One can see the influence of the SMA center connector on the picture
of the solder-friendly board on the unpopulated side. The dip is by
far not as severe.

I wanted to make sure that I don't ask for trouble if I meander
from a ball grid array.

... but have enough gnd vias around. *ON* the board it's layer L2 that
counts for GND.

For a NMR project on 8 GHz, I had a mixed Rogers TMM-6 & FR4 board.
Not from JLCPCB but the customer's favourite shop around the corner.

The strip lines ended up on the FR-4 side, power supply on TMM_6.
Yes, we *had* talked about the stackup. It's clearly the best not to
expect people thinking or to deviate from their daily routine.

BTW, TMM-6 is a brittle, ugly material which feels much like an
eraser gum. I would not use it alone without FR4 for mechanical reasons.


We used to build oil/gaz pipeline pigs. FR4 may soak up hydrocarbons
and swell. That may crack the vias open. So we went to boards made
from Kapton.

Be alarmed when the factory offers short production times. Kapton
prepregs have a shelf live of only a few weeks. They may be tempted
sell you prepregs that are left over from a project half a year ago.
Your boards will de-laminate after two weeks in the field.
Been there, seen that, with luxury top notch FPGAs that cost 1000s. :-(


cheers, Gerhard
