1. Introduction to RT/duroid 6202 High Frequency PCB
Rogers RT/duroid 6202 high frequency circuit materials are low loss and low dielectric constant laminates with limited woven glass reinforcement. It offers electrical and mechanical properties essential in designing complex microwave structures that are mechanically reliable and electrically stable. Excellent dimensional stability (0.05 to 0.07 mils/inch) is achieved by the addition of limited woven glass reinforcement. This often eliminates double etching to achieve tight positional tolerances.
Applications particularly suited to the unique properties of RT/duroid 6202 material include flat and non-planar structures such as antennas and complex multilayer circuits with interlayer components.
This 2-layer rigid PCB is constructed with RT/duroid 6202 as the core material at 20mil (0.508mm) thickness, with ENIG surface finish, green top solder mask, white top silkscreen, and 1oz copper on both sides. Its DK of 2.94 offers excellent high-frequency performance with low loss, making it ideal for demanding applications such as phased array antennas, ground based and airborne radar systems, GPS antennas, power backplanes, and beam forming networks.
