Rogers Corporation introduces RO4730G3 UL 94 V-0 antenna-grade laminates to fulfill existing as well as future performance requirements in energetic antenna arrays and little cells, notably in 4G Base Bransceiver Stations (BTS) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications as well as arising 5G cordless systems.
These Flame-retardant (per UL 94V-0), thermoset laminate materials are an extension of Rogers’ dependable RO4000 high frequency PCB materials, which are a popular option for base station antennas. RO4730G3 laminates provide the low dielectric constant (Dk) of 3.0 preferred by antenna designers, held to a resistance of ± 0.05 via the thickness (z axis) when gauged at 10 GHz.
RO4730G3 laminates are comprised of ceramic hydrocarbon products with low-loss LoPro copper aluminum foil. They provide superb passive-intermodulation (PIM) efficiency (usually better compared to -160 dBc) that makes them attractive for intermodulation (IM) sensitive, high-frequency antennas. They are 30% lighter than PTFE circuit board materials and include a high glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of much better than +280 ° C for compatibility with automated assembly strategies. RO4730G3 circuit laminates show reduced z-axis Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of 30.3 ppm/ ° C from -55 to +288 ° C for dependable layered through holes (PTHs) in multilayer circuit settings up. They are lead-free-process suitable and also offer enhanced flexural stamina over RO4000JXR materials.
The new antenna-grade circuit laminates are engineered for regular performance with temperature. They have a coefficient of thermal growth (CTE) carefully matched to that of copper and reduced thermal coefficient of dielectric consistent in the z axis (+26 ppm/ ° C at 10 GHz) from -50 to +150 ° C. Additionally, these laminates attain low circuit losses at high frequencies, with a dissipation element of 0.0023 at 2.5 GHz as well as 0.0029 at 10 GHz.
RO4730G3 laminates supply sensible, affordable circuit product options for active antenna varieties as well as PCB antennas for present wireless applications, including 4G as well as IoT, as well as those ready to come, such as 5G. With the right mix of products, these laminates supply a maximum blend of rate, performance, as well as longevity.
