AD1000 is a high dielectric constant substrate that permits circuit miniaturization, compared to traditional low loss materials. It is especially beneficial for power amplifiers, filters, couplers and other components using low impedance lines. AD1000 is a woven glass reinforced laminate. This allows for Greater Dimensional Stability and Mechanical Robustness than other 10 Dk Products. Its large panel size is also advantageous for “multi-circuits per panel” processing. AD1000 is considered a “soft substrate” and is relatively insensitive to vibrational stress. This allows miniaturized circuitry without requiring the complicated processing or special handling associated with brittle pure ceramic or ceramic hydrocarbon materials. AD1000 is compatible with processing used for standard PTFE based printed circuit board substrates. In addition, the low Z-axis thermal expansion provided by the ceramic loading will improve plated through hole reliability, compared to typical PTFE based laminates. The low X-Y thermal expansion provides excellent matching to ceramic chip carriers and other ceramic components. AD1000 was specifically developed for Miniaturized Circuitry for compact devices (i.e., GPS Receivers), Patch Antennas (where smaller size is required), Satellite Communications Systems, Power Amplifiers (PAs), Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), Low Noise Block Downconverters (LNBs), Radar Modules and Manifolds, Aircraft Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS), and Ground Based Radar Systems.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Dielectric Constant vs. Frequency
Demonstrates the Stability of Dielectric Constant across Frequency. This information was correlated from data generated by using a free space and circular resonator cavity. This characteristic demonstrates the inherent robustness of Arlon Laminates across Frequency, thus simplifying the final design process when working across EM spectrum. The stability of the Dielectric Constant of AD1000 over frequency ensures easy design transition and scalability of design.
- Dissipation Factor vs. Frequency
Demonstrates the Stability of Dissipation Factor across Frequency. This characteristic demonstrates the inherent robustness of Arlon Laminates across Frequency, providing a stable platform for high frequency applications where signal integrity is critical to the overall performance of the application.
