At GHz speeds, even the cleanest schematic can fall apart if the layout isn’t field-aware. In thin-film circuits, every trace radiates, every gap couples, and parasitic effects can quietly sabotage performance. This guide breaks down what causes crosstalk and parasitics, why thin-film designs are especially vulnerable, and five proven strategies to stop them—before they cost you compliance, yield, or time.

Learn how thin film filters power RF systems with atomic precision—from substrates to ALD, photolithography, and advanced materials.
