AI Customer ServiceRF Capacitors are designed to have the lowest possible ESR. This allows for minimal power loss at RF frequencies. RF Capacitors are designed to have high SRF allowing for a higher operating frequency range. Dielectric chosen to have minimal capacitance shift across entire operating temperature range.
A simple model of a capacitor is shown in Figure A. This model will simulate the SRF (series resonant frequency) of the part as well as the loss in the low-loss section of the part. “Cs” represents the intrinsic capacitance of the part measured at low frequency.
RF capacitors need to be very stable over a broad temperature range. RF Capacitors are designed to have the lowest possible ESR. This allows for minimal power loss at RF frequencies. RF Capacitors are designed to have high SRF allowing for a higher operating frequency range.
The SPICE models shown below represent a MLCC (Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor). The traces originate from vector network analyzer (VNA) measurements (except for “Rs”). The more complex model represents the capacitor more accurately, which is important for higher frequency applications since it includes the 1st PRF
RF Capacitors are designed to have high SRF allowing for a higher operating frequency range. Dielectric chosen to have minimal capacitance shift across entire operating temperature range. So, for RF capacitors, materials are chosen and the design is optimized so that the capacitors’ characteristics are well suited at the higher frequencies. How?
Higher Q’s are needed for RF capacitors to limit power dissipation. Shows where the total impedance is no longer capacitive and begins an upward trend (becomes inductive). Higher SRF = better RF capacitor, since some applications require the designer to stay well below the SRF.
