Dassault Electronique (Thales) did a 2-year study of OhmegaPly® for an active phased array antenna (X-band). The resistors were used in a stripline configuration a PTFE substrate (Rogers RT Duroid® 6002 and fusion bonded inside a multilayer package). OhmegaPly® was compared to chip resistors and screen-printed polymer inks. OhmegaPly® was selected for use due to superior tolerance, stability and space saving, parasitic reduction, and solder joint removal (compared to chip resistors).
The results of testing are as follows:
