Additional Information:

Comparison of regular PTFE and low-density PTFE:

	Regular PTFE Dielectric	Low-density Dielectric
Mechanical Stability vs. Temperature	Poor	Good Lower coefficient of thermal expansion results in improved dimensional stability from -100°C to +250°C.
Phase Stability vs. Temperature	Poor	Good Lower coefficient of thermal expansion results in lower Phase Shift vs. Temperature.
Change in Propagation Time vs. Temperature	Poor	Improved The change in propagation time 70 - 80% less than when using solid PTFE.
Attenuation	Higher	Lower Lower dissipation factor of the dielectric, lower dielectric constant, larger center conductor result in lower attenuation.
Power Handling	Lower	Higher Good temperature stability allows higher operating temperature, and therefore higher power.
Weight	Higher	Lower Low density dielectric results in lower weight.
