The Arlon PCB CLTE low loss PCB is a high-performance, 4-layer satellite RF board engineered specifically for next-generation microwave and high-frequency applications. Built on a woven fiberglass-reinforced PTFE ceramic composite substrate, this board provides a tightly controlled dielectric constant (DK 2.94) and an ultra-low dissipation factor. It is designed to meet the strict phase-stability and thermal-management requirements of aerospace, defense, and advanced telecommunications systems where signal degradation is not an option.
Key Features of Arlon CLTE Low Loss PCB
-
Controlled Dielectric Constant: Stable DK of 2.94 ($\pm 0.04$) across a wide temperature range for precise impedance matching.
-
Low Dissipation Factor: Loss tangent of 0.0025 at 10 GHz ensures minimal signal attenuation in microwave circuits.
-
4-Layer Stackup: Optimised multi-layer configuration with precise registration for complex RF routing and shielding.
-
Thermal Coefficient of DK: Extremely low TCDK ensures electrical performance remains consistent during temperature cycling.
-
Excellent Dimensional Stability: Woven fiberglass reinforcement provides superior structural integrity and minimal X/Y axis expansion.
-
Surface Finish Options: Available with ENIG, ENEPIG, or Immersion Silver to preserve high-frequency conductor paths.
Applications
-
Satellite Communications: Space-grade corporate feed networks, phased array antennas, and low-noise amplifiers (LNAs).
-
Defense Electronics: Radar systems, electronic warfare (EW) modules, and missile guidance transceivers.
-
Commercial Wireless: Base station antennas, power amplifiers, and point-to-point microwave backhaul links.
