Ultraminiature equalizers combine resistive and capacitive elements
AVX Corporation released the new GEQ Series RC equalizers. These ruggedly constructed, ultraminiature (EIA 0402, 1005 metric) equalizers combine high-performance tantalum nitride (TaN) resistive elements and silicon/oxygen/nitrogen (SiON) capacitive elements with AVX’s proprietary, automotive-qualified, glass-sandwich FLEXITERM surface-mount technology, which provides an extra measure of protection against flexure damage during installation. The new GEQ Series equalizers are also manufactured with 100% laser trimming […]
Inside look at a super-narrow band-pass filter-on-a-chip
The days of constructing bandpass filters from discrete components are pretty much over when it comes to the frequencies involved in modern wireless gear. That’s what makes the video we recently did with Alex Rabinovich from AVX interesting. Alex showed us a bandpass filter characteristic that’s super narrow, and the filter that creates also comes […]
