1.  Introduction of RO3010

Rogers RO3010 advanced circuit materials are ceramic-filled PTFE composites that offer a higher dielectric constant with excellent stability. They are competitively priced products with exceptional mechanical and electrical stability. This stability simplifies the design of broadband components and allows the materials to be used in a wide range of applications over a very broad range of frequencies. This material's characteristics make RO3010 laminates excellent for circuit miniaturization.
