Menlo Micro Alleviates Product Design And Test Feedback Cycle Bottlenecks With Low-Loss Dielectric Fixturing

Menlo Micro, a leader in innovative electronic switch technology, faced significant challenges in the development and testing of their RF and DC switches. The need to achieve precise measurements and overcome manufacturing hurdles threatened to impede their progress. Traditional machined fixtures were unable to provide the necessary combination of dielectric, thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties, resulting in signal interference and inaccurate test results.

This case study explores how Menlo Micro, in collaboration with Fortify, utilized Rogers Radix™ printable dielectric fixtures to address these bottlenecks. By leveraging Fortify’s advanced manufacturing capabilities, Menlo Micro successfully validated their switch performance, accelerated their product development cycle, and maintained their mission to create a more energy-efficient and sustainable world.
