What is the Rogers RO4835™ laminate?
RO4835™ laminate has excellent thermo-mechanical properties,and electrical characteristics that antenna designers need. The laminates have a dielectric constant (Dk) of 3.48 and a loss tangent (Df) of 0.0037 measured at 10 GHz.These values allow antenna designers to realize substantial gain values while minimizing signal loss. RO4835™laminates share similar electrical and mechanical properties with RO4350B™ laminates and are designed for high frequency performance and cost-effective circuit fabrication. It uses standard epoxy/glass (FR-4) processes and is competitively priced.
Rogers’ RO4835™ laminate, part of the RO4000® series, offers enhanced stability at high temperatures and is more resistant to oxidation than other hydrocarbon materials. Thermoset laminate materials, including FR-4, are affected by oxidation over time and temperature. This can slightly increase the dielectric constant and dissipation factor of the circuit substrate. The change rate and impact on circuit performance vary based on design and operating temperature.
For frequencies above 500 MHz, RO4000 materials are ideal due to their low dielectric loss, making them suitable for RF microwave circuits and controlled impedance transmission lines. The material’s thermal coefficient of expansion (CTE) matches copper, ensuring excellent dimensional stability and reliable plated through-hole quality in mixed dielectric multi-layer boards, even under thermal shock. RO4000 laminates have a Tg of >280°C (536°F), ensuring stable expansion characteristics throughout circuit processing temperatures.
