Product Description

The Rogers RO3203 High Frequency PCB is a custom-made 2-layer circuit board featuring Rogers 3203 material with a thickness of 10 mils. This high-performance PCB is designed for applications requiring exceptional electrical performance and mechanical stability, particularly in microwave frequency ranges.


Material Properties

Rogers RO3203 is a ceramic-filled laminate reinforced with woven fiberglass. It boasts the following key properties:

Dielectric Constant (DK): 3.02
Dissipation Factor (DF): 0.0016
Frequency Range: Extends beyond 40 GHz


RO3203 combines the surface smoothness of non-woven PTFE laminates for fine line etching tolerances with the rigidity of woven-glass PTFE laminates. These materials can be processed using standard PTFE circuit board manufacturing techniques. Available copper cladding options include 0.5, 1, or 2 oz./ft² (17, 35, 70 microns thick) of electrodeposited copper foil. The manufacturing process is compliant with ISO 9002 quality standards.



Features

1.Woven Glass Reinforcement: Enhances rigidity for easier handling.
2.Uniform Performance: Ideal for complex multilayer high-frequency structures.
3.Low Dielectric Loss: Suitable for applications exceeding 20 GHz.
4.Excellent Mechanical Properties: Supports multilayer board designs.
5.Low In-Plane Expansion Coefficient: Matches copper for reliable hybrid designs.
6.Dimensional Stability: Ensures high production yields.
7.Cost-Effective: Economically priced for volume manufacturing.
8.Smooth Surface: Allows for finer line etching tolerances.



Typical Applications

1.Automotive Collision Avoidance Systems
2.Automotive Global Positioning Satellite Antennas
3.Base Station Infrastructure
4.Datalink on Cable Systems
5.Direct Broadcast Satellites
6.LMDS and Wireless Broadband
7.Microstrip Patch Antennas
8.Power Backplanes
9.Remote Meter Readers
10.Wireless Telecommunications Systems
