ATC’s 800 A Series offers superb performance in demanding high RF
power applications requiring consistent and reliable operation. The
combination of highly conductive metal electrode systems, optimized
case geometries, and proprietary dielectrics, yields the lowest ESR.
ATC’s new NPO low loss rugged dielectrics are designed to provide su-
perior heat transfer in high RF power applications. Ultra-low ESR and
superior thermal performance insure that the 800 A Series products
are your best choice for high RF power applications from UHF through
microwave frequencies.
Typical applications: UHF and Microwave Communications Systems,
Wireless Communications, Public Safety Radio, Telecom, WiMAX, and
Satellite Systems.
Typical circuit applications: High RF Power Filter Networks, Combiners,
Couplers, Matching Networks, Output Coupling, Antenna Coupling, and
DC Blocking and Bypassing.
