32.7mil RO4003C LoPro Reverse Treated Foil PCB for Cellular Base Station Antennas
(All PCBs are custom-manufactured. Reference images and parameters may vary based on your design requirements.)
Rogers' proprietary technology is applied in RO4003C LoPro laminates. This technology allows the reverse - treated foil to connect to the standard RO4003C dielectric. Consequently, the laminate has low conductor loss, which helps to enhance insertion loss and ensure signal integrity. All the other desirable properties of the standard RO4003C laminate system are also preserved.
Features and Benefits:
RO4003C materials are reinforced hydrocarbon/ceramic laminates with very low profile reverse treated foil.
1. Lower insertion loss
2. Low PIM
3. Increased signal integrity
4. High circuit density
Low Z-axis coefficient of thermal expansion
1. Multi-layer board capability
2. Design flexibility
Lead-free process compatible
1. High temperature processing
2. Meets environmental concerns
CAF resistant
