Dielectric Uniformity and Manufacturing Precision of PTFE PCBs for Aerospace Communication Equipment
November 12, 2025by kkpcb020
1. Engineering Overview
Modern aerospace RF communication equipment, including satellite transceivers and spaceborne antenna modules, demands ultra-low-loss PTFE PCBs with tight dielectric uniformity and precise manufacturing tolerances. Small variations in Dk or CTE can lead to phase drift, impedance mismatch, and degraded link margin in Ku/Ka-band RF payloads.
PTFE PCB laminates, with Dk = 2.1 ± 0.02 and Df = 0.0008 @10GHz, provide consistent dielectric properties under extreme thermal cycling (–55°C to +125°C) and vacuum conditions. KKPCB’s hybrid stackup and controlled lamination ensure high-frequency signal integrity, phase stability, and long-term operational reliability.

I would say that speaks for itself.In case any of my fellow German speakers would like to check out the (pretty technical) NAOMI4Radar project final reports that the three consortium members - Mercedes-Benz, TWT GmbH Science & Innovation and Uni Lübeck - were obliged to submit due to having received public funding for their project: the “Schlussberichte” have now been uploaded to RENATE (Repositorium für Naturwissenschaften und Technik), which also “serves as the repository for the publication of reports to federally funded research projects”.
While there is both a German and an English version of the accompanying one-page document below, all the final reports are in German only. Each of the three consortium partners submitted an individual report to what was formerly known as Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action that had funded 56% of the total 900,000 € project costs (cf. page 15 of https://www.bundeswirtschaftsminist...projektsteckbrief-automatisiertes-fahren.pdf?)
In addition, a more extensive joint report by all three consortium members was also submitted - that’s the one, which I have linked below. Note that while they collaborated with both Intel (who provided the physical Loihi 2 hardware as well as technical support) and Infineon (who provided the front radar and assisted with its integration), those two companies were not consortium members themselves and didn’t receive any of the public funding. Neither was TU München/Munich, whom the consortium also collaborated with.
By the end of their 15 month long project (1 June 2024 - 31 August 2025) titled NAOMI4Radar (Neuromorphic Algorithms for Optimizing Automotive Radar Sensor Processing in Autonomous Vehicles), the researchers had reached TRL* 7 as planned, which is defined as “System prototype demonstration in operational environment”. At the start of the project, their research was considered as being TRL 3.
*TRL = Technology Readiness Level - the highest on the scale is TRL 9.
By the way, Akida gets a mention, too, but not - as one would expect - in the context of the Vision EQXX (page 8):
German original:
“Neuromorphic Computing
Bereits im Konzeptfahrzeug Vision EQXX wurde die Leistungsfähigkeit neuromorpher Ansätze zur Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz demonstriert. Um die Technologie weiterzuentwickeln, arbeitet Mercedes-Benz eng mit Startups, Forschungseinrichtungen und Studierenden zusammen. Dies unterstreicht die Bedeutung von Neuromorphic Computing für das Unternehmen und dessen zukünftige Fahrzeugarchitekturen.”
Translation into English (done by DeepL & refined by Frangipani):
“Neuromorphic computing
The capability of neuromorphic approaches to improve energy efficiency has already been demonstrated in the Vision EQXX concept car. Mercedes-Benz is working closely with start-ups, research institutions and university students to further develop the technology. This emphasises the importance of neuromorphic computing for the company and its future vehicle architectures.”
Instead, BrainChip and Akida get mentioned towards the end (page 35), in a paragraph describing other entities’ progress in this field of research (= radar data processing) that was revealed during the duration of the NAOMI4Radar project.
For the German original, see below.
English translation:
“During the course of the project, it became known that in the US BrainChip Holdings, together with Raytheon, had been awarded a contract for neuromorphic radar processing by the Air Force Research Laboratory. The aim of the project is to implement complex signal processing algorithms, in particular micro-Doppler signature analysis, on neuromorphic hardware. BrainChip's Akida processors offer ultra-low energy consumption and are suitable for high-performance signal processing on energy- and space-constrained platforms such as drones or other mobile systems. The project underlines the growing interest in neuromorphic technology for real-time applications in radar and AI in both the military and commercial sectors.”

"3.4 Presentation of progress in this field at other institutions that became known during the project
During the project, it became known that BrainChip Holdings in the USA, together with Raytheon, had received an order from the Air Force Research Laboratory for neuromorphic radar processing. The aim of the project is to implement complex signal processing algorithms, in particular micro-Doppler signature analysis, on neuromorphic hardware. BrainChip's Akida processors offer ultra-low power consumption and are suitable for high-performance signal processing on energy- and space-constrained platforms such as drones or other mobile systems. The project underscores the growing interest in neuromorphic technology for real-time applications in radar and communications in both the military and commercial sectors."

Its interesting that Sean said in the recent 'promo' interview that traditional radar was not a fit for Drones. Couple that with adaptive on chip learning. That gives us a big opening in that arena.In case any of my fellow German speakers would like to check out the (pretty technical) NAOMI4Radar project final reports that the three consortium members - Mercedes-Benz, TWT GmbH Science & Innovation and Uni Lübeck - were obliged to submit due to having received public funding for their project: the “Schlussberichte” have now been uploaded to RENATE (Repositorium für Naturwissenschaften und Technik), which also “serves as the repository for the publication of reports to federally funded research projects”.

Must be another pump and dump as I can’t think of any other explanation for such a massive price increase, maybe we might get another speeding ticket.Oh… it went 0,8 cents up to18.3 cents…

I’m sure something is brewing behind closed doors… this massive buy side in the morning indicates leaked insider knowledge… did NVIDIA invest in Lego to build smart Lego products at the edge using Akida via intel foundry?

For all the whingers on these forums who hold Droneshield up as an example of where or what we should be, check them out this morning.
Love their Directors.

Yeah, that’s exactly what you wrote in the crapper… but when I read it, I kept asking myself: why are we supposed to look at a stock that’s falling right now?
When it was rising, a lot of people made a decent profit from it. So why shouldn’t we compare ourselves with stocks that are going up? Why do we always have to point at the falling share prices of other companies? We’re already deep enough in the red as it is…
Is our ambition now really to justify our pathetic red numbers and talk ourselves into being “fine” with our current share price?
I don’t think so.
So there’s 3 routes for revenue resulting from this 1500 tapeout
So 1 & 2 could also apply for the Akida 2 asic tapeout planned for q1 2026.
This just shows how flexible and willing the company is to listen to feedback and give the customers what they want. Perks of being a minnow I guess.
- The actual 1500 chip sales though may be very small at this stage looking at the number of chips being produced.
- Customers who wanna verify the 1500 functionality in silicon and tweak the plans for their own chips and get an IP license ( so that’s royalties from 1500 IP)
- BRN wanna build bespoke modules from these chips and then sell them as complete AI solutions to customers who want that.
So 1 & 2 could also apply for the Akida 2 asic tapeout planned for q1 2026.

So why do you continue to hold BRN.?
Must be some sort of masochist.

LOTS OF BRAINCHIP SHARESYOU MUST BE PISSED OFF THEN, AS WE SIT AT 0.175.........FAKE NEWS, SO FULL OF SHIT.
Updated my stock disclosure for you Tech!
And on a side note. Not sure why I’d be pissed with the current share price. Been a great trading stock to allow me to pick up more of your shares when you sell them to pay the bills

Why is your sentiment on crapper “buy” and insult me by calling me masochist?
Must be a psychopath? Just a simple question

Some people are so deeply rooted in Brainchip that they take simple opinions as if you were insulting them personally… it’s completely beyond their reality that an investor might actually expect their investment to grow instead of shrink. I call it the FF syndrome
Fine then, be satisfied with this ridiculous share price – but at the same time stop spreading positive news, otherwise it might accidentally rise out of the blue… and you wouldn’t want that, would you?
And personally insulting someone just because you don’t like their answer really shows a strong character as well.
Sarcasm off.

I continue to hold BRN and keep buying whenever I can, just like yesterday when I bought some more shares. I'm hoping next I'll be a millionaire. Oh yeah, baby! Let's go, BrainChip! Now, Sean! Now!
