Brief Introduction
The AD255C High Frequency Antenna PCB is a high-performance circuit board designed for wireless antenna applications. Built on Rogers' AD255C substrates, this PCB features a glass-reinforced, PTFE-based composite that provides a controlled dielectric constant (Dk 2.55) and low loss performance (Df 0.0013 at 10 GHz). With excellent passive intermodulation (PIM) performance, the AD255C PCB is ideal for demanding wireless antenna markets. Available in thicknesses ranging from 20mil to 60mil, it offers immersion gold or immersion silver surface finishes for superior solderability and corrosion resistance.
