Material Highlights: ФР-4

As the industry’s most common Подложка печатной платы, FR-4 handles power management and digital control circuitry. Its inclusion significantly reduces overall board material costs while maintaining necessary performance.

4. Performance and Structural Characteristics

4.1 Unique Hybrid Laminate Structure

UGPCB’s 4-layer board features a symmetric yet functionally asymmetric stack-up. The top and bottom layers (L1 & L4) use RO4350B for high-frequency RF signal routing. The inner layers (L2 & L3) use FR-4 for power planes and low-speed control signals. This structure balances RF performance with mechanical stability.

4.2 Точный контроль импеданса

RO4350B’s accurate Dk value (3.48), combined with UGPCB’s strict etching processes, allows us to maintain characteristic impedance (например, 50Ой) tolerances within tight ranges. This precision is vital for RF front-end modules in communication base stations.

4.3 Superior Environmental Reliability

RO4350B features extremely low moisture absorption (примерно 0.06%) and a high glass transition temperature (Тг > 280°С). The PCB maintains stable electrical performance even in humid or high-temperature environments.

4.4 Погружение Золото (СОГЛАШАТЬСЯ) Поверхностная отделка

СОГЛАШАТЬСЯ provides an exceptionally flat surface. This flatness is crucial for minimizing skin effect losses at high frequencies. The gold layer also protects pads, Обеспечение превосходной припадения и коррозионной стойкости.

5. Working Principle and Design Considerations

Принцип работы

Within this PCB, а Rogers RO4350B material layers primarily transmit and process RF signals. Its stable, low-loss characteristics ensure high-fidelity signal propagation from input to output. The FR-4 layers supply power to RF chips, transmit low-speed control logic signals, and provide mechanical support for the entire board.

Ключевые соображения по проектированию

Engineers designing such hybrid PCBs must pay attention to:

• Соответствие CTE: RO4350B and FR-4 have different coefficients of thermal expansion (КТР). Designs must consider stack-up symmetry to prevent board warpage after lamination.

• Reflow Control: Precise lamination parameters are needed to prevent dielectric layer slippage during pressing.
