RF PCB Quote for High Frequency Applications
RF PCB fabrication requires more careful material selection, stack-up control, impedance review, and manufacturing process control than standard FR4 PCB fabrication. RF circuit boards are used in wireless communication, antenna systems, radar, microwave equipment, sensors, and high frequency test instruments.
PCB Fabrication Company can review RF PCB projects using Rogers materials, high frequency laminates, controlled impedance structures, and hybrid RF/FR4 stack-ups.
RF PCB Applications
- Wireless communication PCB
- Antenna PCB and RF module PCB
- Radar and sensor PCB
- Microwave circuit board
- RF power amplifier PCB
- Filters, couplers, and RF front-end boards
- Controlled impedance PCB
- High frequency test and measurement PCB
Common RF PCB Materials
| Material Type | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Rogers 4350B | RF, microwave, antenna, radar, and controlled impedance PCB applications |
| Rogers 4003C | Commercial RF, wireless communication, antenna, and microwave PCB applications |
| High Tg FR4 | Some lower frequency or cost-sensitive high speed designs |
| Hybrid Rogers + FR4 | Multilayer designs using RF material on selected layers and FR4 for other layers |
RF PCB Quote Requirements
| Required Information | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Gerber and Drill Files | Required for engineering review, board size, routing, holes, copper features, and layer count. |
| Material Requirement | RF performance depends heavily on laminate type and dielectric thickness. |
| Board Thickness | Finished thickness affects impedance, mechanical design, and assembly. |
| Copper Weight | Copper thickness affects impedance, current capacity, etching, and RF trace geometry. |
| Surface Finish | ENIG, immersion silver, lead-free HASL, and other finishes may be selected according to assembly and RF needs. |
| Controlled Impedance | Impedance values and stack-up are important for RF transmission line performance. |
| Quantity and Lead Time | Prototype and production orders may have different pricing and scheduling requirements. |
RF PCB Fabrication Capability
| Item | Capability |

| Order Type | Prototype RF PCB and production RF PCB fabrication |
RF PCB Design Considerations
1. Material Selection
RF PCB material should be selected according to operating frequency, insertion loss requirement, dielectric thickness, cost target, and customer design specification.
2. Impedance Control
Microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, and differential structures should be defined clearly when controlled impedance is required.
3. Grounding and Via Design
RF PCB designs often depend on ground plane quality, via fences, return paths, and shielding structures. These details should be checked before production.
4. Hybrid Stack-Up
Hybrid Rogers and FR4 structures can reduce cost while keeping RF performance in selected layers, but they require careful stack-up and lamination review.

RF PCB Quote FAQ
What is an RF PCB?
An RF PCB is a printed circuit board designed for radio frequency circuits, microwave circuits, antennas, wireless communication, radar, or other high frequency applications.
What material is commonly used for RF PCB?
Rogers 4350B, Rogers 4003C, other RF laminates, and sometimes High Tg FR4 or hybrid Rogers/FR4 structures may be used depending on the design.
What is needed for an RF PCB quote?
Gerber files, drill files, material requirement, board thickness, copper weight, surface finish, quantity, and controlled impedance information are recommended.
Can RF PCB use FR4 material?
Some lower frequency or cost-sensitive designs may use FR4, but higher frequency designs often require Rogers or other RF materials.
Can you quote prototype RF PCB orders?
Yes. Prototype RF PCB and production RF PCB orders can be reviewed according to the design files and material requirements.
