Microwave Ceramic Capacitors Film Capacitors

These capacitors are suitable for operation across many applications and industries including: consumer, commercial, industrial, telecom, automotive, military, aerospace, space, and medical. RF/Microwave SMD capacitors designed and manufactured for optimal performance in RF and microwave frequencies, high RF power, and optical applications.

International Symposium on Microelectronics (2017) 2017 (1): 000056–000060. Thin-film capacitors can be created on various substrates including glass, low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC), and potentially on laminate PC board materials if the surface is sufficiently smooth.

Another major series of microwave capacitors consists of both multilayer porcelain and ceramic capacitors for frequencies from 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz (AQ11 - 14 Series). Three sizes of specially designed ultra-low ESR C0G (NP0) capacitors are covered for RF applications (“U” Series).

As in the Accu-F® series the use of very low-loss dielectric materials (silicon dioxide and silicon oxynitride) in conjunction with highly conductive electrode metals results in low ESR and high Q. At high frequency these characteristics change at a slower rate with increasing frequency than conventional ceramic microwave capacitors.

RF/Microwave capacitors is a thrust business for us. AVX offers a broad line of RF/Microwave Chip Capacitors in a wide range of sizes, styles, and ratings. The Thin-Film Products range illustrated in this catalog represents the state-of-the-art in RF Capacitors, Inductors, Directional Couplers and Low Pass Filters.

Three sizes of specially designed ultra-low ESR C0G (NP0) capacitors are covered for RF applications (“U” Series). A wide range of ceramic dielectric materials are available in single-layer capacitors (SLC's) in both EIA Class I and Class II types, for maximum capacitance per unit area in a X7R characteristic there are the Maxi-SLC's.
