Rogers 4003 Low Profile RF PCB 20.7mil RO4003C LoPro Reverse Treated Foil with Gold for Low Noise Block
(Printed Circuit Boards are custom-made products, the picture and parameters shown are just for reference)
Product Description
RO4003C LoPro laminates employ proprietary technology from Rogers that allows reverse treated foil to effectively bond with standard RO4003C dielectric. This innovation results in a laminate characterized by low conductor loss, enhancing insertion loss and signal integrity while retaining all desirable features of the standard RO4003C laminate system.
Features and Benefits
RO4003C materials are reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramic laminates with very low profile reverse treated foil, providing several advantages:
Lower Insertion Loss:Enhances signal transmission efficiency.
Low Passive Intermodulation (PIM):Improves overall performance in RF applications.
Increased Signal Integrity:Ensures clearer and more reliable signal transmission.
High Circuit Density:Supports complex circuit designs without compromising performance.
Thermal and Design Characteristics
Low Z-axis Coefficient of Thermal Expansion:
Facilitates multi-layer board capability and design flexibility.
Lead-Free Process Compatible:
Supports high-temperature processing and adheres to environmental regulations.
CAF Resistant:
Increases reliability in challenging environments.
Typical Applications
1.Digital applications such as servers, routers, and high-speed backplanes
2.Cellular base station antennas and power amplifiers
3.LNBs for direct broadcast satellites
4.RF Identification Tags
