What circuit boards do we do? (10)
RO3003 High frequency PCB
Shot 1: Introduction
RO3003 laminates are ceramic-filled PTFE-based circuit materials that offer a combination of electrical performance, mechanical stability, and cost-effectiveness. They provide a competitive solution for commercial microwave and RF applications, where high-frequency performance and consistent electrical characteristics are essential.
With its stable dielectric constant over temperature and frequency variations, Rogers RO3003 PCB is particularly well-suited for applications such as automotive radar (77 GHz), advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and 5G wireless infrastructure operating in mmWave frequency bands. These applications require precise and reliable performance, and the stability of RO3003 laminates helps ensure accurate signal propagation and optimal functionality.
Shot 2: Features & Benefits
RT/duroid 5880 features a dielectric constant (Dk) of 2.20 +/- .02, ensuring consistent signal propagation. Its low dissipation factor of .0009 at 10GHz minimizes energy loss during transmission, maintaining high signal integrity.
This material's moisture absorption is impressively low at 0.02%, making it well-suited for high humidity environments, as it retains its electrical and mechanical properties under such conditions.
The RT/duroid 5880 exhibits isotropic behavior, enabling uniform signal propagation in all directions, making it ideal for applications requiring multi-directional signal transmission.
In addition to its electrical properties, the RT/duroid 5880 laminate is easy to work with, allowing for efficient cutting, shaping, and machining. It exhibits resistance to solvents and reagents used in etching or plating processes, ensuring durability in harsh chemical environments.
As a well-established material, RT/duroid 5880 offers the lowest electrical loss among reinforced PTFE materials, enhancing signal integrity.
