    What is Rogers RO4534 PCB ?


    The Rogers ro 4534 are performance/cost materials manufactured and

    engineered to meet the demands and needs of the antenna markets. This

    laminate extends the abilities and capabilities of the RO 4000 into the

    antenna applications.

    This glass-reinforced, ceramic-filled material offers low loss performance,

    controlled dielectric constant, and great passive intermodulation response,

    which is necessary for applications working for mobile

    infrastructure microstrip antennas.

    The rogers ro4534 laminates are very compatible with lead free

    high-temperature solder processing and conventional FR4. These

    laminates don’t need any special treatment required on PTFE-based

    traditional laminates. This product is a cheap option to antenna

    technologies that are more conventional, thereby giving the designers the

    opportunity to maximize the performance and price of their antennas.

    Moreover, these materials come halogen-free, helping them meet the very

    strict “green” standards.

    More Information about the Rogers RO 4534

    The ro 4534 dielectric materials’ resin systems were designed to offer the

    needed properties for an optimal antenna performance. The CTEs –

    Coefficient of Thermal Expansion in both directions X and Y share

    similarities to that of copper. This great match in CTE helps in reducing

    stresses in the antenna of the printed circuit board (PCB).

    The temperature of the typical glass transition of roger ro4534 materials

    surpasses 280 degrees centigrade, which leads to a low CTE on the z-axis

    and well-plated via hole reliability. Combining these properties with a

    dimensional stability value below 0.05% ensures that the ro 4534

    laminates are great for PCB antenna applications. These materials also

    offer increased thermal conductivity, which ensures antenna designs that

    have increased power handling capability.

    Asides from these great thermo-mechanical properties, the ro4534

    laminates have electrical properties that designers of antennas need. The

    dielectric constant of these laminates ranges from 3.3 to 3.5. Measured at

    2.5 GHz, it also has a loss tangent of 0.0020 – 0.0037. With these values,

    antenna designers will be able to realize great gain values coupled with

    reducing signal loss. These materials come with low PIM performance.

    Using two swept tones of 43 dBm at 1900 MHz, they have better values

    than -155 dBC.

    Exposing these materials for long hours in any oxidative environment will

    alter the dielectric properties of the materials. At higher temperatures, the

    change rate increases, and it greatly depends on the design of the circuit.

    Although the high frequency materials of Rogers have been used in many

    applications and oxidation reports which led to performance issues are

    very rare. Roger has advised that all customers evaluate the design and

    material combination properly, to help in determining fitness for use over

    the end product’s entire life.

    Properties of Rogers RO4534

    Rogers RO4534 pcb

    The properties of the rogers ro4534 are:

    Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

    This is also represented as CTE. This helps in measuring the rate at which

    the ro4534 expansion occurs whenever it is heated up. It is expressed in

    ppm (parts per million), and measured in PPM/oC. Once there is a risen in

    the material’s temperature which is higher than the Tg, then the CTE will

    also increase. The ro4534 has a high coefficient of thermal expansion.

    Thermal Conductivity

    Thermal conductivity can be represented as k. This property reveals the

    ability of the material to conduct heat. Whenever this value is low, the

    there is a low heat transfer, and when it is high, then there is a high heat

    transfer. The unit of measurement of this property is Watts/meter Kelvin.

    Glass Transition Temperature

    This property can be represented as Tg. This is the temperature where the

    substrate changes into a soft state from its initial rigid and glassy state.

    Measurement is usually done in degrees Celsius.

    Decomposition Temperature

    This temperature is one at which the material will decompose chemically.

    Its unit of measurement is degrees Celsius.

    Dissipation factor (Df) or Loss Tangent

    This is the tan of the phase angle. This is between the resistive and the

    reactive currents of the dielectric. A rise in dielectric loss happens

    whenever there is an increase in the dissipation factor. A low dissipation

    factor provides fast substrates, while large ones deliver slow substrates.

    What to do when Choosing the Rogers 4534

    You should consider some things when choosing the rogers ro4534:

    Check that the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion matches: The coefficient

    of thermal expansion has proved to be very significant when handling

    substrates. Difference in the rates of the coefficient of thermal expansion

    RAYMING PCB & ASSEMBLY

    reveals that during the fabrication process, expansion will take place at

    different rates.

    Materials Chosen Should Have Similar Dielectric Constant: Ensure you go

    for substrates having dielectric constants that are identical.

    Choose Flat and Tight Substrate Weaves: Achieving this ensures you

    have high-frequency and high-speed usages. This feature also ensures

    the dielectric constant is distributed evenly.

    Choose Materials with Low Moisture Absorption: Moisture absorption

    deals with the resistance of the PCB material when inserted into water.

    The weight of the PCB will increase as you get the material absorbed in

    water.

    Don’t Make Use of FR-4 for Applications That Require High

    Frequency: Avoid this at all cost, because they usually have a high

    dielectric loss. Asides from this, the Dk is usually sharp anytime it is

    compared to the frequency response curve.

    Benefits of Choosing RO4534

     Suitable for different applications

     Higher yield on panels with larger sizes

     Improved power handling

    Conclusion

    This glass-reinforced, ceramic-filled material offers low loss performance,

    controlled dielectric constant, and great passive intermodulation response.

    These laminates are very compatible with lead

    free high-temperature solder processing and conventional FR4. These

    laminates don’t need any special treatment required on PTFE-based

    traditional laminates. This product is a cheap option to antenna

    technologies that are more conventional, thereby giving the designers the
