What circuit boards do we do?(5) RO4350B High Frequency PCB

Shot 1：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.

Shot 2：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.
