Engineered for next-generation RF designs, the Arlon PCB CLTE-MW Microwave PCB provides unmatched reliability in high-frequency environments. This 8-layer laminate structure is tailored for aerospace radar, commercial avionics, and defense communications systems that require tight phase stability across fluctuating temperatures. Built on a ceramic-filled, woven fiberglass PTFE substrate, it delivers structural integrity and low insertion loss, making it the preferred choice for hardware engineers and procurement managers handling complex wave profiles.
Key Features of Arlon CLTE-MW Microwave PCB
-
Controlled Dielectric Constant: Stable $DK$ of 3.00 ($\pm0.04$) at X-band frequencies for precise impedance control.
-
Low Dissipation Factor: Dissipation factor ($Df$) of 0.0015 ensures minimal signal attenuation in microwave frequencies.
-
8-Layer Multilayer Architecture: Advanced layer registration optimized for high-density interconnect (HDI) designs.
-
Low CTE Profile: Low coefficient of thermal expansion along the Z-axis maintains reliable plated through-hole (PTH) reliability during thermal cycling.
-
Aerospace Compliance: Manufactured to meet IPC-Class 3 standards, ensuring operational integrity in extreme environments.
