One of the oldest and most important tasks of mankind is the transmission of information and data.

Information is typically transmitted as modulation on RF and microwave carrier frequencies.  Demand for high bit rates continues to grow for television, broadcasting, wireless and data transmission.  As signal frequencies and data rates continue to increase, the performance requirements for circuit boards and minimizing losses become more stringent.

Satellite communication systems impose special demands on the performance, size and weight of ceramic circuit boards.  Space qualification and reliability are of decisive importance in these components.

The AFT solution:  Space-qualified thin film ceramic circuit boards made for customer-specific requirements in both gold and copper-based conductor technology.

AFT coordinates with customers the advice on circuit board design and the review of all options and operating conditions.  Together with our customers we develop new state-of-the-art technologies to remain at the forefront in this high technology market.

In addition to our ceramic circuit board capability we also produce very small substrate-based ferrite circulators with low losses and high reliability.
