COAXIAL TEM RESONATORS

Coaxial resonators made with modern, high performance ceramic dielectric materials are very useful as compact frequency standards, filter elements, and distributed inductive or capacitive circuit elements. The high Q obtained in the UHF and microwave frequency range makes these resonators ideal for many applications. When cost, size, and stability are important, these resonators are the best choice.

Coaxial resonators can be supplied as quarter wave resonators with one end fully metallized (i.e., shorted) and the other end open, or as half wave resonators with both ends open. For surface mounting, tabbed or tabless resonators can be provided for soldering directly to the circuit board. Integrated Microwave offers a choice of eight resonator sizes and seven material types to meet virtually any resonator requirement in the 200 MHz to 10 GHz range. These resonators are pretuned to your specified frequency with a choice of tolerances.

Integrated Microwave resonators are made in our facilities in San Diego, California. In-house control of the pressing and firing of the green resonators ensures the optimum fired densities for the best electrical performance. Integrated Microwave’s proprietary silver metallization system produces the highest possible Q, exceptional solderability, and strongest metallization adhesion in the industry. Quarter and half wave resonators are precisely tuned to the specified frequency using the coupled transmission method and a network analyzer. Resonators are 100% screened for frequency to ensure that the customer’s specifications are met.

Integrated Microwave resonators are also available in tabless configuration. This technology represents a significant advance in reliability and accuracy, compared with traditional metal-tabbed resonators. The large solder pad eliminates misalignment and tab solder reflow problems, ensuring optimum performance.

FEATURES

  • No metal tabs
  • Large solder pad
  • No tab solder reflow problems
  • No tab misalignment
  • Higher Q
