Abstract
An electronic device includes a standard dielectric material and a lossy material integrated with the standard dielectric material to selectively control the distributed resistance of the standard dielectric material. The lossy material may be inserted into the standard dielectric material. The inserted material may be resistive particles, carbon particles, open cell conductive foam, carbon impregnated open cell conductive foam, and the like. The lossy material may also be a loss inducing physical structure attached to the standard dielectric material. The loss inducing physical structure may be a planar resistive layer attached to the standard dielectric material. The planar resistive layer may have an extended surface to attenuate high frequency signals.
