Rogers Launches Next Generation Laminates for Automotive Radar Sensor Applications
January 16, 2019 | Rogers CorporationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Rogers Corporation announced the latest addition to its RO3000 Series PTFE circuit materials: RO3003G2 high-frequency laminates.RO3003G2 laminates build on Rogers’ industry leading RO3003 platform to provide radar sensor designers with improved insertion loss and reduced dielectric constant (Dk) variation.
The combination of our optimized resin and filler content along with the introduction of very low profile ED copper translates to Dk of 3.00 @ 10 GHz (clamped stripline method) & 3.07 @ 77 GHz (microstrip differential phase length method). RO3003G2 laminates also show very low insertion loss of 1.3dB/inch for 5 mil laminates as measured by the microstrip differential phase length method.
RO3003G2 laminates are an extension of RO3003 laminates that incorporate Rogers’ decades-long experience working with our automotive radar customers and understanding the increasing product performance requirements.
RO3003G2 laminates:
- Reduce insertion loss via a new very low profile electrodeposited copper (VLP ED).
- Reduce dielectric constant variation through PCB processing as a result of a homogeneous construction and incorporating VLP ED foil.
- Enable designs with denser/smaller diameter micro vias, achieved by an advanced filler system using small rounded particles.
Rogers RO3003G2 high frequency PTFE laminates are available in standard panel sizes of 24 × 18 in. (610 × 457 mm), and 24 × 21 in. (610 × 533.75 mm) with 0.5 oz. (18 µm) or 1.0 oz. (35 µm) ED Cu foil and rolled Cu foil. Available in dielectric thicknesses of 0.005 and 0.010 inch.

Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
