Rogers RT/duroid 5870 is a high-frequency material composed of glass microfiber reinforced PTFE composites, specifically engineered for demanding stripline and microstrip circuit applications. This material boasts exceptional dielectric constant uniformity, attributed to its randomly oriented microfibers, ensuring that the dielectric constant remains consistent across different panels and stable over a broad frequency range. Its low dissipation factor enhances its applicability to Ku-band frequencies and beyond. Additionally, RT/duroid 5870 can be easily cut, sheared, and machined into various shapes, and it exhibits resistance to all solvents and reagents typically used in the etching of printed circuits or in the plating of edges and holes.
Typical applications for RT/duroid 5870 include:
Commercial airline broadband antennas
Microstrip circuits
Stripline circuits
Millimeter wave applications
Military radar systems
Missile guidance systems
Point-to-point digital radio antennas |
