Rogers Corporation RO3730 Antenna Grade Laminate
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Fluoropolymer; Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Glass Filled, Molded
Material Notes: RO3730™ Laminates have the excellent thermo-mechanical properties and electrical characteristics that antenna designers need. The laminates have a dielectric constant of 3.0 and a loss tangent of 0.0013 measured at 2.5 GHz. These values allow antenna designers to realize substantial gain values while minimizing signal loss. Materials are available with a demonstrated low PIM performance, with values better than -154 dBc (measured using Rogers' internal test method).

Cladding is 1 ounce rolled annealed copper (35 microns thick).

Features and Benefits:

  • RO3730 reinforced woven fiber glass with optimized glass and filler loading - Improved mechanical rigidity, easier handling and processing versus non-reinforced PTFE products and lower dissipation factor
  • Low PIM - reduced signal interference
  • Loss - improved antenna gain
  • Economically priced - volume manufacturing
  • Environmentally friendly - Lead-free process compatible and RoHS compliant

Typical Applications:

  • Base station antennas
  • RFID antennas
  • WLAN antennas
  • Satellite Radio antennas
