Abstract

A component for high-frequency technology or for the microwave range and millimeter wave range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The component contains a liquid-crystal compound of the formula Iin which the parameters have the respective meanings given in the claims or in the text, or a liquid-crystal medium which itself comprises one or more compounds of this formula I. Also, the corresponding, novel liquid-crystal media, the use and preparation thereof, and the production and use of the components. The components are particularly suitable as phase shifters in the microwave and millimeter wave range, for microwave and millimeter wave array antennae and very particularly for so-called tuneable reflectarrays.
