Introduction to RT/duroid 5880
Rogers RT/duroid 5880 high-frequency laminates are PTFE composites reinforced with glass microfibers. This material provides exceptional dielectric constant uniformity, making it ideal for stripline and microstrip circuit applications.
 
The low dissipation factor (Df) of 0.0009 at 10GHz allows the material to perform well at Ku-band frequencies and above, ensuring low signal loss and consistent performance across a wide frequency range. Additionally, RT/duroid 5880 laminates are resistant to solvents and reagents, providing durability during fabrication processes and in harsh environments.
