ULTRA-THIN, HIGHLY FLEXIBLE RF CABLES
H. BURKARD, U. BRUNNER, K. KURZ, J. LINK

Abstract. HiCoFlex is a technology for producing flexible multilayer substrates, resulting in foil-like circuits. The extension into high frequency applications, loss measurements on coplanar waveguides, extensions with LCP foils and benzocyclobutene (BCB) are described. Applications are very thin, highly flexible RF cables e.g. between submodules for telecommunication and opto-electronics.
