Taiwan selected 3 cities as demonstration cities for LED street lights

[High-tech LED News] It is reported that Taiwan will push the LED street lamp demonstration city, initially targeting the three cities of Keelung, Hsinchu and Chiayi as priority areas, which will drive the LED output of the three cities to exceed NT$6.4 billion. Taipei City and other 5 are also considered.

In recent years, under the blessing of carbon reduction, the output value of LED has grown at a double rate. In 2008, the output value of LED was only NT$46 billion. By 2010, it has reached 162.6 billion yuan, showing multiple growth. It is estimated that the annual output value will reach NT$1980. 100 million yuan.

"Energy Bureau" officials said that next year will be listed NT$180 million, LED street lamp energy-saving project demonstration plan, and also set up 150 million yuan to promote ESCO (energy-saving performance guarantee project), a total of 330 million yuan as a support for replacing LED street lamp program budget source. Due to the limited budget, the “Energy Bureau” has selected the three cities of Keelung, Hsinchu and Chiayi to make LED demonstration cities. The estimated budget is over NT$1 billion, which is completed in three to four years.

According to the "Energy Bureau" plan, it is hoped that the cost of replacing LED street lamps will be shared by the government and users through the ESCO and LED streetlights. It is hoped that the public sector and local governments will increase the willingness to adopt LED street lamps. The Energy Bureau hopes that in 2018 Years ago, 51.9% of all street lamps were replaced by mercury lamps. It is estimated that the electricity consumption will reach 518 million kWh and the carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 317,000 metric tons.

A Practical New Patent Technology for High Frequency PCB

The utility model patented high frequency circuit board includes a core board with a hollow groove and a copper clad plate adhering to the surface and the lower surface of the core board by flow glue. The upper opening and the lower opening edges of the hollow groove are provided with a baffle.

The high frequency circuit board provided by the utility model is provided with a barrier which can block the flow glue at the upper and lower edges of the hollow groove of the core board.

In this way, the flow glue will not enter the hollow slot when the core plate is bonded with the copper clad laminate placed on the upper and lower surfaces, that is, the bonding operation can be completed by one press.

Compared with the existing technology, the high frequency circuit board can only be completed by secondary pressing. The high frequency circuit board in the utility model has the advantages of simple structure, low cost and easy manufacture.


Characteristics of High Frequency Circuit Board


Generally speaking, high frequency circuit boards have their own characteristics: low dielectric constant, relatively stable. In theory, the smaller the dielectric constant, the more stable the signal, and the higher the frequency circuit board can play a better role in signal transmission. Medium loss is very small, it is not easy to absorb water and moisture, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and other excellent performance. Conversely, if the dielectric constant is high, the signal transmission process is slow.
 
The thermal expansion coefficients of high frequency circuit boards and copper foil are also correlated to a certain extent. They are consistent as far as possible. The inconsistency can easily lead to the separation of copper foil in the alternate change of heat and cold. The later use will affect the signal transmission of PCB. The absorbency of high frequency circuit board is lower than that of other multi-layer circuit boards, because humidity will affect the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of high frequency circuit board. In addition, the heat resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, peeling strength and other requirements are also good.

High frequency signals are vulnerable to noise and come with much tighter impedance tolerance as compared to conventional circuit boards.

High Frequency Circuit Board Materials


High frequency PCB have their own unique plates. Special materials are used to attain the high frequency given by the High Frequency PCB. PCB manufacturer commonly used Materials are: rogers(Rogers 4350B HF.Rogers RO3001.Rogers RO3003).Taconic(RF-35 Ceramic.TLX). Arlon(85N).Isola(IS620 E-fibre glass).F4B.TP-2.FR-4,Dielectric constant 2.2-10.6 and so on. FR4 is the cheapest one, while Teflon is the most expensive one. But they all have a common characteristic, which is the resin used in the material. The wiring of high frequency circuit board is exquisite and has great influence on components. High-frequency signals have the strongest impact on analog devices, so we should deal with the relationship between them to achieve the best performance. Therefore, high frequency is not easy to pass through high capacity electrolytic capacitors with poor high frequency performance.

