain the envisioned 1000-fold capacity increase of next-generation wireless networks, 5G needs many new frequency bands, smaller cells as well as denser frequency reuse. These requirements put totally new demands on the materials used in the base stations and mobile devices.
Since the material losses increase with increasing frequency, it is not crucial to consider the dielectric losses on Sub-6 GHz frequency bands, but this is not true at mmWaves. A high- and low-loss material, which at 2.4 GHz might give almost the same performance, will be very different at 70 GHz in favor of the low-loss material.
The frequency reuse necessitates improved MIMO antenna systems, which in turn needs materials with stable and tightly controlled dielectric properties as well as consistent performance in all use conditions and good moldability. To achieve this, accurate processes are required in quality control and in characterization of the dielectric properties. Also, material properties at mmWaves is mandatory when designing RF components at these frequencies.
In this presentation, effects of material losses are shown in very concrete ways via industrial examples.
