“…Furthermore, millimeter-wavelength radio waves suffer from high attenuation, leading to significant signal-quality losses [ 14 , 15 ], which can be overcome by installing a large number of beamforming antennas (an array of antennas that controls the direction of the wavefront), but this requires high-quality insulating materials with low D k , low D f , poor water absorptivity, and good adhesiveness to maintain high-level substrate wiring (referred to as “flexible copper-clad laminates”). A few materials are suitable for 5G/6G applications, including polytetrafluoroethylenes (PTFEs), some ceramics, and liquid-crystalline polymers (LCPs) [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. However, these materials suffer from their own drawbacks: for instance, ceramic materials require high-energy procedures (longer, high-temperature processing).…”
