Rogers AD300D PCB Raw Materials

 

 

Introduction

Rogers Corporation’s AD Series™ antenna materials are high-performance specialty solutions engineered and manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of today’s wireless antenna markets—with the capability to address evolving design needs now and into the future. As a standout member of this product line, Rogers AD300D high frequency laminates are ceramic-filled, glass-reinforced PTFE-based materials that deliver a low and tightly controlled dielectric constant, setting a benchmark for reliable high-frequency performance.

 

Like all AD Series antenna products, Rogers AD300D Laminate is built on a glass-reinforced PTFE foundation, a composition that ensures not only controlled dielectric properties and low loss performance, but also exceptional passive intermodulation (PIM) performance—critical for minimizing signal interference in wireless communication systems. The woven glass reinforcement further enhances circuit processability, enabling high-yield PCB fabrication that streamlines manufacturing workflows and reduces production costs.

 

Rogers AD300D PCB substrate benefits from the AD Series’ core advantages, including flexible dielectric constant options tailored to meet the diverse requirements of modern antenna designs. What sets it apart is its array of industry-leading technical features that elevate its performance for high-demand antenna applications:
