In the demanding world of aerospace and defense telecommunications, compromise is not an option. PCBSync is proud to present the RT-duroid 5870 10-Layer Airborne Radar Board, a pinnacle of high-frequency engineering designed to deliver unrelenting precision in the most volatile environments.
Crafted from glass micro-fiber reinforced PTFE composites, this 1.5mm thick board is specifically engineered for exacting stripline and microstrip circuit applications where signal integrity and low dielectric loss are paramount.
Technical Excellence: The RT-duroid 5870 Advantage
The heart of this board lies in the Rogers RT-duroid 5870 material. Known for having the lowest electrical loss of any reinforced PTFE material, it ensures that high-frequency signals remain crisp and clear, even at X-band and Ku-band frequencies common in radar systems.
-
Dielectric Constant (Dk) Stability: With a Dk of $2.33 \pm 0.02$, this board provides the uniformity required for high-speed signal propagation.
-
Low Dissipation Factor: A dissipation factor of approximately $0.0012$ at 10GHz minimizes signal attenuation, maximizing the range and sensitivity of airborne radar arrays.
-
10-Layer High-Density Architecture: Our advanced 10-layer stack-up allows for complex routing, dedicated ground planes for superior EMI shielding, and optimized impedance control, essential for modern phased-array systems.
Precision Specifications for Mission-Critical Gear
At PCBSync, we understand that airborne hardware must withstand extreme thermal cycling and mechanical vibration. This board is built to exceed those standards:
-
Board Thickness: 1.5mm for enhanced structural rigidity and mechanical durability.
-
Copper Weight: 1oz finished copper provides the ideal balance between power distribution and fine-line etching precision.
-
Surface Finish: Immersion Silver (ImAg). Unlike ENIG, Immersion Silver provides a flat, highly conductive surface that minimizes the “skin effect” loss at microwave frequencies, ensuring superior solderability and signal performance.
-
Application-Specific Design: Optimized for Airborne Radar Systems, including weather monitoring, terrain following, and tactical surveillance.
