High-frequency PCB substrate requirements and characteristics

High-frequency circuit boards require substrates with low and stable dielectric constants (Dk), minimal dielectric loss, consistent thermal expansion coefficients of copper foil, and properties such as heat and chemical resistance, impact strength, and peel strength. These materials are crucial for maintaining signal integrity and operational stability, particularly in applications above 1GHz where Teflon-based substrates like FR4 are commonly used to optimize performance.

Are High-Frequency PCBs More Effective?

High-frequency PCBs are crucial in communication electronics and advancing sectors like air transportation and satellites. Selecting PCB substrates involves prioritizing low and stable dielectric constants (Dk) for faster signal transmission, minimizing dielectric loss, and considering material properties such as consistent copper foil thermal expansion, low water absorption, and robust mechanical characteristics. Teflon is preferred above 5GHz, while FR-4 suits 1-10GHz, with material choice ultimately tailored to specific needs like high stability and signal quality maintenance under varied conditions.
