Rogers RT/duroid 6002 microwave material stands out as a pioneering laminate, offering a unique combination

of low loss and low dielectric constant properties that are essential for designing intricate microwave structures

with superior electrical and mechanical characteristics. These features ensure both mechanical reliability and

electrical stability, crucial in demanding microwave applications.

Key features and benefits of Rogers RT/duroid 6002 material include:

1.Thermal Stability: The material exhibits an extremely low thermal coefficient of dielectric constant across a

wide temperature range from -55°C to +150°C. This stability is vital for applications such as filters, oscillators,

and delay lines, where precise electrical performance is essential.

2.Z-Axis Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE): The low Z-axis CTE ensures the reliability of plated through

holes, contributing to the overall durability and performance of the material in challenging thermal environments.

3.Reliability: RT/duroid 6002 materials have demonstrated exceptional reliability through temperature cycling

tests (-55°C to 125°C) for over 5000 cycles without any via failures, highlighting the material's robust construction.

4.Dimensional Stability: Achieving excellent dimensional stability (0.2 to 0.5 mils/inch) is facilitated by matching

the coefficient of expansion in the X and Y directions to that of copper. This alignment often eliminates the need

for double etching, streamlining manufacturing processes and improving positional tolerances.

5.Reduced Stress on Solder Joints: The low tensile modulus in the X and Y directions reduces stress on solder

joints, enhancing the overall reliability of surface mount assemblies. The constrained expansion of the laminate,

coupled with low CTE metal, further enhances surface mount reliability by minimizing mismatch-induced stresses.

Overall, Rogers RT/duroid 6002 material offers a comprehensive solution for high-frequency applications, combining exceptional electrical properties with mechanical robustness to meet the stringent requirements of modern microwave

designs.

The unique properties of RT/duroid 6002 material make it well-suited for a variety of applications that

require high performance in challenging environments. Some typical applications include:

Airborne Radar Systems: Utilized in radar systems for aircraft navigation and surveillance applications.

Beam Forming Networks: Essential for beamforming applications in communication and radar systems.

Commercial Airline Collision Avoidance: Critical for systems designed to enhance safety and prevent

collisions in commercial aviation.

Global Positioning Systems Antennas: Used in GPS antenna systems for accurate positioning and navigation.

Ground Base Systems: Deployed in ground-based communication and radar systems for various applications.
