RO4350B High Frequency PCB
Brief introduction
Rogers RO4350B laminates are a proprietary blend of woven glass
reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramics that offer electrical performance
comparable to PTFE/woven glass and the manufacturability advantages
of epoxy/glass.
RO4350B materials exhibit precise control over dielectric constant
(Dk) while maintaining low loss, using the same processing method
as standard epoxy/glass laminates. They are a cost-effective
alternative to traditional microwave laminates and eliminate the
need for specialized through-hole treatments or handling procedures
required by PTFE-based materials. These materials have achieved UL
94 V-0 rating, making them suitable for active devices and
high-power RF designs.
Features
One of the key features of RO4350B is their low dielectric constant
of 3.48 at 10 GHz. A low dielectric constant is desirable in
high-frequency applications as it aids in minimizing signal loss
and improving signal integrity.
RO4350B exhibits a dissipation factor of 0.0037 at 10 GHz. A low
dissipation factor is crucial for minimizing signal loss and
maintaining high signal quality in high-frequency circuits.
Another advantage of RO4350B is its excellent dimensional
stability. It has a low Z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion at
32 ppm/°C. The expansion coefficient is similar to that of copper,
which make the board's dimensions remain consistent even under
varying temperature conditions.
RO4350B materials also have a high glass transition temperature
(Tg) of over 280°C (536°F). The high Tg ensures that the PCB
retains its structural integrity and dimensional stability even
during the elevated temperatures experienced during the circuit
assembly process.
