Rogers RO4535 High Frequency PCB Material

 

 

Introduction

RO4535 High Frequency Laminates, ceramic-filled, glass-reinforced hydrocarbon based material, are cost/performance materials from Rogers Corporation, specifically engineered and manufactured to meet the specific demands of the antenna markets. Rogers RO4535 high frequency circuit material has a dielectric constant of 3.44 and a loss tangent (Df) of 0.0037 measured at 10 GHz. These values allow antenna designers to realize substantial gain values while minimizing signal loss. Thus, it provides excellent passive intermodulation response required for mobile infrastructure microstrip antenna applications

 

Rogers RO4535 is an affordable alternative to more conventional PTFE antenna technologies, thus allowing our designers to optimize the price and performance of the antennas. The resin systems of RO4535 dielectric materials are designed to provide the necessary properties for ideal antenna performance. The coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) in both the X and Y directions are similar to that of copper. The good CTE match reduces stresses in the printed circuit board antenna.

 

Features and Benefits
