APPLICATIONS

RO4350B for 24 GHz radar development

At 24 GHz, trace geometry, launches, antenna structure and fabrication tolerances deserve close attention. A material’s broad RF use does not replace a frequency-specific loss and tolerance assessment.

ENGINEERING ANSWER

At 24 GHz, trace geometry, launches, antenna structure and fabrication tolerances deserve close attention. A material’s broad RF use does not replace a frequency-specific loss and tolerance assessment.

What to decide before release

Evaluate the exact foil and stackup with EM simulation and representative coupons. Include the radome or enclosure when assessing antennas. Coordinate the RF drawing with fabrication capability before committing to fine features.

Checks to put in your design brief

  • Validate the dielectric model at the band
  • Include the antenna environment
  • Measure representative hardware

Important distinction

Do not extrapolate a low-frequency impedance check into a guarantee of radar performance.

Turn this into a design decision

Record your selected construction, the assumptions that affect this topic, and the evidence needed before release. Use the engineering workbench to prepare a preliminary calculation, then discuss the exact stackup and acceptance requirements with the fabricator.
