AD1000 PCB double sided 1oz Finished Cu weight and Immersion Gold for Power Amplifiers(PAs)

Pump Up Your RF Designs with Our Totally Tubular AD1000 Material!

Dudes and dudettes, get stoked about our brand new high frequency PCB substrate - the rad AD1000! This primo material is designed to make your RF circuits scream with delight.

The AD1000 is crafted from woven glass and PTFE mixed with ceramic particles to form a gnarly composite. The ceramic filler pumps up the dielectric constant to a massive 10.2 at 10GHz for maximum shredability. It also keeps the loss factor chill at 0.0023 so your signals flow smoothly without wiping out. This stuff remains steady from -40°C to +85°C so you can count on excellent performance from the Arctic Circle to the Sahara.

Our 2-layer AD1000 boards are constructed with 0.635mm of dielectric sandwiched between 1oz copper layers. These totally tubular boards will make your X-band and below circuits want to catch epic waves!

Multiple benefits can be realized through the use of AD1000:

• The robust mechanical properties provide durability and structural integrity for PCBs. The woven glass reinforcement enhances flexural strength while the ceramic filler increases hardness.
• Superior dimensional stability is made possible even during thermal excursions. The low Z-axis CTE of AD1000 minimizes expansions/contractions that can induce stresses.
• Miniaturization of circuitry enabled by the high dielectric constant allows for reductions in overall footprint and weight savings. Compact form factors can be achieved.
• Efficient heat dissipation and thermal management are facilitated by the thermal conductivity of the ceramic-filled composite material. This maintains PCB temperatures at safe operating levels.
• Signal integrity is improved compared to traditional resin materials due to the precise control of dielectric constant and low loss tangent. This results in minimal signal distortion.
• Cost-effective PCB layout and fabrication is achieved because tightly spaced traces and components can be utilized based on the robust mechanical and electrical characteristics of AD1000.
• Reliable performance is maintained even in humid operating environments thanks to the low moisture absorption properties of the filled PTFE composite.

2-layer PCBs with 0.635mm thick AD1000 dielectric and 1 oz outer copper layers are now able to be provided. The suitability of these boards for operating up to X-band frequencies has been established, making them ideal for numerous RF applications like:

• Radar modules/manifolds where precision electrical properties are necessitated
• Aircraft collision avoidance systems requiring compact yet rugged construction
• Ground-based radar arrays needing excellent thermal conductivity
• Miniaturized circuitry and patch antennas enabled by the high dielectric constant
• Power amplifiers necessitating low loss for signal integrity
• Low noise amplifiers demanding dimensional stability for precise function
