Wireless electronic circuit for PWB

Development concept

Current mainstream manufacturing process for high-frequency wireless electronic circuit includes arranging antennas, filters, and baluns on a ceramic board and ultimately integrating them onto a PWB.

YKC, on the other hand, proposes the formation of element functions of each part on a PWB right from the beginning (which means that this is not a PWB with integrated components), as opposed to the combination of parts and a PWB.
Fewer parts and fewer implementation steps would enable a faster and less expensive wireless electronic circuit for PWB.
