CHANDLER, AZ – Rogers’ Advanced Circuit Materials Division will install an RO3000 dielectric production line here.

“We have decided to accelerate our investments in capacity expansion to support the strong global demand for RO3000 laminate materials, such as those used in 4G/LTE base station applications,” said Jeff Grudzien, vice president of Advanced Circuit Materials. “In addition, this investment puts us in a strong position to meet the future material needs of a growing number of radio frequency designs using RO3000 materials in 77GHz automotive sensors and mobile Internet devices such as tablets and smart phones.”

RO3000 high-frequency circuit materials are ceramic-filled PTFE composites intended for use in commercial microwave and RF applications.
