While rigid polymers are typically used for this because of their conductive and wireless properties, Avient has found additional value in low signal loss technology within its thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio. a) what effect do thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulations have on the attenuation (energy absorption) of a signal ranging from 20-45 GHz? b) what effect does the varying thickness of those TPE materials have on the attenuation (energy absorption) of a signal ranging from 20-45 GHz?
