Bicheng Electronics Technology Co., Ltd
We Are Your RF PCB Solution Provider! Rogers PCB, Taconic PCB, Arlon PCB, F4B PCB ISO9001, ISO14001, IATF 16949 certified
Our custom-made 2-layer rigid PCB has been supplied to meet the unique requirements of our clients. Taconic RF-35TC high frequency PCB's are PTFE based, ceramic filled fiberglass laminates which provide low dissipation factor and high thermal conductivity.
The extremely low dissipation factor of 0.0011 and high thermal conductivity of 0.87 W/mK are particularly suited for power amplifier applications. The heat is diffused away from both transmission lines and surface mount components such as transistors or capacitors.
RF-35TC PCB's have very low coefficient thermal expansion (CTE) on X, Y and Z axis (11, 13 and 34 ppm/°C respectively). Low CTE values on X and Y axis are crucial for maintaining critical distances between trace elements in a printed filter; low Z-axis CTE and stable Dk are critical for both narrow band and broad band overlay couplers.
