Ceramic resonators substrates and filters

Basic material characteristics

Ceramic materials with high permittivity, high Q and very good temperature stability are useful for TEM mode coaxial resonators, TE mode dielectric resonators, RF filters, special capacitors and dielectric substrates for microwave circuits. Frequency range: from 0.3 GHz to 24 GHz.
