RF PCB Manufacturer | DK 2.0-10.6 IPC Class2/3

In 5G, レーダー, and satellite navigation, RF PCB is the key to signal integrity. UGPCB 配達します RF PCB solutions using FR‑4, テフロン, PTFE, セラミック, そして 炭化水素. We follow IPCクラス 2 そして クラス 3 標準. This article explains RF PCB design, 材料, と製造.

What Is an RF PCB? – The Core Interconnect for RF Circuits

AnRF PCB (Radio Frequency Printed Circuit Board) handles signals from 100 MHzから 100 GHz. It requires tight control of dielectric constant (DK), 散逸係数 (Df), and characteristic impedance.

UGPCB defines RF PCB as a high‑frequency signal carrier. We strictly comply with IPCクラス 2 そして クラス 3. These products are ideal for antennas, 楽器, and communication equipment.

Authority data: によるとIPC‑2141A (High‑Frequency Circuit Design Guide), a Dk variation > ±0.05 at 2.4 GHz can cause impedance deviation >5%. This leads to significant return loss (S11 degradation).

Design Essentials of RF PCB: インピーダンス, 材料, and Stack‑up

A successfulRF PCB design focuses on three core areas.

2.1 Precise Characteristic Impedance Control

Most RF PCB designs target 50おお (RF systems) または 75おお (video/broadcast). The microstrip impedance formula is: $z_{0} = \frac{87}{\sqrt{e_{r} + 1.41}} de \ln (\frac{5.98 h}{0.8 w + t})$

どこ:
$e_{r}$ = Dk, $h$ =誘電体の厚さ, $w$ =トレース幅, $t$ =銅の厚さ.

UGPCB uses etch compensation. Our trace width tolerance is ≤ ±5µm. This ensures impedance deviation < ±8%, それを超えるIPCクラス 3 requirement of ±10%.

2.2 安定した誘電率 (DK)

UGPCB offersRF PCB materials withDk from 2.0 に 10.6:

PTFE/ceramic: Dk tolerance ±0.02 (典型的な)
炭化水素: Dk tolerance ±0.05
FR‑4: only for RF below 1 GHz

2.3 Stack‑up and Structure

1‑2 layer – microstrip, coplanar waveguide for simple RF circuits.
多層プリント基板 – inner layers for power/ground, outer layers for RF signals. Buried and blind vias reduce parasitics.

ソース: あたりUL 796, UGPCB 多層RF PCB layer‑to‑layer registration is within ±2 mil. This ensures consistency for complex RF structures.

How Does an RF PCB Work? – Electromagnetic Wave Propagation

AnRF PCB acts as a precision electromagnetic waveguide. The signal travels along microstrip or stripline. To minimize reflection and loss, two conditions must be met:

Impedance matching – source, line, and load must match. Otherwise VSWR increases. UGPCB RF PCB achieves typical VSWR ≤ 1.2.
低損失 – use low Df materials (例えば。, PTFE Df as low as 0.0005). This reduces dielectric and conductor loss (表皮効果).

Scientific Classification of RF PCB (per IPC‑6018)

IPC‑6018 defines high‑frequency board categories.UGPCB classifiesRF PCB into four types:
