Rogers Corporation to Present & Exhibit at IMS in Atlanta
May 18, 2021 | Rogers CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Rogers Corporation announced that Technical Marketing Manager, John Coonrod, will present Thermal Management for High Frequency Printed Circuit Boards from 11:45 – 12:00 p.m. on Tue., June 8 and Stripline Circuitry for Millimeter-Wave and Very High Speed Digital from 11:15 – 11:30 p.m. on Wed., June 9 in the MicroApps Theater at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Atlanta.
In addition, Rogers will be showcasing its latest 5G and autonomous vehicle materials and other products in Booth #1621 during IMS, the world’s largest RF and Microwave show, which takes place from Tues. June 8 – Wed., June 9. These products include XtremeSpeed™ RO1200™ laminates and bondplies, RT/duroid® 6035HTC laminates, as well as recently launched SpeedWave™ 300P ultra-low loss prepreg.
XtremeSpeed RO1200 circuit materials are engineered to meet the unique electrical and thermal/mechanical demands of high speed designs. These circuit materials enable system designers the flexibility to design leading edge systems that maximize data throughput and minimize latency in performance demanding applications. With a low dielectric constant of 3.05, and a maximum dissipation factor of 0.0017 @10GHz, XtremeSpeed RO1200 materials provide outstanding signal integrity, reduced signal skew, and reduced cross-talk. Combined with superior thermal/mechanical performance, low CTE, and a halogen free UL 94 V-0 rating, these materials are well suited for the most demanding high layer count applications.
RT/duroid 6035HTC laminates feature a relative dielectric constant of 3.5 at 10 GHz, making them suitable for a wide range of circuits, including amplifiers, couplers, filters, and power combiners/dividers employed in avionic and other military and hi-reliability systems. The laminates incorporate a unique filler material to achieve superior heat-transfer characteristics compared to other high frequency circuit materials with similar dielectric constant. With outstanding thermal conductivity of 1.44 W/m?K as well as low loss, with a loss tangent of 0.0013 at 10 GHz, for excellent high frequency performance, this combination of high thermal conductivity and low dielectric loss translates into improved amplifier performance.
SpeedWave 300P prepreg provides excellent thermal reliability for the most demanding high layer count designs requiring multiple sequential laminations. It also delivers superior fill and flow capability around heavy copper features, a low z-axis expansion for plated through-hole reliability and is CAF resistant. This UL 94 V-0 rated material is compatible with modified FR-4 fabrication processes and lead-free PCB assembly processing and is ideal for 5G mmWave, high resolution 77 GHz automotive radar, aerospace & defense and high speed digital designs.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
The Right Blend: Mixed Wireless Technologies
05/08/2025 | Kirsten Zima, Siemens EDAA common trend recently is to employ as many radios as possible on a single PCB. With the increase of wireless standards and the downscaling of PCB size, it can be difficult to know what the most critical design parameters are to focus on. In this article, we’ll discuss the most important considerations to make when designing with mixed wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi, on a single PCB. These considerations include antennas, frequencies, FCC compliance, shielding, and layout with and without transition vias.
