CCTC is a leading radar PCB in the domestic, and has deep understanding to high-difficulty millimeter wave radar PCB. Mr. Yuan shared his in-depth suggestions to PCB design, processing and base material selection.

Product Launch

Millimeter wave radar is the eyes of autonomous driving. Besides high reliability performance in automotive electronics, PCB base material also need to support 5G and millimeter wave applications. To better meet the industry development and customers'requirements, SYTECH has been striving in the automotive electronics and 5G material for years, designed and developed mmWave77, a special base material for 77GHz-79GHz automotive millimeter wave radar, which will bring more values to the customers.

Mrs. Scarlet Wang, Marketing Director of SYTECH Group introduced mmWave77, SYTECH's flagship material for millimeter wave radar, and shared SYTECH’s development in base materials for automotive electronics.

mmWave77 is a non-glass cloth reinforced, ceramic filler-added PTFE material, with excellent electrical performance, Dk 3.0+/-0.04, Df 0.001@10GHz (stripline test method), design Dk 3.06 @77GHz. It also has great stability of high and low temperature under high frequency and high temperature aging, better loss performance compared to foreign benchmark material.

06 PCB Base Material and Processing's Key Influences on Millimeter Wave Circuit Design

Mr. Zhu Yongming, Senior Testing Engineer of SYTECH, introduced the connections of millimeter wave circuit design and PCB base material thickness selection, thickness tolerance, and loss through product testing and electrical property simulation. He also shared SYTECH's research in 77GHz millimeter wave circuit design, testing and material design.

07 Automotive Millimeter Wave Antenna PCB Processing Technical Difficulties and Case Studies

Mr. Wang Lifeng, Customer Service Manager of SYTECH, starts from his abundant PCB technical service experience, analyzes and summarizes common problems and solutions in automotive millimeter wave PTFE material PCB processing.

Roundtable Meeting

Mr. Zhou Yushan, Secretary General of SAE host the roundtable meeting. He had in-depth discussion with elites from the automotive radar industry chain, exploring relevant testing and qualification, mass production and cooperation mode.

Mr. Chen, CEO of SYTECH Group, explained the necessity of supply chain localization base on supply risks, trade environment and relevant factors. SYTECH is dedicated to supplying customers with satisfied products and services, especially in automotive autonomous driving and millimeter wave radar materials. SYTECH is devoted to the domestic electronic industry development and always puts customer first.

Professor Bai Jie from 3sRadar puts forwards the key replacement logic from the perspective of cost and cooperation, which is worthy of consideration.

Mr. Liang Weiqiang, Director of GAC R&D Center explained that stability and reliability are the key points from automotive OEM. Meanwhile, GAC is also developing automotive components as localization plan. He warmly welcomes millimeter wave radar companies to cooperate.

Mr. Jiang Hong, Director of Texas Instrument believed that radar is a huge potential market. Besides cooperation with OEM, he also looks forward to cooperation with PCB and SYTECH, together to develop the domestic market.

Mr. Yuan Huanxin, Project Director of CCTC, highly recognizes SYTECH's investment in millimeter equipment and base material R&D, and expects win-win cooperation in the domestic industry chain to break international blockade.
