Rogers 5880 is superior due to its extremely low dielectric constant and low electrical loss, which prevents signal degradation in microwave and RF circuits.
With a moisture absorption rate of only 0.02%, RT5880 ensures that the dielectric constant remains stable even in high-humidity environments, preventing drift in high-frequency performance.
It is widely used in commercial aviation telephone circuits, radar systems, point-to-point digital radio antennas, and millimeter-wave applications.
Yes, it can be integrated into multilayer designs ranging from 1 up to 24 layers, allowing for complex high-frequency circuit architectures.
Immersion Gold is highly recommended to ensure excellent conductivity and prevent oxidation, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in RF applications.
Impedance is calculated using the specific dielectric thickness of the material without copper, combined with the dielectric constant (2.2) and the trace width/spacing.
