Line Widths for Various Characteristic Impedances of Center Stripline Devices in RT-Duroid Laminates

Stripline devices embedded in RT-duroid laminates are widely used for high-frequency circuits due to their excellent dielectric and thermal properties. Calculating the correct line width for a specific characteristic impedance (Z0Z_0Z0​) is essential for optimal signal integrity and impedance matching. 1. Design Parameters The characteristic impedance of a center stripline is influenced by several factors: Substrate Thickness...

Low Outgassing Properties of Rogers Laminates

Rogers laminates, including popular materials like RT-duroid® 5870 and 5880, are well-regarded for their low outgassing properties, making them suitable for use in space, vacuum, and other environments where minimal material outgassing is critical. 1. Understanding Outgassing Outgassing is the release of volatile compounds from a material when exposed to vacuum or high-temperature environments. Excessive outgassing...

Safety Notes on Using PTFE Composite Materials

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based composites, such as RT-duroid laminates, are widely used due to their exceptional properties. However, working with PTFE composite materials requires awareness of safety precautions during handling, machining, and disposal. 1. General Safety Considerations Inert Material Properties: PTFE is chemically inert and stable under normal conditions, making it non-toxic in its solid state. However, machining or...

Temperature Rise Estimations in Rogers High-Frequency Circuit Boards

When Rogers high-frequency circuit boards, such as RT-duroid laminates, carry direct current (DC) or radio frequency (RF) current, the temperature rise depends on factors such as conductor resistance, material properties, current flow, and thermal management. 1. Factors Influencing Temperature Rise Conductor Properties: Thickness and Width: Wider and thicker traces reduce resistance. Material Conductivity: High-conductivity materials like copper lower resistive...

Advantage of Nearly Isotropic Dielectric Constant in RT-duroid® 5870-5880 Glass Microfiber PTFE

The nearly isotropic dielectric constant (ϵr\epsilon_rϵr​) of RT-duroid® 5870 – 5880 laminates, attributed to their glass microfiber-reinforced PTFE composition, offers several key benefits for high-frequency applications. Here’s why this property is advantageous: 1. Consistent Signal Performance in All Directions Isotropy Defined: An isotropic dielectric constant means ϵr\epsilon_rϵr​ remains the same regardless of the direction of signal propagation....
