Rogers RT/duroid 5870 is a high frequency material that consists of glass microfiber reinforced PTFE composites. It is designed for stripline and microstrip circuit applications that require high precision. The dielectric constant of RT/duroid 5870 exhibits an exceptional uniformity, and this is attributed to the randomly oriented microfibers it contains. This dielectric constant is uniform from one panel to another and remains constant across a wide range of frequencies.
The low dissipation factor of RT/duroid 5870 makes it suitable for use in the Ku-band and beyond. It is easy to cut, shear, and machine RT/duroid 5870 into different shapes. It shows excellent resistance to all solvents and reagents, both hot and cold, which are usually involved in operations such as etching printed circuits or plating the edges and holes of circuit boards.
Common applications of RT/duroid 5870 include but are not limited to commercial airline broadband antennas, microstrip circuits, stripline circuits, millimeter wave applications, military radar systems, missile guidance systems, and point-to-point digital radio antennas. |
