High-frequency PCBs have a complex structure due to their precision and specialized applications, making material selection and design layout critical. To minimize energy loss and signal delay, these boards typically use low-loss, low-dielectric-constant materials such as PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), high-frequency FR-4 laminates, or Rogers RO4000 series.
