[Satellite TODAY 02-21-11] AVX Corp., a passive components and interconnect solutions manufacturer, has developed a multilayer capacitor chip series, UQCL, with new dielectric and internal electrode materials intended to allow for lower equivalent series resistance than in previous versions of RF capacitors, the company announced Feb. 22.
    The chips were designed for RF/microwave applications ranging from 10 MHz to 4.2 GHz, which include: RF/IF amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, low-noise amplifiers and filter networks.
    “This new series has a fine-grained, high-density, high-purity dielectric material to keep out moisture and includes an electrode system that has been optimized for high-frequency performance,” the company said in a statement.
