This PCB utilizes a 2-layer rigid PCB stackup, offering a straightforward and adaptable design. The stackup consists of three main components:

1. Copper_layer_1: With a thickness of 35 μm, this layer plays a crucial role in efficient signal conduction. It ensures reliable transmission of electrical signals throughout the PCB, minimizing losses and maintaining signal integrity.

2. Rogers TMM10i Core: This core layer has a thickness of 0.381 mm (15mil) and is made of Rogers TMM10i material. It is specifically chosen for its exceptional electrical properties, providing optimal performance in high-frequency applications. The TMM10i core contributes to signal stability and minimizes any undesirable effects that could hinder the PCB's functionality.

3. Copper_layer_2: Similar to Copper_layer_1, this layer has a thickness of 35 μm. It acts as an additional conductor, supporting consistent signal performance and ensuring effective signal transmission throughout the PCB.

By combining these layers, this PCB achieves a balanced stackup configuration that enables efficient signal conduction, excellent electrical properties, and reliable performance for a wide range of high-frequency applications.
