The Arlon Hybrid Multilayer PCB is a high-performance 6-layer board engineered to bridge the gap between demanding RF capabilities and strict budget constraints. By utilizing a hybrid stackup—bonding Arlon AD350A laminates with standard FR-4 layers—this board provides commercial-grade signal integrity where it matters most, while lowering overall material costs. It is ideal for RF engineers and product developers who require precise dielectric constants and low insertion loss without the premium price tag of a full PTFE construction.

Key Features of the Arlon Hybrid Multilayer PCB

• Optimized Hybrid Stackup: Combines Arlon AD350A ($D_k = 3.50$, $\tan\delta = 0.003$ at 10 GHz) with high-$T_g$ FR-4 for cost-effective RF routing.

• 6-Layer Controlled Impedance: Rigorously tested layer transitions ensuring stable impedance parameters across high-frequency signal paths.

• Enhanced Thermal Management: Excellent dimensional stability and low Z-axis expansion for reliable plated through-holes (PTH) in fluctuating environments.

• Surface Finish Options: Available with ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) or HASL-LF to prevent oxidation and ensure robust solder joints.

• Manufacturing Standards: Fabricated in compliance with IPC-A-600 Class 2 and Class 3 quality thresholds.

Applications

• Telecommunications: Base station antennas, power amplifiers, and cellular repeater modules.

• Automotive Radar: Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication units.

• Satellite Communications: LNB downconverters and VSAT transceivers.

• Industrial Wireless: High-speed data telemetry and microwave backhaul systems.
