Rogers to display circuit materials at Satellite 2013

Rogers Corporation to showcase circuit materials for commercial and military satellite communications (satcom) electronic applications at the upcoming Satellite 2013 Exhibition to be held on March 19-21 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, DC, USA. Rogers to display its RT/duroid 6035HTC high-frequency laminates, light-weight RT/duroid 5880LZ circuit materials, and 2929 bondply material for fabricating multilayer circuits. RT/duroid 6035HTC is a ceramic-filled, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite material designed especially for high frequency, high power applications, such as antenna beam forming networks and power amplifiers for satcom systems and wireless cellular communications networks. With a relative dielectric constant of 3.50 at 10 GHz, the circuit material achieves minimal dielectric loss by merit of a low dissipation factor of 0.0013 at 10 GHz. The high-thermal-conductivity (HTC) fluoropolymer composite contains a unique filler system that enables excellent thermal conductivity of 1.44 W/m/K, with low drill wear compared to competitive offerings. Rogers RT/duroid 5880LZ PTFE based composite also features a unique filler, resulting in a low-density, light weight material well suited for airborne and satellite communications antennas, point-to-point digital radio antennas, and light weight feed networks.
