Flexible Circuit Technologies, design and manufacturing

Applications

Rigid Flex Antenna

There are two fundamental structural applications that must be understood about the flexible component of a rigid flex:

Static Application - an application where flex circuits are needed only to install the circuit and fit it into its application (also known as flex-to-fit or flex-to-install).
Dynamic Flexing Applications - a situation where the flex circuit area itself is dynamically flexed for any number of reasons above and beyond a simple install.

It will be key to understand some background on rigid flex circuits:

Advances in rigid circuit board technology has broadened the applications on electronic products from computer, communication, and consumer electronics, to automotive, medical, and military electronics.
Increasing demand for more powerful and smaller products drives the need for multiple layers to accommodate denser, finer line width and spacing and smaller hole sizes.
