The Arlon Antenna PCB Prototype utilizing DiClad 880 substrate is an optimized solution engineered for high-frequency RF and microwave applications. Designed for RF engineers, radar system designers, and aerospace product developers, this sample board provides the exact electrical performance required to validate complex circuitry before moving to full-scale production. By utilizing a woven fiberglass and PTFE composite, this board maintains a controlled dielectric constant ($D_k = 2.20 \pm 0.04$) to minimize signal loss and maximize impedance consistency across ultra-high-frequency bands.
