Microwave Dielectric Components
Picture1
       Features   
1) High dielectric constant ·Large relative dielectric constant, 10-93,
 enabled compact design of the resonator.
2) High Q-value ·The high Q-value of dielectric material is
 comparable with those of the cavity-resonator.
3) Low, controllable temperature coefficient ·The temperature stability is high
 and it is possible to control.
4) Products with special shape and size can also be manufactured.
       Applications   
·Dielectric filters for mobile communications.
·Dielectric resonators for Base stations.
·Substrates for high frequency circuits and capacitors.
       Basic Material Properties of Dielectric Ceramics   
·Size of Resonators
     The size of the resonator with the relative dielectric constant er is scaled down in comparison
     with the metallic cavity-resonator by a factor of 1/Öer
·Q-value
     The Q-value is determined approximately by the dielectric loss (tan d) and the Q-value
     of the resonator increases as the dielectric loss decreases.
·Temperature Coefficient of Resonant Frequency (Tf)
     Temperature coefficient of resonant frequency is determined by Te 
     and linear thermal expansion coefficient ( a )
