Additional Components & Features

Material Advantages:

Rogers RO4350B offers a stable dielectric constant (Dk 3.48 ±0.05) and low dissipation factor (0.0037) at 10 GHz, ensuring minimal signal loss. Its CTE closely matches copper, providing excellent dimensional stability for multilayer designs. The RO4450F bondply enables reliable sequential lamination cycles, supporting complex stackups. Both materials are UL 94 V-0 rated and compatible with lead-free assembly processes.

 

Design Complexity:

The board accommodates 651 components, 779 total pads (338 thru-hole, 262 top SMT, 179 bottom SMT), and 632 vias across 12 nets. Gerber RS-274-X artwork ensures precise manufacturing alignment.

 

 

Typical Applications:

Cellular base station antennas, RF identification tags, automotive radar systems, LNBs for direct broadcast satellites, and high-power RF amplifiers.
