Full Product Description
Precision-Engineered RF Performance Starts with the Right Substrate
The RO3010 0.6mm 1oz Immersion Silver 4-Layer Compact Antenna Board delivers the signal integrity, dimensional stability, and thermal reliability that high-frequency antenna designs demand. Purpose-built on Rogers RO3010 ceramic-filled PTFE laminate, this compact antenna board is the go-to solution for engineers designing GPS modules, 5G antenna arrays, automotive radar systems, satellite communication front-ends, and IoT wireless devices operating across microwave and millimeter-wave bands.
At PCBSync, every board ships fully inspected and test-verified, so your prototyping and production timelines stay on track.
Why Rogers RO3010?
Rogers RO3010 is a ceramic-filled PTFE composite engineered specifically for high-frequency circuit applications. With a dielectric constant (Dk) of 10.2 ± 0.30 and a dissipation factor (Df) as low as 0.0022 at 10 GHz, this laminate provides exceptional signal propagation characteristics that standard FR-4 simply cannot match. The high Dk value enables significant size reduction in antenna elements and microstrip patch designs — a critical advantage for compact antenna boards where PCB real estate is at a premium.
The ceramic filler delivers excellent thermal conductivity and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), ensuring consistent electrical performance across wide operating temperature ranges from –50°C to +150°C. This makes the RO3010 substrate ideal for automotive, aerospace, and outdoor telecom environments where thermal cycling is a constant concern.

Immersion Silver Finish for Clean Signal Paths
The immersion silver surface finish provides a flat, uniform, and highly solderable pad surface — essential for fine-pitch RF component placement and controlled impedance interconnects. Compared to HASL or OSP alternatives, immersion silver maintains consistent coplanarity across dense SMT pads and delivers reliable wire-bonding compatibility. It also avoids the nickel barrier layer present in ENIG, eliminating potential signal-loss contributions at microwave frequencies.
4-Layer Stackup: Compact Without Compromise
The 4-layer construction gives designers the freedom to separate RF signal routing, ground planes, DC power distribution, and control circuitry across dedicated layers — all within a slim 0.6mm profile. Proper ground plane isolation minimizes cross-talk and enhances antenna radiation efficiency, while the thin stackup supports integration into space-constrained enclosures common in wearable devices, drone payloads, and embedded antenna modules.
