Advantages of Rogers RO3003 Material

Stability and Performance
One of the defining features of Rogers RO3003 is its excellent stability of dielectric constant (Dk) over a range of temperatures and frequencies.

This characteristic is crucial for applications that demand consistent performance, such as automotive radar systems operating at 77 GHz and advanced wireless communication technologies, including 5G infrastructure.

- Dielectric Constant: 3 ± 0.04 at 10 GHz/23°C

- Dissipation Factor: 0.001 at 10 GHz/23°C

- Thermal Stability: Td > 500°C

- Moisture Absorption: 0.04%

These properties make RO3003 an ideal choice for applications that require low dielectric loss and excellent mechanical properties across varying temperatures.

Mechanical Properties
This PCB features a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), which closely matches that of copper. This alignment allows for more reliable surface-mounted assemblies, making it suitable for applications sensitive to temperature fluctuations. The uniform mechanical properties across a range of dielectric constants also facilitate multi-layer board designs, enhancing versatility in circuit design.

Applications

Our 2-layer RO3003 PCB is designed to excel in several key applications:

- Automotive Radar: For systems that necessitate high-frequency operation for safety and navigation.

- Telecommunications: Power amplifiers and antennas in cellular systems benefit from the low-loss characteristics of this PCB.

- Satellite Communications: Its performance is critical for GPS antennas and direct broadcast satellites, ensuring reliable data transmission.

- Wireless Communication: Ideal for patch antennas and remote meter readers.
