Metal Cored PCB
Teledyne Labtech is at the forefront of complex metal-cored PCB design and manufacture. The PCB use a thin metal core <2 mm, which acts as isolation between the RF/Microwave circuit and the Analogue/Digital circuitry and creates an excellent thermal path.
The major advantages are reduced size and no need for complex microwave feed-thru's. The ability to laser cut pockets allows the designer engineer to mount the high power MMIC directly on to the metal core.