Our most common request is for FR-4 material, which is composed of woven fiberglass bound by an epoxy resin, and which we always keep stocked as one of our PCB Options at a Standard Price. FR-4 is a robust material with excellent thermal characteristics, and electrically it is known to perform quite reasonably at RF or Microwave frequency levels. 

Some clients whose designs are intended for particularly demanding applications-such as high-power or broadband circuits-find that FR-4 sometimes just does not do the job at those higher frequencies. In these cases, we are always happy to help you find a laminate material to suit your specific needs, and our highly customizable PCB Assembly Process can be easily adjusted to make sure your project lead time is not impacted.

A snapshot of the datasheet for FR-4 material is shown below for reference. 

High Frequency PCB Materials-FR4

The most popular high-frequency-specific laminate materials were developed by Rogers, and referred to with an [RO-[ prefix. These high-quality materials exhibit approximately a 20% reduction in dielectric constant, compared to standard FR-4; they also boast rather impressive thermal characteristics, with Tg values above 280°C . A snapshot of the datasheet for RO4350B and RO4003C is included below for your convenience.

Requirements for Manufacturing Materials of High Frequency PCB


1. Dielectric loss (Df) must be small, which mainly affects the quality of signal transmission. The smaller the dielectric loss, the smaller the signal loss.

2. Low water absorption. High water absorption will affect dielectric constant and dielectric loss when damped.

3. The dielectric constant (DK) must be small and stable. Usually the smaller the better. The transmission rate of the signal is inversely proportional to the square root of the dielectric constant of the material. High dielectric constant easily causes signal transmission delay.

4. The coefficient of thermal expansion of copper foil is the same as that of copper foil, because the inconsistency will cause the separation of copper foil in the change of cold and heat.

5. Other heat resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength and peeling strength must also be good.

Generally speaking, high frequency can be defined as frequency above 1 GHz. At present, most of the high frequencies used are fluorine dielectric substrates. Teflon is much better than other substrates, such as PTFE, which is usually called Teflon.  However, Teflon substrate has the disadvantage of high cost and large heat resisting property..


How to Make High Frequency Circuit Board?

Fabrication Principle of High Frequency Circuit Board


In the design of high frequency circuit, the power supply is designed in the form of layers, which is much better than that in the form of buses in most cases, so that the circuit can always follow the path with the smallest impedance. In addition, the power board has to provide a signal loop for all generated and received signals on PCB, which can minimize the signal loop and reduce noise, which is often ignored by low frequency circuit designers.

In the design of high frequency PCB, we should follow the following principles:

  • Unity of power supply and ground, stability.

  • Careful wiring and proper termination can eliminate reflection.

  • Careful consideration of wiring and proper termination can reduce capacitive and inductive crosstalk.

  • Noise suppression is needed to meet EMC requirements.

Points for Attention in Manufacturing High Frequency Circuit Board


1. Impedance control is strict, relative line width control is very strict, general tolerance is about 2%.

2. Because of the special plate, the adhesion of PTH copper deposit is not high. Usually, plasma treatment equipment is needed to roughen the through-hole and surface to increase the adhesion of PTH copper and solder resist ink.

3. Do not grind the plate before welding resistance, otherwise the adhesion will be very poor, and can only be coarsened with micro-corrosive powder.

4. Most of the sheets are PTFE materials. There will be many rough edges when they are formed by ordinary milling cutters, which need special milling cutters.

5. High frequency circuit board is a special circuit board with high electromagnetic frequency. Generally speaking, high frequency can be defined as frequency above 1 GHz.

Its physical performance, accuracy and technical parameters are very demanding. It is often used in automobile anti-collision system, satellite system, radio system and other fields.
