Michael,

low cost PTFE/woven glass base materials are TLC-30 (DK 3.0), TLC-32 (DK 3.2), and RF-35 (DK 3.5) from
Taconic. All of them are used at the frequency range you described.

Please contact us off-line to discuss further.

Regards

I would like to know the options available, as far as board
material/conductor and its
 characteristics, for an application involving frequencies ranging from
500mhz to 2ghz (with the upper
 limit (2ghz) being more of a concern). Intentions are to emphasize
microstrip matching at higher
 frequencies (2ghz) and lumped component matching at lower frequencies
(500mhz). Basically, what
 works the best and is cheap.

 Thank you for your cooperation.
