Rogers to Feature Advanced Materials Technology and Capabilities for Antennas at IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Rogers Corporation will exhibit at the IEEE International Symposium on Antennas & Propagation (IEEE AP-S) in Portland, Oregon (Booth #108) on July 25th-26th.

The IEEE AP-S conference is intended to provide an international forum for the exchange of information on state-of-the-art research in antennas, propagation, electromagnetic engineering and radio science.

Rogers’ Technical team will be presenting two papers on novel material solutions. Conference attendees can learn about “Dual Band Dual Polarized Electrically Small Antenna Employing a Magnetic Material” (July 27th at 8:40 a.m.)  and “High Performance Dual-Band Antenna Using Rogers Magneto-Dielectric Material for GNSS Band” (July 28th at 2:00 p.m.) at these technical sessions.

Key Rogers’ products being featured:

Radix™ 3D Printable Dielectrics family of products, with the first available material featuring a dielectric constant of 2.8 and low loss characteristics at microwave frequencies. These printable dielectric materials give radio frequency (RF) designers unprecedented design freedom in creating new components, eliminating the need to consider typical manufacturing design constraints.

Radix 3D Printable Dielectrics are proprietary composite materials designed for the scalable manufacture of gradient index and controlled Dk 3D structures, through a scalable, high-resolution printing process for end-use RF dielectric component manufacturing. Rogers Corporation’s first Radix 3D Printable Dielectric material has a targeted dielectric constant of 2.8 and a dissipation factor of 0.0043 at 10 GHz when cured.

MAGTREX® 555 High Impedance Laminates: The first commercially available low loss laminate with controlled and matched permeability and permittivity, enabling antenna designers to expand the trade-space of their antenna design, enabling design flexibility and optimization.

Rogers’ proprietary TMM® ceramic, thermoset polymer composites are designed for high frequency applications. Commonly available in laminate form, Rogers also offers capabilities to produce molded, 3-dimensional shapes of TMM material. Shaped TMM components open up a new range of innovative design solutions for high or low frequency applications requiring controlled dielectric constant with low loss factor.

TMM molded components can help designers eliminate costly machining and assembly steps, create smaller components, and improve SWaP at the system level. Select Metallization of TMM Shapes is possible, but highly application dependent. 

Consultation with one of Rogers’ technical experts can guide the success of designs. They will be available to discuss the most demanding applications from Phase Array Radar Antennas, high frequency magneto-dielectric materials, ablative Radome materials, and metallized-shaped/3D ADM dielectric solutions.
