PCB Construction Details

PCB Stack-up

The 5-layer rigid PCB features a precise stack-up designed for optimal signal integrity and thermal stability:

Artwork and Standards

Artwork Supplied: Gerber RS-274-X, the industry-standard format for PCB manufacturing, ensuring compatibility with production processes.

Quality Standard: Manufactured to IPC-Class-2 specifications, guaranteeing high quality and reliability for general and high-frequency electronics.

RO4003C Material Overview

Rogers' RO4003C is a woven glass reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramic laminate that combines the electrical performance of PTFE/woven glass with the manufacturability of epoxy/glass. It is available in configurations using 1080 and 1674 glass fabrics, all meeting the same electrical performance standards.

Unlike PTFE-based materials, RO4003C requires no special through-hole treatments or handling procedures, simplifying manufacturing. It is non-brominated and not UL 94 V-0 rated.

Key Features of RO4003C

Dielectric Constant: 3.38 +/-0.05 at 10GHz, ensuring consistent signal propagation.

Dissipation Factor: 0.0027 at 10GHz and 0.0021 at 2.5GHz, minimizing signal loss across frequencies.

Thermal Coefficient of Dielectric Constant: +40 ppm/°C, maintaining stability over temperature ranges.

Thermal Conductivity: 0.71 W/m/°K, enabling efficient heat dissipation.

CTE: X-axis: 11ppm/°C, Y-axis: 14ppm/°C, Z-axis: 46ppm/°C, ensuring dimensional stability and compatibility with copper.

Moisture Absorption: 0.06%, maintaining performance in humid environments.

Tg: >280°C (536°F), ensuring stable expansion characteristics during processing.

Benefits of the PCB

Ideal for Multi-Layer Constructions: RO4003C’s properties support complex multi-layer board designs, critical for high-frequency applications.

Cost-Effective Manufacturing: Processes like FR-4 at a fraction of the cost of conventional microwave laminates, reducing production expenses.

High-Volume Compatibility: Designed for performance-sensitive, high-volume applications without compromising on quality.

Reliable Through-Holes: Low Z-axis CTE ensures reliable plated through-hole quality, even in severe thermal shock conditions.

Dimensional Stability: CTE similar to copper enhances stability, making it suitable for mixed dielectric multi-layer boards.

Typical Applications

This PCB is well-suited for:

-Cellular Base Station Antennas and Power Amplifiers

-RF Identification Tags

-Automotive Radar and Sensors

-Low-Noise Blocks (LNB's) for Direct Broadcast Satellites

Availability: This PCB is available for worldwide shipping, ensuring accessibility for global manufacturing and project requirements.
