High-frequency and high-speed materials of PCB boards
In high-speed digital circuits and RF/microwave applications,the tradition FR-4 materials are can’t satisfied the requirement of Low loss, low latency and stability.High-frequency and high-speed materials of PCB boards have emerged as a result,It becomes a key cornerstone for high-speed signal transmission
First:materials of PCB boards for Enhanced Epoxy
Features:it is improved base on the standard FR4 epoxy resin,enhance the Tg value,perfect the heat resistance and reduce the Dk/Df value.the cost is relatively low
Representative PN:FR408HR,Megtron4 , Megtron 6,TU-768 and TU-872SLK
Application:Data center switches, high-end routers,and some high requirements consumer Electronics.It is a common choice for upgrading FR-4
Second:High-frequency and high-speed materials of PCB boards for PTFE/Teflon-Based
Features:Base on PTFE,the lowest df value is the most significant advantage,it can provide the outstanding high-frequency and low-loss performance,the DK value usually very low(about 2.0-2.5).It has strong chemical inertness and good weather resistance.but the price very high,The thermal conductivity is not good,and it is difficult to make the PTH,THE CTE requiment also very high.
Representative series:RO3000 series,RT/duroid series,Taconic series,Arlon series
Application:Radar, base station antenna, satellite communication, automotive radar 77GHz,In addition,Extremely demanding millimeter-wave applications
Third:High-frequency and high-speed materials of PCB boards for Hydrocarbon Ceramic
Features:It achieves an excellent balance among low loss (low Df), stable Dk, good processability (close to FR-4) and relatively reasonable cost.and the mechanical properties, heat resistance and dimensional stability are usually superior to those of PTFE plates.
Representative :RO4000 series,Astra MT77,Megtron 7/8,TU-883 and so on
Application:The most widely used at present for High-frequency and high-speed materials of PCB boards.Servers, switches, routers, optical modules and so on
Finally:High-frequency and high-speed materials of PCB boards for CE/BT
Features:It has a very high Tg,excellent heat resistance,Low CTE and good behaviour of electricity.but the cost very high.
Representative:Mitsubishi Gas Chemical,CCL-HL832NSF
Application:Applications in high-reliability and high-temperature resistant environments such as aerospace and military industries.And IC Substrate
