Introduction

Hello Everyone,
Good day!
Today, we will discuss a 6-layer hybrid PCB constructed with 20mil RO4350B and FR-4. This article will introduce two specific boards.

Board Overview

First Board: Satellite Receiver Application

The first board is designed for a satellite receiver. It features one RO4350B core on the top layer. The stack-up is somewhat complex due to the inclusion of three types of blind vias. This board has a thickness of 1.71 mm, with white silkscreen over a green solder mask on both sides. Immersion gold is applied to the pads and tracks. Each board is supplied as a single unit and is fabricated according to IPC 6012 Class 2 standards using provided Gerber data. A total of 25 boards are packed for shipment.

Second Board: Signal Booster Application

The second board is utilized in a signal booster and incorporates two cores of 20mil RO4350B on the top and bottom sides. The stack-up is displayed below.

Advantages of RO4350B Hybrid PCBs:

1.Stable Dielectric Constant: RO4350B provides a stable dielectric constant across a wide frequency range.
2.Enhanced Signal Integrity: Improved performance compared to all-FR4 stack-ups.
3.Cost Efficiency: Reduced costs over stack-ups using all low-loss materials.
4.High Production Capacity: Capable of producing 8,000 types of PCBs monthly.
5.Certified Manufacturing: Our facility is ISO9001, ISO14001, IATF16949, and UL certified.
6.Flexible Orders: No minimum order quantity (MOQ), with low costs for prototypes and small production runs.

Applications

The applications for RO4350B hybrid PCBs are diverse, including: Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA), Radar Data Acquisition Converters, Spread Spectrum Devices, 4G Antennas, Transmitters, RF Switches, Splitter Modules.
