Rogers RO5880™ is a PTFE-based laminate reinforced with random glass microfibers, delivering ultra-low loss (Df=0.0009) and stable Dk (2.20±0.02) at mmWave frequencies. Its homogeneous structure, near-zero moisture absorption (<0.02%), and phase stability make it ideal for phased-array radars, 5G mmWave systems, satellite comms, and 77+ GHz automotive radar.

Rogers RO5880™ High-Frequency Laminate Description
Rogers RO5880™ is a glass microfiber-reinforced, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) composite laminate engineered for ultra-low-loss performance in critical RF/microwave applications. Its unique construction delivers exceptional electrical stability and minimal signal attenuation across mmWave frequencies. Key properties include:
Ultra-Low Signal Loss: Industry-leading dissipation factor (Df = 0.0009 @ 10 GHz), enabling high-efficiency signal transmission for sensitive systems.
Tight Dk Control: Near-constant dielectric constant (Dk = 2.20 ±0.02 @ 10 GHz) with minimal variation over frequency/temperature.
Homogeneous Structure: Random glass microfiber reinforcement eliminates fiber weave effects (Dk variation), essential for phase-sensitive arrays.
Low Moisture Absorption: <0.02% moisture uptake ensures stable performance in harsh environments.
Lightweight & Flexible: Low density (2.20 g/cm³) and mechanical flexibility suit conformal/weight-sensitive designs.
Thermal Stability: Operating range from -55°C to +150°C with predictable CTE (X/Y: 12 ppm/°C; Z: 175 ppm/°C).
Smooth Copper Adhesion: Electrodeposited (ED) or rolled copper options support high-precision etching.
Primary Applications:
Aerospace/defense radars (phased array antennas, AESA)
Satellite communications (Ka/Q/V-band transceivers)
Automotive radar (77/79 GHz ADAS sensors)
5G mmWave base stations (28/39 GHz massive MIMO)
High-frequency test probes & measurement equipment
Low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) and precision filters
