RO3000® high frequency circuit materials are ceramic-filled PTFE composites intended for use in commercial microwave and RF applications. This family of products was designed to offer exceptional electrical and mechanical stability.
RO3000 series laminates are circuit materials with mechanical properties that are consistent regardless of the dielectric constant selected. This allows the designer to develop multi-layer board designs that use different dielectric constant materials for individual layers, without encountering warpage or reliability problems. The dielectric constant versus temperature of RO3000 series materials is very stable.
Benefits
- Lowest loss commercial laminates (RO3003)
- Are available in a wide range of Dk (dielectric constant) (3.0 to 10.2)
- Are available both with and without woven glass reinforcements
- Low Z-axis CTE (24 ppm/C) provides plated through hole reliablity
- Low TCDk for electrical stablity versus temperature (RO3003)
Typical Applications
- Automotive radar applications
- Global positioning satellite antennas
- Cellular telecommunications systems – power amplifiers and antennas
- Patch antenna for wireless communications
- Direct broadcast satellites
- RFID Tags
- Surface mount RF components
- E-Band point to point microwave links
