Communications satellite antennas require materials of construction that do not attenuate or distort radio waves being transmitted and received. Particularly in high-frequency transmission, RF interference can affect signal integrity and potentially cause loss of important data. Ultem 1000 PEI, a high-performance polymer, has gained wide recognition as

Every component is evaluated, including the numerous small parts of systems where saving a few grams can add up to a significant total weight reduction. At the same time, it is essential that reliability and functional
