Rogers RT/duroid 5870 is a high frequency material made of glass microfiber reinforced PTFE composites. It is engineered for demanding stripline and microstrip circuit applications. The uniformity of its dielectric constant, which is quite exceptional, stems from the randomly oriented microfibers within it. The dielectric constant of RT/duroid 5870 shows uniformity across different panels and maintains constancy over a wide spectrum of frequencies. Moreover, its low dissipation factor allows it to be utilized effectively in the Ku-band and higher frequencies. This material, RT/duroid 5870, can be cut, sheared, and machined with ease to achieve the desired shapes. It has a high resistance to all kinds of solvents and reagents, whether they are hot or cold, which are typically employed in processes like etching printed circuits or plating the edges and holes of circuits.
Some of the typical applications where RT/duroid 5870 is used are in commercial airline broadband antennas, microstrip circuits, stripline circuits, millimeter wave applications, military radar systems, missile guidance systems, and point-to-point digital radio antennas. |
