Double Layer Rogers PCB Built on 60.7mil RO4003C LoPro Reverse Treated Foil for Power Amplifiers
(Printed Circuit Boards are custom-made products, the picture and parameters shown are just for reference)
RO4003C LoPro laminates incorporate an innovative technology developed by Rogers that facilitates the bonding
of reverse treated foil to the standard RO4003C dielectric material. This advanced manufacturing process produces
a laminate characterized by minimal conductor loss, leading to enhanced insertion loss performance and superior
signal integrity.
Despite the reduction in conductor loss, the RO4003C LoPro laminate retains all the other highly desirable
characteristics of the standard RO4003C laminate system. This ensures that the laminate maintains its
exceptional properties and reliability while offering improved signal transmission capabilities, making it
an ideal choice for applications where low insertion loss and uncompromised signal fidelity are paramount.
